useDeleteMeta

Resolves the confirmation dialog title, description, success message, and mutation mode for single-record delete operations. Use this inside a component rendered within a record context (Detail, Edit, or a List row).

import { useDeleteMeta } from '@strato-admin/core';

const MyDeleteButton = ({ dialogTitle, dialogDescription }) => {
  const { title, description } = useDeleteMeta({
    title: dialogTitle,
    description: dialogDescription,
  });
  // title and description are already translated strings
};

Signature

function useDeleteMeta(props?: UseDeleteMetaProps): {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  successMessage: string | ReactNode | undefined;
  mutationMode: 'pessimistic' | 'optimistic' | 'undoable' | undefined;
};

interface UseDeleteMetaProps {
  title?: string;
  description?: string;
  successMessage?: string | ReactNode;
  mutationMode?: 'pessimistic' | 'optimistic' | 'undoable';
}

Resolution order

For title and description, the hook resolves the first defined value:

1. The prop passed directly to the hook
2. The schema value from <ResourceSchema> (deleteTitle / deleteDescription)
3. The built-in default translation key (strato.message.delete_title / strato.message.delete_content)

All values are treated as ICU translation keys and formatted via useTranslate. The built-in defaults produce "Delete this item" and "Are you sure you want to delete this item?".

For successMessage and mutationMode, the hook falls back to the <Settings> values.

Prop types are strings

Unlike the page-level meta hooks, title and description props are plain string (translation keys), not ReactNode. The hook always returns fully resolved string values.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
props.title	string	Translation key override for the dialog title.
props.description	string	Translation key override for the dialog body.
props.successMessage	string | ReactNode	Notification shown after successful deletion.
props.mutationMode	'pessimistic' | 'optimistic' | 'undoable'	How the delete mutation behaves.

Return value

Field	Type	Description
title	string	Resolved dialog title.
description	string	Resolved dialog body.
successMessage	string | ReactNode | undefined	Post-delete notification.
mutationMode	'pessimistic' | 'optimistic' | 'undoable' | undefined	Mutation behavior.
