INSERT INTO sqlpage_functions ( "name", "introduced_in_version", "icon", "description_md" ) VALUES ( 'link', '0.25.0', 'link', 'Returns the URL of a SQLPage file with the given parameters. ### Example Let''s say you have a database of products, and you want the main page (`index.sql`) to link to the page of each product (`product.sql`) with the product name as a parameter. In `index.sql`, you can use the `link` function to generate the URL of the product page for each product. ```sql select ''list'' as component; select name as title, sqlpage.link(''product'', json_object(''product_name'', name)) as link from products; ``` In `product.sql`, you can then use `$product_name` to get the name of the product from the URL parameter: ```sql select ''hero'' as component, $product_name as title, product_info as description from products where name = $product_name; ``` > You could also have manually constructed the URL with `CONCAT(''product?product_name='', name)`, > but using `sqlpage.link` is better because it ensures that the URL is properly encoded. > `sqlpage.link` will work even if the product name contains special characters like `&`, while `CONCAT(...)` would break the URL. ### Parameters - `file` (TEXT): The name of the SQLPage file to link to. - `parameters` (JSON): The parameters to pass to the linked file. - `fragment` (TEXT): An optional fragment (hash) to append to the URL. This is useful for linking to a specific section of a page. For instance if `product.sql` contains `select ''text'' as component, ''product_description'' as id;`, you can link to the product description section with `sqlpage.link(''product.sql'', json_object(''product_name'', name), ''product_description'')`.
