useSoftDeleteWithUndoController

This hook prepares a callback for a soft-delete button with undo support. It calls dataProvider.softDelete() in undoable mutation mode, shows a notification, and unselects the record.

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
import * as React from 'react';
import { useRecordContext } from 'ra-core';
import { useSoftDeleteWithUndoController } from '@react-admin/ra-core-ee';
const SoftDeleteWithUndoButton = props => {
const record = useRecordContext(props);
const { isPending, handleSoftDelete } = useSoftDeleteWithUndoController({
record,
});
if (!record) return null;
return (
<button type="button" onClick={handleSoftDelete} disabled={isPending}>
Archive
</button>
);
};

The hook expects an object parameter with the following properties:

  • record: The record to soft-delete. Required when handleSoftDelete is called.
  • resource: The resource name. Defaults to useResourceContext() when omitted.
  • authorId: The identifier of the user who performs the action.
  • mutationOptions: react-query mutation options (supports meta).
  • successMessage: A custom notification message key.
  • onClick: A callback called after the mutation is triggered.

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

useSoftDeleteWithUndoController<Product, Error>({
record,
mutationOptions: {
onError: error => {
// TypeScript knows that error is of type Error
},
},
});
