Spring JPARepository Update a field - spring

Question

I have a simple Model in Java called Member with fields - ID (Primary Key), Name (String), Position (String)
I want to expose an POST endpoint to update fields of a member. This method can accept payload like this
{ "id":1,"name":"Prateek"}
or
{ "id":1,"position":"Head of HR"}
and based on the payload received, I update only that particular field. How can I achieve that with JPARepository?
My repository interface is basic -
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
#Repository("memberRepository")
public interface MemberRepository extends JpaRepository<Member, Integer>{
}
My Member model -
#Entity
#Table(name="members")
public class Member {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name="member_id")
private Integer id;
#Column(name="member_name")
#NotNull
private String name;
#Column(name="member_joining_date")
#NotNull
private Date joiningDate = new Date();
#Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
#Column(name="member_type",columnDefinition="varchar(255) default 'ORDINARY_MEMBER'")
private MemberType memberType = MemberType.ORDINARY_MEMBER;
public Member(Integer id, String name, Date joiningDate) {
super();
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.joiningDate = joiningDate;
this.memberType = MemberType.ORDINARY_MEMBER;
}
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Date getJoiningDate() {
return joiningDate;
}
public void setJoiningDate(Date joiningDate) {
this.joiningDate = joiningDate;
}
public MemberType getMemberType() {
return memberType;
}
public void setMemberType(MemberType memberType) {
this.memberType = memberType;
}
public Member(String name) {
this.memberType = MemberType.ORDINARY_MEMBER;
this.joiningDate = new Date();
this.name = name;
}
public Member() {
}
}

Answer 1

Something like this should do the trick
public class MemberService {
#Autowired
MemberRepository memberRepository;
public Member updateMember(Member memberFromRest) {
Member memberFromDb = memberRepository.findById(memberFromRest.getid());
//check if memberFromRest has name or position and update that to memberFromDb
memberRepository.save(memberFromDb);
}
}
