useHardDelete

This hook allows calling dataProvider.hardDelete() when the callback is executed and deleting a single deleted record based on its id.

Warning: The id here is the ID of the deleted record, and not the ID of the actual record that has been deleted.

const [hardDeleteOne, { data, isPending, error }] = useHardDelete(
{ id, previousData, meta },
options,
);

The hardDeleteOne() method can be called with the same parameters as the hook:

const [hardDeleteOne, { data, isPending, error }] = useHardDelete();
// ...
hardDeleteOne(
{ id, previousData, meta },
options,
);

So, should you pass the parameters when calling the hook, or when executing the callback? It’s up to you; but if you have the choice, we recommend passing the parameters when calling the hardDeleteOne callback (second example).

This feature requires a valid Enterprise Edition subscription.

Terminal window
npm install --save @react-admin/ra-core-ee
# or
yarn add @react-admin/ra-core-ee
// set params when calling the hook
import { useRecordContext } from 'ra-core';
import { useHardDelete } from '@react-admin/ra-core-ee';
const HardDeleteButton = () => {
const deletedRecord = useRecordContext();
const [hardDeleteOne, { isPending, error }] = useHardDelete(
{ id: deletedRecord.id, previousData: record }
);
const handleClick = () => {
hardDeleteOne();
}
if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
return <button disabled={isPending} onClick={handleClick}>Delete</button>;
};
// set params when calling the hardDeleteOne callback
import { useRecordContext } from 'ra-core';
import { useHardDelete } from '@react-admin/ra-core-ee';
const HardDeleteButton = () => {
const deletedRecord = useRecordContext();
const [hardDeleteOne, { isPending, error }] = useHardDelete();
const handleClick = () => {
hardDeleteOne(
{ id: deletedRecord.id, previousData: record }
);
}
if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
return <button disabled={isPending} onClick={handleClick}>Delete</button>;
};

The useHardDelete hook accepts a generic parameter for the record type and another for the error type:

useHardDelete<Product, Error>(undefined, undefined, {
onError: (error) => {
// TypeScript knows that error is of type Error
},
onSettled: (data, error) => {
// TypeScript knows that data is of type DeletedRecordType<Product>
// TypeScript knows that error is of type Error
},
});
