Creating a new document inside an array in Sanity.io

Hi everyone! What's the correct way to make a mutation for this type of data in my document?

This works for editing existing ones under an ID, but how do I create a new document under the same ID?

patch: {

'id': id,

"set": {

'options': [{

'_type': 'option',

'_key': key,

'title': title,

'duration': duration,

'price': price

}]

}

}

Have you had a look here? https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity/tree/next/packages/%40sanity/client#adding-elements-to-an-array

Thank you. Due to the project setup I'm not using the client at the moment, although it does make it a lot easier I think

Is there a way to achieve this without?

Perhaps this is what you want? https://www.sanity.io/docs/http-patches#insert-Q47ag9yE

Yes, with the exception that I'd like to create a new document and it seems patches are for modifying?

I have a document and inside this reference to another one:

I want to create a new item (type option) inside this document (profile). I am able to edit existing option items with the below patch query, where ID is the name of parent document (profile):

patch: {

'id': id,

"set": {

'options': [{

'_type': 'option',

'_key': key,

'title': title,

'duration': duration,

'price': price

}]

}

}

Use the create mutation instead of patch https://www.sanity.io/docs/http-mutations#create-c732f27330a4

Exactly, but the same query doesn't work with "create" instead of "patch"

Can't figure out how to write the correct query?

"mutation failed on document "...": Document does not have a type"

create: {

'id': id,

"set": {

'options': [{

'_type': 'option',

'_key': key,

'title': title,

'duration': duration,

'price': price

}]

}

}

create: {

'id': id,

"set": {

'options': [{

'_type': 'option',

'_key': key,

'title': title,

'duration': duration,

'price': price

}]

}

}

also tried without "set"

You need to provide a document type

_type: 'your-document-type'

yes - I'm sending '_type': 'option'

same as patch query

On the root document

create: {

"_id": id,
 "_type": "your-type",
  "options": [...]

}

(on mobile so excuse my brevity)

Ok, got it! That doesn't result in error but also doesn't create the option item 🤔

strange - still works with "patch" but just overrides the item every time. but doesn't do anything with "create" + document type

Right - i can see now it created the document type option separately, just not inside the parent document

the goal is to actually modify an existing document by creating a new one inside

wondering if it has to be patch + create somehow?

patch: {

'id': id,

"insert": {

"before": "options[-1]",

'items': [{

'_type': 'option',

'_key': key,

'title': title,

'duration': duration,

'price': price

}]

}

}

this is what worked
