Trait QBSparseUpdateable

Source

pub trait QBSparseUpdateable {
    // Required method
    fn can_sparse_update(&self) -> bool;
}

Expand description

Trait for entities that support sparse update operations.

Sparse updates allow updating only specific fields of an entity without affecting other fields. This is more efficient and safer than full updates when you only need to change specific values.

§Required Methods

can_sparse_update(): Returns true if the entity can be sparse updated

§Implementation Notes

Typically requires:

Entity can perform full updates
Entity has the sparse field set to true
QuickBooks API supports sparse updates for this entity type

§Examples

use quickbooks_types::{Customer, QBSparseUpdateable};

let mut customer = Customer::default();
customer.id = Some("123".to_string());
customer.sync_token = Some("2".to_string());
customer.display_name = Some("John Doe".to_string());
customer.sparse = Some(true);

// Check if can be sparse updated
if customer.can_sparse_update() {
    // Proceed with sparse update
}
