    short and simple explanation of PATCH and PUT. we are not using PATCH in our product as the records are not so heavy, Able to manage changes with PUT itself. But found the use case of PATCH very informative, thanks.

    Hello Yogita. Thanks for your explanation. I have a question for you. How do you handle the result of a patch code? Let's say I want to use a Patch endpoint and the endpoint has a specific logic whether to update a single field or not based on several business condition. Now based on the conditions defined, the endpoint might choose not to update the field. In such cases, I want to know from the calling method whether the update happened or not? I don't want to send an error code. Have you tried scenarios like this? Do you have some suggestion?

    Suppose you expose a delete operation to the client, but on the server side you don't delete the resource, but rather mark it as "deleted" (so the record is still there for auditing purposes). Would you use DELETE or PATCH? I realize either would work but is one of them regarded as best practice in this situation?

We can fetch this id and search if this is already created or not, if it exists we can update the resource with the request body's resource and if not we can create a new one ? Please correct me If I am wrong?

    at 8:20 you said that put request is idempotent as the state of the server is not going to change, no matter how many times you make the request. But first time obviously it'll update the information and second time onwards, there will be no change. So doesnt that makes it non-idempotent? Please clarify.

  • @kaushalshakya2983

    Idempotency : PATCH vs PUT A PATCH is not necessarily idempotent, although it can be. In contrast PUT which is always idempotent. For example if an auto-incrementing counter field is an integral part of the resource, then a PUT will naturally overwrite it (since it overwrites everything), but not necessarily so for PATCH.

    Hi Yogita, You said that in Put Request we mention id in the request body and not in path param , but later in 5:32 you are saying we will get 404 if we put wrong id in path param. This is a contradiction as in put request we are not supposed to put id in path param whether correct or incorrect.

    I think Patch is not idempotent always , PATCH is not necessarily idempotent, although it can be. Contrast this with PUT; which is always idempotent. The word "idempotent" means that any number of repeated, identical requests will leave the resource in the same state. For example if an auto-incrementing counter field is an integral part of the resource, then a PUT will naturally overwrite it (since it overwrites everything), but not necessarily so for PATCH.

    1) 2:49 For an upsert operation using PUT where the id of the payload being sent does not exist on the server, it creates a new resource on the server. Should it not return 201 ( created ) as the status right? 2) 3:36 How do we find out if a server supports upsert for put request? Does it return 405 ( method not allowed ) if a PUT request is done with a particular id for an object which does not exist already? Thank you so much for taking time out to help us out with this explanation. However in this video your voice was a bit low. Any issues in the mic?

    1) 201 response returns a reference to the resource created while 200 status returns the resource itself. 2) I think video mentions that upsert is not possible with resource id in path parameter, but even if it is in body is might not support. but returning 405 means server does not support PUT verb at all.
