useGetOne

This hook calls dataProvider.getOne() when the component mounts. It queries the data provider for a single record, based on its id.

Syntax

const { data, isLoading, error, refetch } = useGetOne(
    resource,
    { id, meta },
    options
);

The meta argument is optional. It can be anything you want to pass to the data provider, e.g. a list of fields to show in the result.

The options parameter is optional, and is passed to react-query’s useQuery hook. It may contain the following options:

• cacheTime
• enabled
• initialData
• initialDataUpdatedAt
• isDataEqual
• keepPreviousData
• meta
• notifyOnChangeProps
• notifyOnChangePropsExclusions
• onError
• onSettled
• onSuccess
• placeholderData
• queryKeyHashFn
• refetchInterval
• refetchIntervalInBackground
• refetchOnMount
• refetchOnReconnect
• refetchOnWindowFocus
• retry
• retryOnMount
• retryDelay
• select
• staleTime
• structuralSharing
• suspense
• useErrorBoundary

Check react-query’s useQuery hook documentation for details on each of these options.

The react-query query key for this hook is [resource, 'getOne', { id: String(id), meta }].

Usage

Call useGetOne in a component to query the data provider for a single record, based on its id.

import { useGetOne, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';

const UserProfile = () => {
    const record = useRecordContext();
    const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useGetOne('users', { id: record.userId });
    if (isLoading) { return <Loading />; }
    if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
    return <div>User {user.username}</div>;
};

Aggregating getOne Calls

If you use useGetOne several times on a page for the same resource, replace the useGetOne call by useGetManyAggregate, as it de-duplicates and aggregates queries for a single record into one batch query for many records.

-import { useGetOne, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';
+import { useGetManyAggregate, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';

const UserProfile = () => {
    const record = useRecordContext();
-   const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useGetOne('users', { id: record.userId });
+   const { data: users, isLoading, error } = useGetManyAggregate('users', { ids: [record.userId] });
    if (isLoading) { return <Loading />; }
    if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
-   return <div>User {user.username}</div>;
+   return <div>User {users[0].username}</div>;
};

This results in less calls to the dataProvider. For instance, if the <UserProfile> component above is rendered in a <Datagrid>, it will only make one call to dataProvider.getMany() for the entire list instead of one call to dataProvider.getOne() per row.

As useGetManyAggregate is often used to fetch references, react-admin exposes a useReference hook, which avoids doing the array conversion manually. It’s an application hook rather than a data provider hook, so its syntax is a bit different. Prefer useReference to useGetManyAggregate when you use useGetOne to fetch a reference.

-import { useGetOne, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';
+import { useReference, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';

const UserProfile = () => {
    const record = useRecordContext();
-   const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useGetOne('users', { id: record.userId });
+   const { referenceRecord: user, isLoading, error } = useReference({ reference: 'users', id: record.userId });
    if (isLoading) { return <Loading />; }
    if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
    return <div>User {data.username}</div>;
};

Live Updates

If you want to subscribe to live updates on the record (topic: resource/[resource]/[id]), use the useGetOneLive hook instead.

-import { useGetOne, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';
+import { useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';
+import { useGetOneLive } from '@react-admin/ra-realtime';

const UserProfile = () => {
    const record = useRecordContext();
-   const { data, isLoading, error } = useGetOne('users', { id: record.userId });
+   const { data, isLoading, error } = useGetOneLive('users', { id: record.userId });
    if (isLoading) {
        return <Loading />;
    }
    if (error) {
        return <p>ERROR</p>;
    }
    return <div>User {data.username}</div>;
};

TypeScript

The useGetOne hook accepts a generic parameter for the record type:

import { useGetOne, useRecordContext } from 'react-admin';

type Ticket = {
    id: number;
    userId: string;
    message: string;
};

type User = {
    id: number;
    username: string;
}

const UserProfile = () => {
    const ticket = useRecordContext<Ticket>();
    const { data: user, isLoading, error } = useGetOne<User>('users', { id: ticket.userId });
    if (isLoading) { return <Loading />; }
    if (error) { return <p>ERROR</p>; }
    // TypeScript knows that user is of type User
    return <div>User {user.username}</div>;
};
