How to get custom setting from get_option and pass it in getEntityRecords in gutenberg block?

Question

In my plugin settings I got the custom post type set in variable $clientlogocptname

$clientlogocptname = get_option( 'clientlogocpt-select' );

How do I retrive the value of $clientlogocptname setting and pass it in getEntityRecords in "custompost_type" gutenberg block?? Is it possible to get the value in the block or can you suggest a better way?

const data = useSelect((select) => {
return select('core').getEntityRecords('postType', 'custompost_type');
});

Answer 1

As far as I can tell from looking into block editor store (you can use Redux devtools plugin for browser for that), entity for reading options is not registered. That means you cannot use getEntityRecord selector, which is usual way to obtain such data. Instead, either you can:

1. Use apiFetch to fetch data from designated REST endpoint.
2. Register your own entity to REST endpoint from 1. with addEntities and use getEntityRecord for getting data from option.

Answer 2

It looks like you're trying to retrieve the value of the clientlogocpt-select setting and use it as the value for the postType parameter in the getEntityRecords method. To do this, you can simply use the value of the $clientlogocptname variable as the value for the postType parameter like this:

const data = useSelect((select) => {
  return select('core').getEntityRecords('postType', $clientlogocptname);
});

This will retrieve the entity records for the custom post type specified by the clientlogocpt-select setting.
