Hi @erekyu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To list media in the interface when using Strapi with Refine, you can follow these steps: 1. Create an interface for the data from your Strapi API, including the media field. For example, if you have a Product collection with an Image field, your interface might look like this:
export interface IProduct {
id: number;
title: string;
description: string;
image: {
url: string;
};
}
export interface IProduct {
id: number;
title: string;
description: string;
image: {
url: string;
};
}
2. In your list component, use the useDataGrid hook to fetch the data and display it in a table. For example, in a ProductList component:
import { useDataGrid } from "@pankod/refine";

const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<IProduct>();
import { useDataGrid } from "@pankod/refine";

const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<IProduct>();
3. Define the columns for your table, including a column for the media field. To display the image, you can use the renderCell function:
import { GridColumns } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

const columns = React.useMemo<GridColumns<IProduct>>(
() => [
// Other columns...
{
field: "image",
headerName: "Image",
minWidth: 150,
renderCell: function render({ row }) {
return <img src={row.image?.url} alt={row.title} width="100" />;
},
},
// Other columns...
],
[]
);
import { GridColumns } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

const columns = React.useMemo<GridColumns<IProduct>>(
() => [
// Other columns...
{
field: "image",
headerName: "Image",
minWidth: 150,
renderCell: function render({ row }) {
return <img src={row.image?.url} alt={row.title} width="100" />;
},
},
// Other columns...
],
[]
);
4. Finally, use the DataGrid component to display the table with the fetched data and defined columns:
import { DataGrid } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

<DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} />;
import { DataGrid } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

<DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} />;
This will display the media (e.g., images) in the interface when listing the records. For more information on listing records with Refine and Strapi, you can refer to the following sources:

@kapa.ai what would the edit page look like
kapa.ai
kapa.aiā€¢2y ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The edit page for a record in a Refine application would typically include a form with input fields for each property of the record. Here's an example of what an edit page might look like for a Post resource: 1. Create a PostEdit component in your pages/posts directory:
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import { Edit, IResourceComponentsProps, Input, useForm } from "@pankod/refine";

export const PostEdit: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Input name="title" label="Title" {...formProps} />
<Input name="content" label="Content" {...formProps} />
{/* Add other input fields as needed */}
</Edit>
);
};
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import { Edit, IResourceComponentsProps, Input, useForm } from "@pankod/refine";

export const PostEdit: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Input name="title" label="Title" {...formProps} />
<Input name="content" label="Content" {...formProps} />
{/* Add other input fields as needed */}
</Edit>
);
};
2. Import the PostEdit component in your pages/posts/index.tsx file:
// src/pages/posts/index.tsx

export * from "./edit";
// src/pages/posts/index.tsx

export * from "./edit";
3. Add the PostEdit component to the resources prop of the Refine component in your App.tsx file:
// src/App.tsx

import {
PostList,
PostCreate,
PostEdit,
} from "pages/posts";

// ...

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
// ...
<Refine
// ...
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
list: PostList,
create: PostCreate,
edit: PostEdit,
},
]}
/>
// ...
);
};
// src/App.tsx

import {
PostList,
PostCreate,
PostEdit,
} from "pages/posts";

// ...

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
// ...
<Refine
// ...
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
list: PostList,
create: PostCreate,
edit: PostEdit,
},
]}
/>
// ...
);
};
After completing these steps, clicking the edit button for a post should redirect you to the edit page, where you can update the record data. For more information on creating an edit page with Refine and Strapi, you can refer to the following sources:

kapa.ai
kapa.aiā€¢2y ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To create an edit page with a Strapi media uploader, you can use the Upload.Dragger component from Ant Design. Here's an example of an edit page for a Post resource with an image field: 1. Create an interface for the Post resource, including the image field:
// src/interfaces.ts

export interface IPost {
id: string;
title: string;
image: {
url: string;
};
}
// src/interfaces.ts

export interface IPost {
id: string;
title: string;
image: {
url: string;
};
}
2. Create a PostEdit component in your pages/posts directory:
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {
Edit,
useForm,
getValueFromEvent,
} from "@pankod/refine";
import { Form, Input, Upload } from "antd";
import { useApiUrl } from "@pankod/refine";
import { IPost } from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={[{ required: true }]}>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Image">
<Form.Item

>
<Upload.Dragger
name="file"
action={`${apiUrl}/media/upload`}
listType="picture"
maxCount={1}
multiple={false}
>
<p className="ant-upload-text">
Drag & drop a file in this area
</p>
</Upload.Dragger>
</Form.Item>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
};
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {
Edit,
useForm,
getValueFromEvent,
} from "@pankod/refine";
import { Form, Input, Upload } from "antd";
import { useApiUrl } from "@pankod/refine";
import { IPost } from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={[{ required: true }]}>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Image">
<Form.Item
name="image"
valuePropName="fileList"
getValueFromEvent={getValueFromEvent}
noStyle
>
<Upload.Dragger
name="file"
action={`${apiUrl}/media/upload`}

maxCount={1}
multiple={false}
>
<p className="ant-upload-text">
Drag & drop a file in this area
</p>
</Upload.Dragger>
</Form.Item>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
};
3. Import the PostEdit component in your pages/posts/index.tsx file:
// src/pages/posts/index.tsx

export * from "./edit";
// src/pages/posts/index.tsx

export * from "./edit";

4. Add the PostEdit component to the resources prop of the Refine component in your App.tsx file:
// src/App.tsx

import {
PostList,
PostCreate,
PostEdit,
} from "pages/posts";

// ...

