ctx.makeResource()

Creates and returns a new resource instance without writing to or modifying ctx.resource. It is suitable for scenarios requiring multiple independent resources or temporary usage.

Use Cases

Scenario	Description
Multiple resources	Load multiple data sources simultaneously (e.g., user list + order list), each using an independent resource.
Temporary queries	One-time queries that are discarded after use, without needing to bind to `ctx.resource`.
Auxiliary data	Use `ctx.resource` for primary data and `makeResource` to create instances for additional data.

If you only need a single resource and want to bind it to ctx.resource, using ctx.initResource() is more appropriate.

Type Definition

makeResource<T = FlowResource>(
  resourceType: 'APIResource' | 'SingleRecordResource' | 'MultiRecordResource' | 'SQLResource'
): T;

Parameter	Type	Description
`resourceType`	`string`	Resource type: `'APIResource'`, `'SingleRecordResource'`, `'MultiRecordResource'`, `'SQLResource'`

Returns: The newly created resource instance.

Difference from ctx.initResource()

Method	Behavior
`ctx.makeResource(type)`	Only creates and returns a new instance, not writing to `ctx.resource`. Can be called multiple times to obtain multiple independent resources.
`ctx.initResource(type)`	Creates and binds if `ctx.resource` does not exist; returns it directly if it already exists. Ensures `ctx.resource` is available.

Examples

Single resource

const listRes = ctx.makeResource('MultiRecordResource');
listRes.setResourceName('users');
await listRes.refresh();
const users = listRes.getData();
// ctx.resource remains its original value (if any)

Multiple resources

const usersRes = ctx.makeResource('MultiRecordResource');
usersRes.setResourceName('users');
await usersRes.refresh();

const ordersRes = ctx.makeResource('MultiRecordResource');
ordersRes.setResourceName('orders');
await ordersRes.refresh();

ctx.render(
  <div>
    <p>User count: {usersRes.getData().length}</p>
    <p>Order count: {ordersRes.getData().length}</p>
  </div>
);

Temporary query

// One-time query, does not pollute ctx.resource
const tempRes = ctx.makeResource('SingleRecordResource');
tempRes.setResourceName('users');
tempRes.setFilterByTk(1);
await tempRes.refresh();
const record = tempRes.getData();

Notes

The newly created resource needs to call setResourceName(name) to specify the collection, and then load data via refresh().
Each resource instance is independent and does not affect others; suitable for loading multiple data sources in parallel.

ctx.initResource(): Initialize and bind to ctx.resource
ctx.resource: The resource instance in the current context
MultiRecordResource — Multiple records/List
SingleRecordResource — Single record
APIResource — General API resource
SQLResource — SQL query resource
