Answer 1

When retrieving a document via container.item(), the two parameters are:

• document id
• partition key

The 2nd parameter (partition key) needs to be the value of the partition key. In your example, you had the path to the partition key instead, so it's checking for a partition key value of "/id":

const item = container.item('28a31558-ff8c-40c3-a7e8-1e8904c5ff72', '/id')

This needs to be changed to:

const item = container.item('28a31558-ff8c-40c3-a7e8-1e8904c5ff72', '<partition-key-value')
