add _id to as row.id for refine useShow

Hello, im having trouble trying to get data to return in the refine useShow. MongoDB returns _id as the row.id but useShow looks for "id", is there any way to let it use _id?

Hi @L33Bz. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To use a custom primary key like _id with the useShow hook in refine, you can utilize the meta property to specify the custom column name. This is particularly useful when your database, such as MongoDB, uses _id instead of id. Here's how you can configure useShow to work with a custom primary key:

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

const { queryResult: showResponse } = useShow({
  resource: "your-resource-name",
  id: "your-id-value",
  meta: {
    idColumnName: "_id",
  },
});

console.log(showResponse.data.data);

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

const { queryResult: showResponse } = useShow({
  resource: "your-resource-name",
  id: "your-id-value",
  meta: {
    idColumnName: "_id",
  },
});

console.log(showResponse.data.data);

In this example, replace "your-resource-name" with the name of your resource and "your-id-value" with the specific ID you want to fetch. The meta property with idColumnName: "_id" tells refine to use _id as the primary key when querying the database. For more information, you can refer to the documentation on using custom primary keys with Supabase (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/supabase/#idcolumnname---using-custom-primary-key), which provides a similar approach that can be adapted for other data providers like MongoDB. If you encounter any issues or need further customization, you might need to adjust your data provider configuration to ensure it correctly interprets the _id field. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

FYI. id was added to datagrid props and that worked. <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} autoHeight getRowId={(row) => row._id} />
