In Typesense, does the

.update()

method perform a partial update like MongoDB's

$set

, or does it replace the entire document? What precautions should developers take when updating documents in Typesense?

The Typesense API supports 3 types of updates via the

action

parameter. Please check the action modes documented here: https://typesense.org/docs/28.0/api/documents.html#action-modes-create-upsert-update-emplace Specifically, the

update

action mode can be used for sending a partial document consisting of only fields that you wish to update.
