Get ID of current record about datocms-plugin-computed-fields HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @johannesmutter!

At the moment there is no direct way to get the id of a record.

There is, however, a work around. Since you can run any code in this plugin you could for now handle this by using this (which would be the window) and initiate a plugin inside the plugin. You will get all plugin options and methods and thus it will give you access to plugin.itemId.

let recordId
await this.DatoCmsPlugin.init((plugin) => {
  recordId = plugin.itemId
})

return `${title ? title : 'untitled'} ${recordId}`

All options and methods you get returned are listed here: https://www.datocms.com/docs/building-plugins/sdk-reference
I hope this helps you!

When updating to version 2.0 of the computed fields plugin this won't work anymore. In version 2.0 there will be a datoCmsPlugin variable.

datoCmsPlugin will return the whole plugin context. In the documentation you can see what properties and methods are exposed. The datoCmsPlugin variable is ctx of a field extension with the declared type: RenderFieldExtensionCtx.

You can do

return datoCmsPlugin.itemId

or in the example of this issue

const recordId = datoCmsPlugin.itemId
return `${title ? title : 'untitled'} ${recordId}`
