Prepopulate form based on dropdown inside form

Hi! I have a form that includes a user select dropdown. Once the user is selected, another dropdown should make an API call and prepopulate with the user's email & phone number. I'm not confident on where to start. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi @avangeous. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Sure, I can guide you on how to achieve this using the useSelect hook provided by Refine. The useSelect hook allows you to manage any select component and it is designed as headless, meaning it expects you to handle the UI. This hook uses the useList hook for fetching data. Here's a basic example of how you can use the useSelect hook:

const { selectProps: categorySelectProps } = useSelect<ICategory>({  
 resource: "categories",  
 optionLabel: "title",  
 optionValue: "id",  
});  
  
<Select {...categorySelectProps} />;

const { selectProps: categorySelectProps } = useSelect<ICategory>({  
 resource: "categories",  
 optionLabel: "title",  
 optionValue: "id",  
});  
  
<Select {...categorySelectProps} />;

In your case, you would have two useSelect hooks. The first one would be for selecting the user, and the second one would be dependent on the first one's selected value. Once a user is selected, you would make an API call to fetch the user's email and phone number, and populate the second dropdown with this data. Unfortunately, the extracts provided do not include a detailed example of how to achieve this exact functionality. I would recommend checking the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/useSelect) for more detailed examples and usage of the useSelect hook. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Tangent, but it seems too small to create a post for; how can I change the 'save' button label in a <Form> component to different text?

kapa.ai•13mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can customize the 'Save' button label in a <Form> component by using the saveButtonProps property. This property allows you to customize the save button in the <Edit> or <Create> components. Here's an example of how you can change the label of the 'Save' button:

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit saveButtonProps={{ children: "Your Custom Text" }}>  
 <span>Rest of your page here</span>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit saveButtonProps={{ children: "Your Custom Text" }}>  
 <span>Rest of your page here</span>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

In this example, the 'Save' button's label in the <Edit> component is changed to "Your Custom Text". You can replace "Your Custom Text" with any text you want to appear as the button's label. You can refer to the documentation for more details: - Edit component in MUI (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/basic-views/edit) - Create component in MUI (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/basic-views/create) Please note that the exact import statement (import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";) may vary based on the UI library you are using (MUI, Ant Design, etc.). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai What about the save button icon?

kapa.ai•13mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The saveButtonProps property can also be used to customize the icon of the 'Save' button in the <Edit> or <Create> components. However, the exact way to do this would depend on the UI library you are using. Unfortunately, the provided extracts do not include specific examples of how to change the icon of the 'Save' button. I would recommend checking the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) for more detailed examples and usage of the saveButtonProps property. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I'm using Antd.

kapa.ai•13mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In Ant Design, you can customize the icon of the 'Save' button in the <Edit> or <Create> components using the saveButtonProps property. You can pass an icon prop to saveButtonProps to set a custom icon. Here's an example of how you can change the icon of the 'Save' button:

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { SaveOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit saveButtonProps={{ icon: <SaveOutlined /> }}>  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { SaveOutlined } from '@ant-design/icons';

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Edit saveButtonProps={{ icon: <SaveOutlined /> }}>  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};

In this example, the 'Save' button's icon in the <Edit> component is changed to the SaveOutlined icon. You can replace <SaveOutlined /> with any Ant Design icon component you want to use as the button's icon. You can refer to the documentation for more details: - Edit component in Ant Design (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/basic-views/edit) - Create component in Ant Design (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/basic-views/create) ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai How could I require an <Input> value when, and only when, a <Checkbox> in the form is set to true?

kapa.ai•13mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can achieve this by using the rules prop of the Form.Item component in Ant Design. The rules prop allows you to set validation rules for the form field. You can set a rule that requires the <Input> value only when a <Checkbox> is set to true. Here's a basic example:

import { Form, Input, Checkbox } from 'antd';

const YourFormComponent = () => {
  const [checkboxValue, setCheckboxValue] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <Form>
      <Form.Item
        name="checkbox"
        valuePropName="checked"
      >
        <Checkbox onChange={e => setCheckboxValue(e.target.checked)} />
      </Form.Item>
      <Form.Item
        name="input"
        rules={[
          {
            required: checkboxValue,
            message: 'This field is required',
          },
        ]}
      >
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
    </Form>
  );
};

import { Form, Input, Checkbox } from 'antd';

const YourFormComponent = () => {
  const [checkboxValue, setCheckboxValue] = React.useState(false);

  return (
    <Form>
      <Form.Item
        name="checkbox"
        valuePropName="checked"
      >
        <Checkbox onChange={e => setCheckboxValue(e.target.checked)} />
      </Form.Item>
      <Form.Item
        name="input"
        rules={[
          {
            required: checkboxValue,
            message: 'This field is required',
          },
        ]}
      >
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
    </Form>
  );
};

In this example, the required rule for the <Input> field is set to the state of the <Checkbox>. When the <Checkbox> is checked (set to true), the <Input> field becomes required. When the <Checkbox> is unchecked (set to false), the <Input> field is no longer required. Please note that this is a basic example and you might need to adjust it to fit your specific use case. For more information on form validation in Ant Design, you can refer to the Custom Form Validation (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/forms/custom-form-validation) section in the Refine documentation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
