PATCH support…finally.

I added PATCH support to the Costs to Expect API in November. At the time I did the minimum, I only added PATCH support for items as that was the only data we needed to edit.

In March, I reviewed the PATCH code, making a few minor alterations.

It is now time to add PATCH support to the rest of the API. PATCH support will be added for resource types, resources, categories, subcategories and category assignments for items.

When I reviewed the PATCH code in March, I was looking at a single instance. This time I need to implement PATCH support across multiple routes; we will see how many changes I make in attempting to make the code DRY.

I have six tickets in my tracker, one for each route plus one additional chore for minor refactoring. If everything goes well, I should have a release ready in a few days, and I shouldn’t have created any extra refactoring chores.
