I'm currently working on this page of the Apollo Odyssey tutorial: https://www.apollographql.com/tutorials/lift-off-part3/the-usequery-hook---with-variables
I came to an interesting realization here: the Track
component is receiving the trackId
prop from the URL parameters, without the useParams
hook. I've never heard of that being possible, and I cannot quite conceptualize how this program is doing it. I'll provide the two relevant file's codes below, but the entire repo can be found here: https://github.com/apollographql/odyssey-lift-off-part3
How is this occurring? Is this a feature of React Router that I'm unaware of?
// track.js
import React from "react";
import { gql, useQuery } from "@apollo/client";
import { Layout, QueryResult } from "../components";
import TrackDetail from "../components/track-detail";
export const GET_TRACK = gql`
query getTrack($trackId: ID!) {
track(id: $trackId) {
id
title
author {
id
name
photo
}
thumbnail
length
modulesCount
numberOfViews
modules {
id
title
length
}
description
}
}
`;
const Track = ({ trackId }) => {
const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(GET_TRACK, {
variables: { trackId },
});
return (
<Layout>
<QueryResult error={error} loading={loading} data={data}>
<TrackDetail track={data?.track} />
</QueryResult>
</Layout>
);
};
export default Track;
// index.js
import React, { Fragment } from 'react';
import { Router } from '@reach/router';
/** importing our pages */
import Tracks from './tracks';
import Track from './track';
export default function Pages() {
return (
<Router primary={false} component={Fragment}>
<Tracks path="/" />
<Track path="/track/:trackId" />
</Router>
);
}
Ah, silly me. This project uses Reach Router
, not React Router
. Easy mistake.
