Editing a specific record on page load. IE: mysite.com/edit?id=42

washuit-iamm

My users are asking to send link to specific rows, id imagine the use case is they want to hit a URL like mysite.com/edit?id=42 and be presented with an open editor modal in edit mode. I know the edit() api pretty well, and the only thing I can come up with is fetching the individual row after page load from the server, popping it into the table somewhere and firing edit(some-row-selector).

Is there a better way?

You could use Editor's standalone mode for this. I don't actually have an example showing a table being individually editable on a new page (added to the to-do list now!) but this example shows a standalone Editor being used. The key different would be your id=42 being used to populate the values in the from. You could even trigger the edit() method immediately, so they don't need to click the "Edit" button like in that example.
