## Nested records {#nested-records}
|
|
|
|
Providers can be nested. Fields inside the inner provider read the local record, and the outer record becomes active again outside that boundary.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<RecordProvider value={order}>
|
|
<OrderNumber />
|
|
|
|
<RecordProvider value={order.customer}>
|
|
<CustomerName />
|
|
</RecordProvider>
|
|
</RecordProvider>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not use record context as a mutable store. Pass a new record reference when new data arrives, and keep editable values in a form or another state layer.
|
|
|
|
## Optional provider {#optional-provider}
|
|
|
|
`OptionalRecordProvider` creates a new boundary only when `value` is neither `undefined` nor `null`. A nullish value preserves the nearest parent record, while `0`, `false`, and an empty string still create a new boundary. This is useful for components that accept a prop but can also compose into an existing record view.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function ProductCard({ product }: { product?: Product }) {
|
|
return (
|
|
<OptionalRecordProvider value={product}>
|
|
<ProductTitle />
|
|
<ProductPrice />
|
|
</OptionalRecordProvider>
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Stable identity {#stable-keys}
|
|
|
|
`RecordsIterator` uses string, number, and bigint records directly as keys. For object records it reads `id` by default. Other values and objects without an `id` can provide a `recordKey` callback; objects can also provide a field name. It falls back to the array index only when no valid key is available.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
<RecordsIterator
|
|
data={locales}
|
|
iterator={(locale) => <LocaleRow />}
|
|
recordKey="code"
|
|
/>
|
|
|
|
<RecordsIterator
|
|
data={revisions}
|
|
recordKey={(revision) => `${revision.documentId}:${revision.version}`}
|
|
>
|
|
<RevisionRow />
|
|
</RecordsIterator>
|
|
```
