[TEST] [Bug]:

[pwizla]

Link to the documentation page or resource

https://docs.strapi.io/cms/plugins-development/admin-panel-api#accessing-data-with-the-usecmeditviewdatamanager-react-hook

Describe the bug

In the plugin documentation, it it stated in the example that there is still a
useCMEditViewDataManager from '@strapi/helper-plugin' on this page :

https://docs.strapi.io/cms/plugins-development/admin-panel-api#accessing-data-with-the-usecmeditviewdatamanager-react-hook
=> "Example of a basic component using the 'useCMEditViewDataManager' hook"

But this is a wrong example since this import has a breaking change (stated from https://docs.strapi.io/cms/migration/v4-to-v5/additional-resources/helper-plugin#usecmeditviewdatamanager)

🤖 I've analyzed your question and here's what I found:

Thank you so much for taking the time to report this issue and for providing such a clear explanation and helpful links! We really appreciate your attention to detail and your effort to help improve the Strapi documentation for everyone in the community.

You are absolutely correct: in Strapi v5, the useCMEditViewDataManager hook from @strapi/helper-plugin has been deprecated and replaced. The documentation page you referenced currently shows an outdated example, which could definitely cause confusion for developers upgrading or building plugins for Strapi v5.

What’s changed in Strapi v5?

• The useCMEditViewDataManager hook is no longer available from @strapi/helper-plugin.
• Instead, you should use the new (experimental) unstable_useContentManagerContext hook from @strapi/strapi/admin. The API has changed, and some properties have been renamed or restructured.

How to update your code:

Here’s how you can migrate your code:

// Before (Strapi v4)
import { useCMEditViewDataManager } from '@strapi/helper-plugin';

const { slug, isSingleType, isCreatingEntry, hasDraftAndPublished } =
  useCMEditViewDataManager();

// After (Strapi v5)
import { unstable_useContentManagerContext as useContentManagerContext } from '@strapi/strapi/admin';

const {
  model,
  collectionType,
  id,
  slug,
  isCreatingEntry,
  isSingleType,
  hasDraftAndPublish,
} = useContentManagerContext();

You can find more migration details and code examples in the helper-plugin migration reference and the breaking changes documentation.

Next steps:

• This is indeed a documentation bug, and your report will help us get it fixed! I’ll flag this for the documentation team to update the example so it reflects the correct usage for Strapi v5.
• In the meantime, if you have any questions or run into issues while migrating, feel free to reach out on our community forum or Discord.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for helping make Strapi better for everyone! If you have further suggestions or want to track this issue, you can also submit or upvote improvements at feedback.strapi.io.

Warm regards,
The Strapi Team
