Hi Sanjana,

HttpPatch methods are used to do update operation in Salesforce. You have to write class with @httpPatch method which will be used by end user.

Hi,

HttpPatch methods are used to do update operation in salesforce. You have to write class with @httpPatch method which will be used by end user.

Please refer this:

@RestResource(urlMapping='/jaichaturvedirestexample/*')
global with sharing class RESTClass{

@HttpPatch //use patch for updating record in database. we have to pass record id to fecth it from database and then update it.
global static String updateAccount(string accnumber){
  String accid1 = RestContext.request.params.get('id');
  Account acc = [select accountnumber from account where id =: accid1];
  acc.accountnumber = accnumber;
  update acc;
  return 'account updated';
}

}

Here end user have to pass account number ot update account record.

Hope this helps.
