I would like to be able to set my urlparams.myValue from a js query.
urlparams.myValue = 'Hello World!'
seems to have no effect.
urlparams.myValue.setValue()
is not a function.
My use case is I pass an invoiceId to an app to filter (on the server) that invoices in tblInvoices. But I need to remove the invoiceId urlparam to I can properly reset the filter.
Hi Bradly! You can set a URL parameter to a JS expression ( {{ ... }}
) in the URL Parameters modal, accessed via the "..." menu in the header. It looks like we don't currently have an API for setting a param in a JS query, but you can use temporary state as a workaround:
- Click "Create new" under "Temporary state" in the left panel to create a new variable
- Set a URL parameter to the temporary state in "URL parameters" modal (
{{ exampleState.value }}
)
- Set the temporary state value in your JS query (
exampleState.setValue(...)
)
Getting a response from the system itself - I am honored!
Got it working, but its a bit finicky as to exactly how to configure it. First let me note that I changed passing query params to passing hash - I will make another post asking for clarifications there.
I am passing in the hash param from another app so my URL is something like:
https://myaccount.retool.com/editor/AccountingPagev2#invoice_id=210703MARC-1
Set a temp var:
Then set that to your URLParams. You need to set up a two way connection so fill out both sections:
Then you can read the value either using invoice_id.value
or urlparams.hash.invoice_id
. You set the value using invoice_id.setValue()
.
Hi Bradly! Yes, you want to be using the hash
value as opposed to the query params
. It looks like you've configured it roughly correctly.
Once you get around to posting some of your clarifying questions I'd be happy to take a second look!
