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?

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.

<Table.Column
  title="Edit"
  dataIndex="edit"
  render={(value, record) => (
    <EditButton recordItemId={record.id} />
  )}
/>

<Table.Column
  title="Edit"
  dataIndex="edit"
  render={(value, record) => (
    <EditButton recordItemId={record.id} />
  )}
/>

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.

import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';

const ProductCreate = () => {
  const { id: locationId } = useParams();

  // use locationId in your form
};

import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';

const ProductCreate = () => {
  const { id: locationId } = useParams();

  // use locationId in your form
};

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) - Remix (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/remix) ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how can i pass the id to the create button?

kapa.ai•16mo ago

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:

<CreateButton meta={{ locationId: record.id }} />

<CreateButton meta={{ locationId: record.id }} />

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:

import { useNavigation } from "@refinedev/core";

const { meta } = useNavigation();
const locationId = meta.locationId;

import { useNavigation } from "@refinedev/core";

const { meta } = useNavigation();
const locationId = meta.locationId;

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/) ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@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:

const { create } = useNavigation();
create("resourceName", "push", { locationId: "yourLocationId" });

const { create } = useNavigation();
create("resourceName", "push", { locationId: "yourLocationId" });

In the context of a CreateButton, you can pass the meta prop like this:

<CreateButton meta={{ locationId: record.id }} />

<CreateButton meta={{ locationId: record.id }} />

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:

import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';

const ProductCreate = () => {
  const { locationId } = useParams();

  // use locationId in your form
};

import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';

const ProductCreate = () => {
  const { locationId } = useParams();

  // use locationId in your form
};

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: - 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. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I've done

<CreateButton resource="items" meta={{locationId: "1"}} />

<CreateButton resource="items" meta={{locationId: "1"}} />

and

const { locationId } = useParams();

console.log(locationId)

const { locationId } = useParams();

console.log(locationId)

but its giving me undefined. The url also does not have the parameter in it.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- 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:

<CreateButton resource="items" meta={{ locationId: "1" }} />

<CreateButton resource="items" meta={{ locationId: "1" }} />

And in your create page, you can retrieve the locationId from the route parameters:

const { locationId } = useParams();
console.log(locationId);

const { locationId } = useParams();
console.log(locationId);

Please note that the actual implementation may vary depending on your application structure and the router you are using.

@kapa.ai How can I access the id in the url /items/create/:id for [id].tsx? useParams isn't working.

kapa.ai•16mo ago

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:

import { useRouter } from 'next/router';

const CreateItem = () => {
  const router = useRouter();
  const { id } = router.query;

  console.log(id);

  // rest of your component
};

import { useRouter } from 'next/router';

const CreateItem = () => {
  const router = useRouter();
  const { id } = router.query;

  console.log(id);

  // rest of your component
};

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). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

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.

 const router = useRouter();
    const { id } = router.query;

 const router = useRouter();
    const { id } = router.query;
