refetch autocomplete options

in my create page I'm using an mui autocomplete field. if it has no options to choose, there will show up a button to create an option which will redirect to another create page in a new window. once I submitted in new window it automatically closes and return back to original window. but here, the newly created option is not updated since we used different windows. any solution?

@kapa.ai is there any way to update the autocomplete fields in create page?

kapa.ai•14mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you can update the Autocomplete field in the Create page by using the useAutocomplete hook provided by Refine. The hook fetches data using the useList hook, so when the data is updated, the Autocomplete field will be updated as well. Here's an example of how to use the useAutocomplete hook in a Create page:

import React from "react";
import { Create, useAutocomplete } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Autocomplete, Box, TextField } from "@mui/material";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Controller } from "react-hook-form";

const SampleCreate = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { formLoading },
    register,
    control,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm();

  const { autocompleteProps: categoryAutocompleteProps } = useAutocomplete({
    resource: "categories",
  });
return (
    <Create isLoading={formLoading} saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
      <Box
        component="form"
        sx={{ display: "flex", flexDirection: "column" }}
        autoComplete="off"
      >
        {/* Other form fields */}
        <Controller
          control={control}
          name="category"
          rules={{ required: "This field is required" }}
          // eslint-disable-next-line
          defaultValue={null as any}
          render={({ field }) => (
            <Autocomplete
              {...categoryAutocompleteProps}
              {...field}
              onChange={(_, value) => {
                field.onChange(value);
              }}
              getOptionLabel={(item) => {
                return (
                  categoryAutocompleteProps?.options?.find(
                    (p) =>
                      p?.id?.toString() ===
                      item?.id?.toString(),
                  )?.title ?? ""
                );
              }}
              isOptionEqualToValue={(option, value) =>
                value === undefined ||
                option?.id?.toString() ===
                  (value?.id ?? value)?.toString()
              }
              renderInput={(params) => (
                <TextField
                  {...params}
                  label="Category"
                  margin="normal"
                  variant="outlined"
                  error={!!(errors as any)?.category?.id}
                  helperText={
                    (errors as any)?.category?.id?.message
                  }
                  required
                />
              )}
            />
          )}
        />
      </Box>
    </Create>
  );
};

import React from "react";
import { Create, useAutocomplete } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Autocomplete, Box, TextField } from "@mui/material";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Controller } from "react-hook-form";

const SampleCreate = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { formLoading },
    register,
    control,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm();

  const { autocompleteProps: categoryAutocompleteProps } = useAutocomplete({
    resource: "categories",
  });
return (
    <Create isLoading={formLoading} saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
      <Box
        component="form"
        sx={{ display: "flex", flexDirection: "column" }}
        autoComplete="off"
      >
        {/* Other form fields */}
        <Controller
          control={control}
          name="category"
          rules={{ required: "This field is required" }}
          // eslint-disable-next-line
          defaultValue={null as any}
          render={({ field }) => (
            <Autocomplete
              {...categoryAutocompleteProps}
              {...field}
              onChange={(_, value) => {
                field.onChange(value);
              }}
              getOptionLabel={(item) => {
                return (
                  categoryAutocompleteProps?.options?.find(
                    (p) =>
                      p?.id?.toString() ===
                      item?.id?.toString(),
                  )?.title ?? ""
                );
              }}
              isOptionEqualToValue={(option, value) =>
                value === undefined ||
                option?.id?.toString() ===
                  (value?.id ?? value)?.toString()
              }
              renderInput={(params) => (
                <TextField
                  {...params}
                  label="Category"
                  margin="normal"
                  variant="outlined"
                  error={!!(errors as any)?.category?.id}
                  helperText={
                    (errors as any)?.category?.id?.message
                  }
                  required
                />
              )}
            />
          )}
        />
      </Box>
    </Create>
  );
};

In this example, the useAutocomplete hook is used to fetch data for the "categories" resource. When the data is updated, the Autocomplete field will be updated as well. For more information, refer to the Refine MUI Autocomplete Hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/hooks/useAutocomplete/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

are you sending option to backend from new window ?

plain-purple•14mo ago

No, not like that the usecase is in the old window, my autocomplete is for selecting location, so if there is no location, it will redirect to new window to the create page for location the resource location is used in the old window. now that it is got updated in the new window. but when coming back to old window, it doesn't know that an item is created in this resource.

other-emerald•14mo ago

If i understand correctly, then the question is "in react how can i persist/share sate between diffrent brower pages" this is very specific use case. i didn't tested but i came across this articles. you can try https://www.joshwcomeau.com/react/persisting-react-state-in-localstorage/ https://javascript.plainenglish.io/a-react-hook-to-share-state-between-browser-windows-a672470f66ff

plain-purple•14mo ago

I mean not persisiting or sharing, I just want my useAutocomplete hook to be refetched again ...when a new new option is created in new window

other-emerald•14mo ago

you are sending to backend in new window, am i right ? then i believe you can use this https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/react/guides/window-focus-refetching for useTable you can use this.

useTable({
        queryOptions: {
            refetchOnWindowFocus: true,
        },
    });

useTable({
        queryOptions: {
            refetchOnWindowFocus: true,
        },
    });

all data hooks has queryOptions prop. you can give this option

plain-purple•14mo ago

ok let me try this @alicanerdurmaz this does not seems to be working. ok somehow I managed to get a callback to the original when a new item is created in the new window. now I just need to update the useAutoComplete hook to fetch the latest option @alicanerdurmaz given this properly and it worked. really thankful for your help. appreciate it.
