Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: ListRenderer & App Framework
What is the ListRenderer feature in Hygraph's App Framework?
The ListRenderer is a feature in Hygraph's App Framework that allows fields within an app to store and display multiple values, similar to default Hygraph fields. By enabling ListRenderer, developers can configure custom field extensions to handle arrays of values, supporting use cases where multiple entries are required for a single field. Note: ListRenderer requires explicit configuration in the app registration process and may not be suitable for fields that only require single values.
How do I enable custom list rendering in my Hygraph app?
To enable custom list rendering, add ListRenderer to the features field in the Elements tab during the app registration process. This configuration allows your extension to handle arrays of values. For more details, refer to the official Hygraph documentation. Note: Proper handling of array values in your extension code is required for correct operation.
How can I check if a field in my extension is configured for multiple values?
You can check if the current extension instance is a multiple-value field by using the field.isList boolean in your extension code. If isList is true, your handler should process the value as an array. Note: If isList is false, the field only supports a single value.
Where can I find code examples for implementing ListRenderer in Hygraph?
The Hygraph documentation provides code examples for both Native JavaScript and React implementations of ListRenderer. These examples demonstrate how to handle array values, insert new values, and manage field changes. For detailed code samples, visit the ListRenderer documentation page. Note: Always test your implementation to ensure compatibility with your app's requirements.
