js
table: {
	instance: *ref_to_table_api,
	state: *ref_to_table_store,
	requery: *ref_to_requery_table_function,
}

The requery function supports two optional parameters:

js
requery(recalculateRowCount, enableLoadingFeedback)
  • recalculateRowCount: When true, forces a row count recalculation. (default: false)

Return Value

Return false to cancel the deletion, or true to proceed with the deletion.

✨ Example of a preDelete Hook

This example prevents deleting rows with an id greater than 40000.

js
((table, app) => {

	if (rowId?.id > 40000) {

    	wpda.alert("ERROR", "Delete not allowed!")		// Use built-in alert
        wpda.snackbar("Delete not allowed!", "error")   // Use built-in snackbar
      
        return false

    }

})
