Update nested fields in Deta Base

[harshitsinghai77]

Hey,

Let's say I have a nested dict

user = { userInfo: {...}, settings: {timer: 3600, ...} }

If I need only to update fields inside settings like timer, what's the best way to go about this?

I tried,

async_db.update(updated_setting, key=google_id)

But it adds new fields to the user dict like

user = { userInfo: {...}, settings: {...}, timer: 3600 }

which is wrong.

Do I need to first get the object, then align the settings correctly and then call update?

Nevermind.

I did something like

updated_setting = {f"settings.{k}": v for k, v in updated_setting.items()}
