setAgentObject()

setAgentObject([agentId,] object [, callback])

Sets (in fact, replaces) the object of an agent. What are agent objects?

— agentId `(Number)`

ID of the agent from which to get the object (optional).
By default, this is the ID of the currently running agent.

— object `(PlainObject)`

Object to save.

— callback `(Function(err))`

Function called when finished (optional).

err (String): null or a description of what went wrong if something went wrong.

❗️
Warning
It's recommended to first fetch the object with getAgentObject() (to update it) because this method overwrites the whole object.
