Corrections and deletes

How to change what the journal holds without leaving duplicates.

Replace by id

• To change an entry, call log_food with its id and the full new state.
• Keep itemId on the items that stay. Items without itemId are new. Stored items missing from the list are removed.
• An omitted time is cleared. date and timeZone default to the stored ones.
• save_food and log_weight replace by id the same way.
• Use a new requestId for a correction. Reuse a requestId only to retry the same call.

Common corrections

• "Actually it was a medium latte" replaces that one item and keeps the other items with their itemId.
• "Those are not nuggets, that is a McChicken" replaces the wrong item.
• "No, it was all yesterday" moves the entries you just logged. Replace each one by id with the new date.
• "Did you log the chips?" asks you to check. Read the journal and answer from what it returns.

Deletes

• To remove one item, send the entry with the remaining items.
• To remove a whole entry, call delete with its entry_… id.
• "Remove the jerky, also add 20g soy sauce" is one delete and one log_food.
