Occassionally, you may need to update the details of a subproject using the Subproject API. This guide will walk you through how to update all details of your previously created subproject.

Set up your Node.js application

1. Once you setup your free Sinch account, create a new node app with npm.

   npm init

2. Accept the defaults for the application.

3. Add the fetch package with npm to generate the necessary dependencies.

   npm install node-fetch

4. Create a new file named index.mjs in the project and paste the provided code into the file.

import fetch from 'node-fetch';

const subprojectId = 'YOUR_subprojectId'; // The subproject ID you want to update
const displayName = 'Updated Display Name'; // New display name for the subproject
const labels = {
  'region': 'US-West',
  'department': 'Engineering'
};

const keyId = 'YOUR_Key_ID'; // Your Key ID from Sinch Build Dashboard
const keySecret = 'YOUR_Key_Secret'; // Your Key Secret from Sinch Build Dashboard

const updateData = {
  displayName: displayName,
  labels: labels
};

async function updateSubproject() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://subproject.api.sinch.com/v1alpha1/subprojects/${subprojectId}`,
      {
        method: 'PATCH',
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${keyId}:${keySecret}`).toString('base64')}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(updateData)
      }
    );

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const data = await response.json();
    console.log('Subproject updated successfully:', data);
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error updating subproject:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Execute the function
updateSubproject();
