## Partial updates with `PATCH`

You can also use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/PATCH" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTP `PATCH`</a> operation to *partially* update data.

This means that you can send only the data that you want to update, leaving the rest intact.

/// note

`PATCH` is less commonly used and known than `PUT`.

      method == "POST" || method == "PATCH" || method == "PUT" ||
        method == "DELETE" || method == "MOVE"

  fun requiresRequestBody(method: String): Boolean =

FastAPI folgt auch der Konvention, dass jede „PATCH“-Versionsänderung für Bugfixes und abwärtskompatible Änderungen gedacht ist.

/// tip | "Tipp"

Der „PATCH“ ist die letzte Zahl, zum Beispiel ist in `0.2.3` die PATCH-Version `3`.

///

Sie sollten also in der Lage sein, eine Version wie folgt anzupinnen:

```txt
fastapi>=0.45.0,<0.46.0

des changements non rétrocompatibles.

FastAPI suit également la convention que tout changement de version "PATCH" est pour des corrections de bogues et
des changements rétrocompatibles.

/// tip | "Astuce"

Le "PATCH" est le dernier chiffre, par exemple, dans `0.2.3`, la version PATCH est `3`.

///

Donc, vous devriez être capable d'épingler une version comme suit :

```txt
fastapi>=0.45.0,<0.46.0