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
// ...
<Refine
// ...
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
list: PostList,
create: PostCreate,
edit: PostEdit,
},
]}
/>
// ...
);
};
// src/App.tsx

import {
PostList,
PostCreate,
PostEdit,
} from "pages/posts";

// ...

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
// ...
<Refine
// ...
resources={[
{
name: "posts",
list: PostList,
create: PostCreate,
edit: PostEdit,
},
]}
/>
// ...
);
};

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- It seems like you're encountering an issue with the getValueFromEvent function. This function is used to handle the file upload event and extract the necessary information. The error you're encountering might be due to an incorrect implementation of this function. To fix the issue, you can use the getValueFromEvent function provided by Refine. Update your PostEdit component as follows:
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {{
Edit,
useForm,
getValueFromEvent, // Import this function from Refine
}} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ Form, Input, Upload }} from "antd";
import {{ useApiUrl }} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ IPost }} from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {{
const {{ formProps, saveButtonProps }} = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={{saveButtonProps}}>
<Form {{...formProps}} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={{[{{ required: true }}]}}>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Image">
<Form.Item
name="image"
valuePropName="fileList"
getValueFromEvent={{getValueFromEvent}} // Use the imported function
noStyle
>
<Upload.Dragger
name="file"
action={{`${{apiUrl}}/media/upload`}}
listType="picture"
maxCount={{1}}
multiple={{false}}
>
<p className="ant-upload-text">
Drag & drop a file in this area
</p>
</Upload.Dragger>
</Form.Item>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
}};
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {{
Edit,
useForm,
getValueFromEvent, // Import this function from Refine
}} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ Form, Input, Upload }} from "antd";
import {{ useApiUrl }} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ IPost }} from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {{
const {{ formProps, saveButtonProps }} = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={{saveButtonProps}}>
<Form {{...formProps}} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={{[{{ required: true }}]}}>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Image">
<Form.Item
name="image"
valuePropName="fileList"
getValueFromEvent={{getValueFromEvent}} // Use the imported function
noStyle
>
<Upload.Dragger
name="file"
action={{`${{apiUrl}}/media/upload`}}
listType="picture"
maxCount={{1}}
multiple={{false}}
>
<p className="ant-upload-text">
Drag & drop a file in this area
</p>
</Upload.Dragger>
</Form.Item>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
}};
By using the getValueFromEvent function provided by Refine, you should be able to resolve the "e is not iterable" error.

@kapa.ai my new error for getValueFromEvent is "(fileList []).forEach is not a function TypeError: (fileList []).forEach is not a function"
kapa.ai
kapa.aiā€¢2y ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- It seems like the getValueFromEvent function is expecting an array, but it's receiving a non-array value. To fix this issue, you can create a custom getValueFromEvent function that handles the file upload event and ensures that the returned value is an array. Update your PostEdit component with a custom getValueFromEvent function as follows:
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {{
Edit,
useForm,
}} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ Form, Input, Upload }} from "antd";
import {{ useApiUrl }} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ IPost }} from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {{
const {{ formProps, saveButtonProps }} = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

// Custom getValueFromEvent function
const customGetValueFromEvent = (e: any) => {{
if (Array.isArray(e)) {{
return e;
}}
return e && e.fileList ? e.fileList : [];
}};

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={{saveButtonProps}}>
<Form {{...formProps}} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={{[{{ required: true }}]}}>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Image">
<Form.Item
name="image"
valuePropName="fileList"
getValueFromEvent={{customGetValueFromEvent}} // Use the custom function
noStyle
>
<Upload.Dragger
name="file"
action={{`${{apiUrl}}/media/upload`}}
listType="picture"
maxCount={{1}}
multiple={{false}}
>
<p className="ant-upload-text">

</p>
</Upload.Dragger>
</Form.Item>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
}};
// src/pages/posts/edit.tsx

import {{
Edit,
useForm,
}} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ Form, Input, Upload }} from "antd";
import {{ useApiUrl }} from "@pankod/refine";
import {{ IPost }} from "interfaces";

export const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {{
const {{ formProps, saveButtonProps }} = useForm<IPost>();
const apiUrl = useApiUrl();

// Custom getValueFromEvent function
const customGetValueFromEvent = (e: any) => {{
if (Array.isArray(e)) {{
return e;
}}
return e && e.fileList ? e.fileList : [];
}};

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={{saveButtonProps}}>
<Form {{...formProps}} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title" rules={{[{{ required: true }}]}}>

}};

I can't quite understand here, but is your file field an array or an object? Are you sure you are using your own getValueProps function? Or are you importing from @refinedev/strapi-v4? Because the changes in PR have not yet been released
afraid-scarlet
afraid-scarletOPā€¢2y ago
i copied your changes into my node_modules (removed the files and updated the array)
conscious-sapphire
conscious-sapphireā€¢2y ago
The error is caused by trying to spread an object in an array. Can you try creating an own getValueProps function and use it. In my opinion node_modules changes don't work
