Make api calls to a custom endpoint and not the resource name

Hi all , I currently have 4 resources : users , roles , permissions , providers . I want to update resource name to dashboard/user , dashboard/roles , etc. but still make api calls to {{BASE_URL}}/users | roles | permissions | providers only , not {{BASE_URL}}/dashboard/users | roles ...etc . How can i handle this use case ? P.S. I thought of using identifier property of resources but its giving type error : identifier is not part of ResourceProp .

Hey @yeah_ush! I'm the kapa.ai support bot. I've searched through the docs to try to answer your question. :wave:

---------------------- You can achieve this by using the resource property in data hooks. The resource property allows you to specify a custom URL for API calls. You can keep the resource names as dashboard/user, dashboard/roles, etc., but make API calls to /users, /roles, /permissions, and /providers by specifying the resource property in your data hooks. For example, if you want to make a request to the URL /users while using the resource name dashboard/user, you can do the following:

import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";

useTable({
  resource: "/users",
});

import { useTable } from "@refinedev/core";

useTable({
  resource: "/users",
});

This way, you can keep your resource names as dashboard/user, dashboard/roles, etc., but still make API calls to /users, /roles, /permissions, and /providers. Source: FAQ - How can I request an API with nested route? (https://refine.dev/docs/faq) ----------------------

How can I change the form data before submitting it to the API?

but in this way i have to update all the hooks and what if I am using an Inferencer component is there a better approach to this ??

You can use resource property of Inferencer component. https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/inferencer/#usage

<AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />

<AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />

Inferencer | refine

You can automatically generate views for your resources using @refinedev/inferencer. Inferencer exports AntdListInferencer, AntdShowInferencer, AntdEditInferencer, AntdCreateInferencer and AntdInferencer (which combines all in one place) components.
