Updating JSON data​

Postgres offers a number of operators for working with JSON data. Right now it is only possible to update an entire JSON document, but we are working on ideas for updating individual keys.

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from('users')
  .update(`
    address: { 
      street: 'Melrose Place',
      postcode: 90210
    }
  `)
  .eq('address->postcode', 90210)
