Updates a node.

update(node: Node): Promise<Node>

Returns

A Promise that will resolve with a Node object.

Example

JavaScript
let node = {
    "id": "d6bdea41-729c-4a07-85bf-a392aa0afc2b",
    "displayName": {
        "en-GB": "Tiger Escaped From Zoo",
        "fr-FR": "Tigre échappé du zoo"
    },
    "slug": {
        "en-GB": "tiger-escaped-from-zoo",
        "fr-FR": "tigre-s-est-echappe-du-zoo"
    },
    "entryId": "9272ac06-1b3a-4e68-ac1b-a05828b0f7d6"
};
client.nodes.update(node)
  .then(result => {      
    console.log('API call result: ', result);              
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.log('API call fetch error: ', error);      
});

Validations

Parent id

A node must have a parent id. If you attempt to create a node without a parent id you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "The parent id cannot be an empty guid"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}

Parent child limit

A parent node cannot have more than 2000 children. If you attempt to create a node which breaches this limit you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "A parent must not have more than 2000 children"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}

Depth limit

The maximum depth of a node is 10 levels. If you attempt to create a node which breaches this limit you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "The maximum depth for a node is 10 levels deep"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}

Slug

A node must have at least one slug for a language. If you attempt to create a node without a slug you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "A slug is required for at least one language"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}

A node slug cannot be longer than 50 characters. If you attempt to create a node with a slug which breaches this you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "The node slug cannot be longer than 50 characters"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}

A node slug must be unique for a language on a given parent node. If you attempt to create a node which breaks this rule you will get the following response:

JSON
{
    "logId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "message": "There were validation errors creating the node",
    "data": [
        {
            "field": "",
            "message": "The node slug repeatedSlug exists for the language en-GB in parent f3322e4f-72b5-4064-be88-fcfed6c82635 in the tree 1126b642-409b-4372-bb17-0bdb7f641a5d"
        }
    ],
    "type": "Validation"
}
