Hi @MesbearizingMeat. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
You can pass additional parameters to the
edit
method of useNavigation
using the meta
prop in the <EditButton>
component. 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: /posts/:authorId/edit/:id
, the meta
prop can be used as follows:
In this example, authorId
is an additional parameter being passed to the edit
method.
For more information, refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/edit-button#meta).

@kapa.ai when I try that, it doesn't seem to actually add anything to the query string of the url. Is there a way to append the additional parameter to the query string so that it can then be fetched with useParsed()?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Currently, the
meta
prop in the <EditButton>
component is used to pass additional parameters to the edit
method of useNavigation
, but it doesn't append these parameters to the query string of the URL.
However, there's a workaround suggested in a Github issue (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5113) where you can swizzle the button and utilize the useGo
hook. The useGo
hook supports query
parameters, which can be used to append additional parameters to the query string of the URL.
Here's the link to the useGo
hook in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useGo/).

how do I access the parameters on the details form after passing them in the <EditButton> meta prop?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To access the parameters passed in the
meta
prop of the <EditButton>
component, you can use the useParams
hook from react-router-dom
. This hook allows you to access the dynamic pieces of the URL.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
In this example, authorId
is the additional parameter that was passed in the meta
prop of the <EditButton>
component.
For more information, refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/hooks/use-navigation/).

@kapa.ai okay, so how would I swizzle the <EditButton> and then use the useGo to pass my parameter as a query parameter?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To swizzle the
<EditButton>
and use the useGo
hook to pass your parameter as a query parameter, you can follow these steps:
1. First, import the necessary hooks and components:
2. Then, create your custom EditButton
component:
In this example, myParam
is the additional query parameter that you want to pass. Replace "myValue"
with the value of your parameter.
3. Finally, use your custom MyEditButton
component in place of the <EditButton>
component.
For more information, refer to the useGo
hook in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useGo/).
