Patch a leaflist RESTCONF

[Gastonper]

Hi, I have some server with a leaf-list in it.

I want to edit the elements in this leaf-list via RESTCONF.

If I do something like this:

curl -i -X PATCH http://X.X.X.X:YYY/restconf/data/services/myservice -H "Content-Type: application/yang-data+json" --data '{"myservice:serviceA": [ {"label": "new-label"}]}' 

The leaf-list "label" adds the string "new-label". But sometime I want to replace the entire content of "label" with my new label, and not just add the new string to the list.

Is it possible to do this? What path or method do I need to pass?

Thanks

Hi,
Shouldn’t you be using PUT instead of PATCH for this usecase?

If I use PUT, NSO try tu make a new instance of myservice and I get an error. Maybe the restconf path is wrong

My service:

list myservice{
	key "code";
	
	leaf code {
		type string;
	}
	
	...
	
	leaf-list label {
		type string;
	}
}

RESTCONF:

curl -i -X PUT http:/X.X.X.X:YYY/restconf/data/services/myservice -H "Content-Type: application/yang-data+json" --data '{"myservice:myservice": [ {"code": "serviceA", "label": "new-label"}]}' 

Is any good way to know the correct url for restconf?. Maybe in cli with commit dry-run | display keypath or something like that.

I meat a PUT directly into the leaf-list and not on the service list above.

Your URL should look like:

http:/X.X.X.X:YYY/restconf/data/services/myservice=serviceA/label

And the encoding something like:

{"lable": [123, 0]}

Thats works,

Thank you!
