Automatically Load Data

@univerjs-pro/collaboration-client plugin provides a feature that automatically loads corresponding data according to the URL parameters unit and type, which can simplify the data loading logic in some cases.

If you want to use this feature, you need to modify the original data loading logic appropriately and add the unit and type parameters to the URL, as shown below:

import { UniverInstanceType } from '@univerjs/core';
 
- univer.createUnit(UniverInstanceType.UNIVER_SHEET, {});
 
+ const url = new URL(window.location.href);
+ const unit = url.searchParams.get('unit');
 
+ if (unit) {
+   // If the URL contains the unit parameter, the data will be loaded automatically
+ } else {
+   // Or create a new workbook
+   fetch(`/universer-api/snapshot/${UniverInstanceType.UNIVER_SHEET}/unit/-/create`, {
+     method: 'POST',
+     headers: {
+       'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+     },
+     body: JSON.stringify({
+       type: UniverInstanceType.UNIVER_SHEET, // instance type
+       name: 'New Sheet By Univer', // sheet name
+       creator: 'user',  // creator name
+     }),
+   }).then((response) => {
+     if (!response.ok) {
+       throw new Error('create unit failed');
+     }
+
+     return response.json();
+   }).then((data) => {
+     if (!data.unitID) {
+       throw new Error('create unit failed');
+     }
+
+     url.searchParams.set('unit', data.unitID);
+     url.searchParams.set('type', String(UniverInstanceType.UNIVER_SHEET));
+     window.location.href = url.toString();
+   }).catch((error) => {
+     console.error(error);
+   })
+ }
