I have a very simple bit code to add a % sign on the end of a number: export function Moviesx_afterQuery(item, context) { item.femalePercent = item.femalePercent + '%'
return item; } And on my site, I do indeed get the desired result - .e.g. 12% But what surprises me is when I look in the content manager the 'femalePercent' now shows with % (together with an ! "The value does not match the field type Number". ), instead of just an interger. Is this expected behaviour? I only expected the query hook to only apply on the client-side, not when viewing the data in the content manager. Thanks
Ta, I'll give that a try.
Yes, that is a good solution for many situations but some plugins such as the Pro Galleries seem only to be able to access the collection's fields, not ones generated in JS.
I don't think it does any harm but maybe you'd prefer to use different field names, so it'll look OK when you load the content manager. something like:
export function Moviesx_afterQuery(item, context) { item.femalePercentFormat = item.femalePercent + '%'; return item; }
and use the new field on the front-end page.
