## PUT requests

To create or update a item via the API endpoint:

```ts
import { put } from 'aws-amplify/api';

async function updateItems() {
  try {
    const Item = { name: 'My first Item', message: 'Hello world!' };
    const restOperation = put({
      apiName: 'myRestApi',
      path: 'items/1',
      options: {
        body: Item
      },
    });
    const response = await restOperation.response;
    console.log('PUT call succeeded: ', response);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('PUT call failed: ', JSON.parse(error.response.body));
  }
}
```
