Hi there,
so again I am continuing exploring Redwood and it looks nice but I still have some concerns and questions about “correct” way of doing things.
I am currently trying to reuse as much from RW as possible hence I am modifying scaffolds as simple admin CRUD panel.
When creating scaffold for any Model the New[Model] is created as component opposed to Edit[Model] which is a Cell.
Since I have related fields that are required in New[Model] I created a cell sine that is RW way for data fetching (as stated by the tutorial)
Then I pass the data from Success to New[Model] component (that I modified to accept data as props).
All works as expected and there was no need to update anything else (like types etc.) but I want to make sure if this is a correct way of doing things or should it be done differently?
In the end code looks somewhat like:
Code below shows only the ‘diff’ for mentioned files from generated by RedwoodJS
Changes in New[Model].tsx component to accept relatedData as props so it’s available when creating New element.
...
const NewModel = ({ relatedData }) => {
...
return (
...
<ModelForm
onSave={onSave}
relatedData={relatedData}
loading={loading}
error={error}
/>
...
}
Changes to NewModelCell:
export const QUERY = gql`
query FindAllRelatedData {
relatedData{
id
title
}
}
...
export const Success = ({
relatedData,
}:
...
return <NewModel relatedData={relatedData} />;
};
`;
And finally the Page needed to be changed to use NewModelCell instead of NewModel:
import NewModelCell from 'src/components/Admin/Model/NewModelCell';
const NewModelPage= () => {
return <NewModelCell />;
};
export default NewModelPage;
In the end the question is: Is this correct approach or should I do this differently?
PS. cells do not accept prefixes and error out when trying to generate the, ex. yarn rw g cell Admin/[Model]/New[Model] and need to be moved from root folder structure when created - is this a bug?
