Custom component: How to pass a database record to a screen?

Get Help
1

Is there a way to pass a database record to a screen directly when using custom components?

Currently we have the following workaround in place:

  • When selecting an entry, our custom component sends the entry id as an action argument
  • We then use the “Change Input Value” action in Adalo to update a hidden text field with this entry id (using the Magic Text feature)
  • We have added a Image List component which uses this text field’s value as a filter, which will filter the list to only show this one record
  • Now if the user clicks on this record we can navigate to another screen and pass this record as data

This is quite a cumbersome workaround to have in place, and the user experience is not really great. Is there another way to select and pass a database record from within a custom component that does not involve a separate list component?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions to point us in the right direction.

Cheers,
Dominik
