We can develop custom React hooks like useCustomAPIMutationHook to fine-tune the application API interactions. The custom hooks allow us to control how data is fetched and managed, aligning it perfectly with our requirements.
Configuration
This custom hook, useCustomAPIMutationHook, simplifies API calls for mutation operations in React applications using react-query. It allows parameter and body customization for requests to a specified URL, seamlessly managing loading indicators and states. This hook streamlines API interaction and state management within components.
Create useCustomAPIMutationHook under the following path:
To override the useCustomAPIMutationHook, create a new custom hook with the desired enhancements. When considering overriding useCustomAPIMutationHook, identify specific modifications required, such as adding additional parameters or altering data processing logic. Create a new custom hook, preserving the original functionality while incorporating these modifications to suit specific application needs.
We need to replace the usage of the original hook throughout the codebase with the new custom hook. This ensures that wherever the original hook is used, the modified functionality of the custom hook is applied instead.
There is a hook called useCustomMDMSV2, which is used to get data from a Multi-Domain Master Service (MDMS) API. This hook makes it easier to request data, handle load, and prepare the received data for React applications.
export const useCustomMDMSV2 = ({ tenantId, schemaCode, select, changeQueryName = "Random",filters={},config={} }) => {
const requestCriteria = {
url: "/mdms-v2/v2/_search",
body: {
tenantId,
MdmsCriteria: {
// tenantId, //changing here to send user's tenantId always whether stateId or city
tenantId: Digit.ULBService.getCurrentTenantId(),
filters: filters,
schemaCode: schemaCode,
isActive: true,
limit: 100
},
},
config: {
select: select
? select
: (response) => {
//mdms will be an array of master data
const { mdms } = response;
//first filter with isActive
//then make a data array with actual data
//refer the "code" key in data(for now) and set options array , also set i18nKey in each object to show in UI
const options = mdms?.map((row) => {
return {
i18nKey: Digit.Utils.locale.getTransformedLocale(`${row?.schemaCode}_${row?.data?.code}`),
...row.data,
};
});
return options;
},
...config
},
changeQueryName,
};
const { isLoading, data } = Digit.Hooks.useCustomAPIHook(requestCriteria);
return { isLoading, data };
};
Creating New Hook
We can also create custom hooks like useIndividualView to simplify tasks like fetching data for specific screens.
Create the hook useIndividualView under the following path:
This searchTestResultData function is used within the useIndividualView hook to fetch data related to a specific individual. It utilizes an asynchronous operation to send a request to a server endpoint, retrieves the response, and then processes the data to extract relevant details. The extracted details are then returned, providing the necessary information for rendering the individual's view within the application.
Create the Function searchTestResultData under the following path:
To register hooks in your application, they should be exported from an index.js file like this. Ensure that each custom hook is correctly exported within this file for seamless integration and usage across your application.
