Is there any plan to allow for dynamic url creation? I realize I can use the query parameters to populate data, but I can’t then copy and apste that link to a coworker so they can just jump that that page immediately. What I would like is to go from this:
domain/app/customers?customerId=custid123to this
domain/app/customers/custid123
I’ve seen a few posts but from a couple years ago. Is this on the roadmap, or a possibility already that I just haven’t seen yet?
Hey Spencer,
You should be able to use query parameters to accomplish this as you’ve mentioned.
The page you’re on should be basing results on {{url.searchParams?.customerId}} to populate the data immediately. Additionally if there are multiple views I’d suggest adding a hash param to directly navigate to a specific view (i.e. #view=details).
One thing worth noting if you’re building a publicly facing app or handle sensitive data I’d suggest using something less descriptive and use UUIDs instead as it’s more secure i.e. ?cid=<uuid> (in addition to ensuring row-level security).

I believe @stefancvrkotic has some great suggestions above. Let us know if you run into any issues with that.
I also added you to the feature request to get what you asked into the Retool product. We had one open for the same ask.
