Partial updates

[bleonard]

say i know the primary key - is there a way to update just a few of the properties?
right now it all goes through create (with the true flag) and it crashes if all the properties are not set.

It should allow you to do a partial update for objects that have already been created. For new objects it should require all objects until we add support for default values. Will do some additional testing to see if I am missing something.

I've added more extensive testing and haven't yet run into issues with partial updating: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/tests/RealmTests.js#L117

My guess would be that you are not providing all values when creating an object for the first time which will definitely throw. I'll add support for default values next which should allow you to avoid the issue.

hmmm, ok. i'll let you know if you if see it agian.

Default values should now work in case it helps: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/tests/TestObjects.js#L91
