Directus Extension Increment Values

As the name suggests a basic extension for incrementing fields in a single API call.

Tested with Directus 10.10.4

Usages

This middleware will intercept any PATCH requests to /items/:collection/:item and replace any increment(<number>) or increment(<float>) value with an incremented value in the body before handing it over to the regular directus item handler.

PATCH /items/test
{ "test_increment": "increment(2)" }

response

{ "data": { "test_increment": 42 } }

WARNING: This function is dumb! It only works on the first level of the body and does not check the field type (so if used on a string will end something like "cool string11111" if incremented 5 times)
