# Method name: updateVariant(_id: string, variant: UpdateVariant, options: UpdateVariantOptions)

# Method package: wixRestaurantsV2

# Method menu location: wixRestaurantsV2 --> itemVariants --> updateVariant

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-restaurants-v2/menus/item-variants/update-variant.md

# Method Description:

> **Note:** The Item Variants API only works with the Wix Restaurants Menus (New) app. Make sure you have installed this app from the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market/wix-restaurants-menus-new).

Updates an item variant.

To update multiple item variants at once, use [Bulk Update Variants](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/restaurants/menus/item-variant/bulk-update-variants.md).

Each time an item variant is updated, its revision increments by 1. The existing revision must be included when updating the variant. This ensures you're working with the latest variant information, and it prevents unintended overwrites.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## updateVariant example for dashboard page code

```javascript
import { itemVariants } from 'wix-restaurants.v2';

async function updateVariant(id, variant, options) {
  try {
    const result = await itemVariants.updateVariant(id, variant, options);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

```

## updateVariant example for exporting from backend code

```javascript
import { itemVariants } from 'wix-restaurants.v2';
import { webMethod, Permissions } from 'wix-web-module';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

const elevatedUpdateVariant = elevate(itemVariants.updateVariant);

export const updateVariant = webMethod(
  Permissions.Anyone,
  async (id, variant, options) => {
    try {
      const result = await elevatedUpdateVariant(id, variant, options);
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      // Handle the error
    }
  }
);

```
