Page properties

Display mode

Toolpad Studio apps allow for a display mode configurable per-page.

Options

The possible options for the the display mode are:

• App shell: Pages with their display mode set to this value will render within the navigation sidebar on the left, allowing for easy navigation between all pages.

To display a different name for a page in the sidebar, the page display name can be set.

• No shell: Pages with their display mode set to this value will render without the navigation sidebar.

Overrides

You can override this setting for any page using the toolpad-display query parameter with the page URL:

• ?toolpad-display=shell - Same as App shell mode.
• ?toolpad-display=standalone - Same as No shell mode.

Page parameters

Page parameters allow you to pass external data into the Toolpad Studio page state via the URL query parameters.

Setting parameters

You can set page parameters from the Page tab in the Inspector panel on right. You can add multiple parameters along with a default value for each.

Using parameters

The parameters that you've added are available in the global scope for data bindings under the page.parameters variable. The value that the parameter assumes at runtime is the value that is passed through a URL query parameter.

For example: if you define a page parameter foo and access the page with ?foo=123, then the value of page.parameters.foo in the bindings will be "123".

Page alias

Pages are routed by their name. For example the page named employees will be accessible under the url /pages/employees. In order to allow maintaining backwards compatibility when a page is renamed, one can define an alias for the page. This can be done in its page.yml file. Add a alias property to the file with an array of strings that you would like to use as aliases for the page. e.g.

# /pages/employees/page.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: page
spec:
  alias:
    - workers
    - colleagues

Now the urls /pages/workers and /pages/colleagues will both redirect to the url /pages/employees.
