I am creating a custom data connector and am currently working on the navigation table. I am writing this using the sdk in visual studio.
I am attempting to have a function in my navigation table that will take in user inputs to search through a larger table with their specified conditions. While I have found evidence that this is possible https://github.com/Microsoft/DataConnectors/tree/master/samples/TripPin/1-OData and https://github.com/Microsoft/DataConnectors/tree/master/samples/OpenApiSample they both seem to import their naviagtion tables in through metadata returned from their queires which is not an option for me.
Despite my best efforts I am yet to find anywhere that actually shows how to do this. I have tried simply putting a function that requires arguments in my navigation table but with no luck as it gives me an error that it is expecting parameters (which makes sense, but I need the user to enter them). I have even looked through the json metadata returned by some of the queries in the above examples with the closest I could find to anything was a value in the functions section setting IsComposable="true".
Any help or direction to a source which can help me would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I've founs the example of using functions in Navigation here https://github.com/microsoft/DataConnectors/issues/30
Hi Yuval, have you found the solution?
I see you managed to get some sort of solution to this problem. I wonder if you would be able to provide some pointers in how you solved it.
I am having the same issue for a custom connector i am working on. I have a number of functions that take different parameters and i would like to expose them via the navigation table. I can get it to work if they don't require parameters from the user but i can't work out how to allow them to enter anything. If i mock up something that auto-generates the Navigation table they appear as expected but unfortunately this isn't really an option for what i need to do.
Hello, did you find a solution? I'm struggling with a similar problem.
Cheers.
