Customizing routes

When the standard edit & create routes doesn't fit the needs of your record models, it is possible to customize route patterns as described here.

Customizing this is especially useful, if you want to share a single form template (and React application) across multiple types of records. In that case, your record routes would need to look more like /records/<record_type>/<pid_value>/edit rather than just /records/<pid_value>/edit.

UI Resource config

Update routes in your UI ResourceConfig class to match the desired route pattern, e.g.:

class MyUIResourceConfig(RecordsUIResourceConfig):
    url_prefix = '/myrecords/'
    routes = {
        "create": "/<record_type>/custom/_new",
        "edit": "/<record_type>/custom/<pid_value>/edit",
    }

Here we introduced a new URL parameter record_type to the route pattern. If similar API routes (/api/myrecords/<record_type>...) is used for myrecords model, we need to make some further adjustments using form config service components (see Customizing form config).
