Need help with contentLib.modify. It's not modifying

Hey,

for the first time I am trying to modify an item from outside the admin.

I am trying to post to a controller and have it modify an item in my “Store” content type.

Everything looks like it’s working, but the item isn’t modified with my data.

exports.post = req => {
    let data = JSON.parse(req.params.data);
    let result = contentLib.modify({
        key: data._id,
        editor: c => {
            editor(c, data);
        }
    });

    return	{
        body: result ? JSON.stringify({ 'status': 'success', 'result': result }) : JSON.stringify({ 'status': 'error' }),
		contentType: 'application/json'
        };
};

function editor(c, data) {
    c.data = data.data;
    log.info(JSON.stringify(c));
    return c;
}

The log.info in the editor(c, data) function logs out the item exactly as I want it, and the body then returns status = “success”, and the item without the modifications.

What am I missing? Do I need to, I don’t know, “commit” or “save” for it to actually modify the item? Or am I doing this totally wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

You are missing a return with the result of the call to editor function, in the modify lambda:

let result = contentLib.modify({
    key: data._id,
    editor: c => {
        return editor(c, data); // <---
    }
});

Yes, that was indeed true.

Thank you very much!
