`<RecordRepresentation>`

Render the current record as text, leveraging the <Resource recordRepresentation> prop.

You can also use its hook version: useGetRecordRepresentation.

Usage

<RecordRepresentation> doesn’t require any argument. It reads the current record from the parent RecordContext and the current resource from the parent ResourceContext.

The component uses the useGetRecordRepresentation hook and the same rules are therefore applied.

// in src/posts/PostBreadcrumbs.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { Breadcrumbs, Typography } from '@mui/material';
import { Link, RecordRepresentation } from 'react-admin';

export const PostBreadcrumbs = () => {
    return (
        <div role="presentation">
            <Breadcrumbs aria-label="breadcrumb">
                <Link underline="hover" color="inherit" to="/">
                    Home
                </Link>
                <Link underline="hover" color="inherit" to="/posts">
                    Posts
                </Link>
                <Typography sx={{ color: "text.primary" }}>
                    <RecordRepresentation />
                </Typography>
            </Breadcrumbs>
        </div>
    );
}

// in src/posts/PostEdit.tsx
import { EditBase, EditView, SimpleForm, TextInput } from 'react-admin';
import { PostBreadcrumbs } from './PostBreadcrumbs';

    <EditBase>
        <PostBreadcrumbs />
        <EditView>
            <SimpleForm>
                <TextInput source="title" />
            </SimpleForm>
        </EditView>
    </EditBase>
)
