EditButton redirect

Clicking the edit button redirects me to scenarios/edit/:id, but I would like to also pass it a prop that the component at scenarios/edit/:id can access. Is this possible.

Hi @.chasel. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to pass additional parameters to the edit method of useNavigation using the meta prop. By default, existing parameters in the route are used by the edit method. You can pass additional parameters or override the existing ones using the meta prop. For example, if the edit action route is defined by the pattern: /scenarios/:authorId/edit/:id, the meta prop can be used as follows:

const MyComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <EditButton meta={{ authorId: "10" }} />  
 );  
};

const MyComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <EditButton meta={{ authorId: "10" }} />  
 );  
};

In this example, authorId is an additional parameter that is passed to the edit method. When you click the EditButton, the app will redirect to the edit action path of the resource, filling the necessary parameters in the route. For more information, you can refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/edit-button). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai The edit button redirects me like an anchor tag. I don't want to affect the url it sends me to I just want to pass props to the element. For example when I click my EditButton I get redirected to my EditScenario element. I would like to access a props?.course_id element inside there.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The EditButton in Refine doesn't directly support passing props to the component it redirects to. It primarily works with the routing system, and any data you want to pass around would typically be included in the URL as parameters. However, you can use a state management solution to share data between components. For example, you could use React's Context API, Redux, or any other state management library to store the course_id when the EditButton is clicked, and then retrieve it in your EditScenario component. Here's a basic example using React's Context API:

import React, { createContext, useState, useContext } from 'react';
import { EditButton } from '@pankod/refine';

// Create a Context
const CourseIdContext = createContext();

// Create a Provider component
const CourseIdProvider = ({ children }) => {
  const [courseId, setCourseId] = useState(null);

  return (
    <CourseIdContext.Provider value={{ courseId, setCourseId }}>
      {children}
    </CourseIdContext.Provider>
  );
};

// Use the Provider in your app
const App = () => (
  <CourseIdProvider>
    {/* rest of your app */}
  </CourseIdProvider>
);

// In the component where you have your EditButton
const MyComponent = () => {
  const { setCourseId } = useContext(CourseIdContext);

  return (
    <EditButton
      onClick={() => {
        setCourseId('your_course_id');
        // rest of your onClick logic
      }}
    />
  );
};

// In your EditScenario component
const EditScenario = () => {
  const { courseId } = useContext(CourseIdContext);

  // Now you can use courseId in your component
};

import React, { createContext, useState, useContext } from 'react';
import { EditButton } from '@pankod/refine';

// Create a Context
const CourseIdContext = createContext();

// Create a Provider component
const CourseIdProvider = ({ children }) => {
  const [courseId, setCourseId] = useState(null);

  return (
    <CourseIdContext.Provider value={{ courseId, setCourseId }}>
      {children}
    </CourseIdContext.Provider>
  );
};

// Use the Provider in your app
const App = () => (
  <CourseIdProvider>
    {/* rest of your app */}
  </CourseIdProvider>
);

// In the component where you have your EditButton
const MyComponent = () => {
  const { setCourseId } = useContext(CourseIdContext);

  return (
    <EditButton
      onClick={() => {
        setCourseId('your_course_id');
        // rest of your onClick logic
      }}
    />
  );
};

// In your EditScenario component
const EditScenario = () => {
  const { courseId } = useContext(CourseIdContext);

  // Now you can use courseId in your component
};

Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it according to your application's structure and requirements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Inside of <Edit/> there is also a list button at the top that if clicked redirects me to my list element for that resource. Is it possible for me to use a different resource for this?

kapa.ai•13mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to customize the ListButton inside the Edit component using the headerButtons property. This property accepts a React.ReactNode or a render function, which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own. Here's an example of how you can replace the default ListButton with a custom one that uses a different resource:

import { Edit, ListButton } from "@pankod/refine";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit  
 headerButtons={({ defaultButtons, refreshButtonProps }) => (  
   <>  
     <ListButton resource="anotherResource" {...refreshButtonProps} />
     {defaultButtons.filter(button => button.type !== ListButton)}  
   </>  
 )}  
 >  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

import { Edit, ListButton } from "@pankod/refine";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit  
 headerButtons={({ defaultButtons, refreshButtonProps }) => (  
   <>  
     <ListButton resource="anotherResource" {...refreshButtonProps} />
     {defaultButtons.filter(button => button.type !== ListButton)}  
   </>  
 )}  
 >  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

In this example, the headerButtons property is used to render a custom ListButton that uses "anotherResource" instead of the default resource. The defaultButtons array is filtered to remove the original ListButton. Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it according to your application's structure and requirements. For more information, you can refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/basic-views/edit). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
