Update element

[mostafa.elayoubi.ds]

Hi there ! 

I'm looking for a way to update an element in the proposal by its urn or id but can't seem to find it. 

I see there is a way to update library items, but not the elements created via Forma.integrateElements.createElementHierarchy . 

Thank you for your attention!

Okay I think i figured out a way. 

I use addElement and store the path, then I use replaceElement . Is this the best way to do it? 

Thanks!

Hi @mostafa.elayoubi.ds ! Sorry for the late reply, but looks like you found the solution already!

Here is a code example:

const urn = mockRegisterElementInSystem() // See e.g. integrate-elements module
const { path } = await Forma.proposal.addElement({ urn })
const newUrn = mockRegisterElementInSystem() // See e.g. integrate-elements module
await Forma.proposal.replaceElement({ path, newUrn })

The code example is also available in the SDK documentation here.

Best, Vilde in the Forma team
