<Edit> Save works, Delete doesn't
Hi! Confused about this one.
I'm using <Edit> to populate a form with existing data. It prepopulates correctly, and any edits I make are stored. However, delete does not -- in fact, it doesn't make the API call at all.
I have
canDelete: true
enabled in _app.
Any advice?14 Replies
Hi @avangeous. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
In the
<Edit>
component, the canDelete
property allows you to add a delete button. If the resource has the canDelete
property, refine adds the delete button by default. When clicked on, the delete button executes the useDelete
method provided by the dataProvider
.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
In this example, the delete button is only shown if the user has "admin" permissions. You can adjust this according to your needs.
If the delete button is present but the API call is not being made, it could be an issue with your dataProvider
configuration. The dataProvider
is responsible for making the actual API calls. You might want to check your dataProvider
setup and ensure that the delete
method is correctly implemented.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- <Edit>
component (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/basic-views/edit)
- useDelete
hook (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useDelete/)
- dataProvider
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider/)
- usePermissions
hook (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/authentication/usePermissions/)

@kapa.ai My dataprovider provides a deleteOne rather than useDelete. Could this be why?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, that could be the reason. The
useDelete
hook in refine uses the deleteOne
method from your dataProvider
to delete a record. If your dataProvider
provides a deleteOne
method, it should work correctly with the useDelete
hook.
Here's an example of how the deleteOne
method might look in your dataProvider
:
In this example, deleteOne
is an asynchronous function that takes an object with resource
, id
, and variables
properties. It constructs a URL using the resource
and id
, sends a DELETE request to that URL with axiosInstance.delete()
, and then returns the response data.
When you call useDelete
, it returns a mutate
function. You can then call this function with an object containing resource
and id
properties to delete a record:
In this example, mutate
is called with an object containing resource
and id
properties. These properties are passed to the deleteOne
method in your dataProvider
.
If your deleteOne
method is correctly implemented and useDelete
is still not working, there might be another issue. You might want to check the rest of your dataProvider
configuration and your component code.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- useDelete
hook (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useDelete/)
- dataProvider
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider/)

@kapa.ai deleteOne doesn't seem to be called. Any possible reasons?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
There could be several reasons why the
deleteOne
method is not being called:
1. Check your useDelete
hook usage: Ensure that you're calling the useDelete
hook correctly in your component. The useDelete
hook returns a mutate
function that you can call to delete a record. Here's an example:
You can then call deleteBlogPost
with an object containing resource
and id
properties to delete a record:
Refer to the useDelete
documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useDelete/) for more details.
2. Check your dataProvider
configuration: The useDelete
hook uses the deleteOne
method from your dataProvider
to delete a record. If deleteOne
is not being called, there might be an issue with your dataProvider
configuration. Ensure that you've correctly implemented the deleteOne
method in your dataProvider
. Here's an example:
Refer to the dataProvider
documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider/) for more details.
3. Check your API endpoint: Ensure that the API endpoint you're trying to hit exists and is correctly configured to handle DELETE requests. The deleteOne
method constructs a URL using the resource
and id
properties and sends a DELETE request to that URL.
If you've checked all of these and deleteOne
is still not being called, there might be another issue. You might want to check the rest of your dataProvider
configuration and your component code.

@kapa.ai I don't actually have <edit> on /dispatches/:id; its in a drawer on my main /dispatches page. Could this be why?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, that could be the reason. The
<Edit>
component reads the id
information from the route by default. If it's used on a custom page, modal, or drawer and cannot read the id
from the URL, you need to use the recordItemId
prop to provide the id
information.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
In this example, recordItemId
is set to 123
. You should replace 123
with the id
of the record you want to edit.
The <Edit>
component needs the id
information for the <RefreshButton>
to work properly.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- <Edit>
component (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/basic-views/edit)

@kapa.ai I already had recordItemId being passed; save works fine. It's just delete.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If the
recordItemId
is being passed correctly and the save functionality works fine, but the delete functionality doesn't, it might be an issue with the DeleteButton
component or the deleteOne
method in your dataProvider
.
Here's how you can use the DeleteButton
component:
In this example, DeleteButton
is used with resource
and recordItemId
props. You should replace "posts"
and "1"
with your resource name and record id.
When you click the DeleteButton
, it triggers the useDelete
method, which in turn calls the deleteOne
method in your dataProvider
.
If the DeleteButton
is present but the API call is not being made, it could be an issue with your dataProvider
configuration. The dataProvider
is responsible for making the actual API calls. You might want to check your dataProvider
setup and ensure that the deleteOne
method is correctly implemented.
For more information, you can refer to the following documentation:
- DeleteButton
component (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/buttons/delete-button)
- useDelete
hook (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useDelete/)
- dataProvider
(https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider/)
