Pass ID to Nested 'Create' Button
Hi,
I have a page
/location/show/:id
that has a separate products
table. I'd like to pass the location id to the product
table's <Create> button for use in its form. Is there a simple way for me to do so?15 Replies
Hi @avangeous. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, you can achieve this by using the
meta
prop of the related hooks and components in refine. The meta
prop can be used to pass additional parameters when navigating to the pages.
Here's a general idea of how you can do it:
1. In your location
page, you can use the useTable
hook to manage your table. This hook provides a record
prop that contains the details of the current record in the table. You can pass the id
of the current location to the recordItemId
prop of the <EditButton>
component. This way, the button will only redirect us to the edit page of the record being clicked on.
2. In your product
form, you can retrieve the id
of the location from the route parameters and use it in your form. You can use the useParams
hook from your router to get the route parameters.
Please note that the actual implementation may vary depending on your application structure and the router you are using.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- React CRUD app with Dynamic Form Ant Design (https://refine.dev/blog/react-crud-app-with-dynamic-form-ant-design)
- React Router v6 (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/react-router-v6)
- Next.js (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs)

@kapa.ai how can i pass the id to the create button?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You can pass the
id
to the <CreateButton>
by using the meta
prop. The meta
prop can be used to pass additional parameters when navigating to the pages.
Here's an example of how you can do it:
In the above code, record.id
is the id
of the location that you want to pass to the create page.
Then, in your create page, you can retrieve the locationId
from the meta
prop of the useNavigation
hook:
In the above code, locationId
will be the id
of the location that you passed from the <CreateButton>
.
Please note that the actual implementation may vary depending on your application structure.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- CreateButton (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/create-button)
- useNavigation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/)

@kapa.ai It's telling me that
Property 'meta' does not exist on type '{ create: (resource: string | IResourceItem, type?: HistoryType | undefined, meta?: MetaDataQuery | undefined) => void; createUrl: (resource: string | IResourceItem, meta?: MetaDataQuery | undefined) => string; ... 10 more ...; goBack: () => void; }'.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. The
meta
prop is not directly available on the useNavigation
hook. Instead, it's used as a parameter in the methods provided by useNavigation
.
For instance, if you're using the create
method of useNavigation
, you can pass the meta
prop as follows:
In the context of a CreateButton
, you can pass the meta
prop like this:
Then, in your create page, you can retrieve the locationId
from the route parameters. If you're using react-router-dom
, you can use the useParams
hook:
Please note that the actual implementation may vary depending on your application structure and the router you are using.

- CreateButton (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/create-button)
- useNavigation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/)
- useParams (https://reactrouter.com/web/api/Hooks/useparams) from react-router-dom
documentation.

@kapa.ai I've done
and
but its giving me undefined. The url also does not have the parameter in it.

I apologize for the confusion. The
meta
prop in the CreateButton
component is used to pass additional parameters to the create
method of useNavigation
. However, these parameters are not automatically appended to the URL or the route parameters.
If you want to pass the locationId
to the create page and retrieve it there, you might need to adjust your routing setup to include this parameter in the URL. For example, you could define your create route like this: /items/create/:locationId
.
Then, when you use the CreateButton
, you can pass the locationId
in the meta
prop:
And in your create page, you can retrieve the locationId
from the route parameters:

- CreateButton (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/create-button)
- useNavigation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/)
- useParams (https://reactrouter.com/web/api/Hooks/useparams) from react-router-dom
documentation.

@kapa.ai How can I access the id in the url
/items/create/:id
for [id].tsx
? useParams isn't working.Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If you're using Next.js, you can access the
id
parameter from the URL using the useRouter
hook instead of useParams
. Here's how you can do it:
In the above code, id
will be the id
from the URL /items/create/:id
.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on useRouter (https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/router#userouter).

Solved this
1. Use
/items/create/:id
as the create route in app.tsx
2. Make sure your create page is titled [id].tsx
3.
