useRemoteRowId

The useRemoteRowId hook gets the remote Row Id for a given local Row in a Relationship, and registers a listener so that any changes to that result will cause a re-render.

useRemoteRowId(
  relationshipId: string,
  localRowId: string,
  relationshipsOrRelationshipsId?: RelationshipsOrRelationshipsId,
): Id | undefined
TypeDescription
relationshipIdstring

The Id of the Relationship.

localRowIdstring

The Id of the local Row in the Relationship.

relationshipsOrRelationshipsId?RelationshipsOrRelationshipsId

The Relationships object to be accessed: omit for the default context Relationships object, provide an Id for a named context Relationships object, or provide an explicit reference.

returnsId | undefined

The remote Row Id in the Relationship, or undefined.

A Provider component is used to wrap part of an application in a context, and it can contain a default Relationships object or a set of Relationships objects named by Id. The useRemoteRowId hook lets you indicate which Relationships object to get data for: omit the optional final parameter for the default context Relationships object, provide an Id for a named context Relationships object, or provide a Relationships object explicitly by reference.

When first rendered, this hook will create a listener so that changes to the remote Row Id will cause a re-render. When the component containing this hook is unmounted, the listener will be automatically removed.

Examples

This example creates a Relationships object outside the application, which is used in the useRemoteRowId hook by reference. A change to the remote Row Id re-renders the component.

import {createRelationships, createStore} from 'tinybase';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';
import {useRemoteRowId} from 'tinybase/ui-react';

const store = createStore()
  .setTable('pets', {fido: {species: 'dog'}, cujo: {species: 'dog'}})
  .setTable('species', {wolf: {price: 10}, dog: {price: 5}});
const relationships = createRelationships(store).setRelationshipDefinition(
  'petSpecies',
  'pets',
  'species',
  'species',
);
const App = () => (
  <span>{useRemoteRowId('petSpecies', 'cujo', relationships)}</span>
);

const app = document.createElement('div');
createRoot(app).render(<App />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>dog</span>'

store.setCell('pets', 'cujo', 'species', 'wolf');
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>wolf</span>'

This example creates a Provider context into which a default Relationships object is provided. A component within it then uses the useRemoteRowId hook.

import {Provider, useRemoteRowId} from 'tinybase/ui-react';
import {createRelationships, createStore} from 'tinybase';
import React from 'react';
import {createRoot} from 'react-dom/client';

const App = ({relationships}) => (
  <Provider relationships={relationships}>
    <Pane />
  </Provider>
);
const Pane = () => <span>{useRemoteRowId('petSpecies', 'cujo')}</span>;

const relationships = createRelationships(
  createStore()
    .setTable('pets', {fido: {species: 'dog'}, cujo: {species: 'dog'}})
    .setTable('species', {wolf: {price: 10}, dog: {price: 5}}),
).setRelationshipDefinition('petSpecies', 'pets', 'species', 'species');

const app = document.createElement('div');
const root = createRoot(app);
root.render(<App relationships={relationships} />);
console.log(app.innerHTML);
// -> '<span>dog</span>'
