Hi @alfaz_muhammed. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The
warnWhenUnsavedChanges
property in the useForm
hook is used to show a warning when the user tries to leave the page with unsaved changes. However, for this feature to work, it requires the onValuesChange
function. If you want to override the form's onValuesChange
, keep this in mind.
Here is the example usage of useForm
with warnWhenUnsavedChanges
:
Also, this feature requires the UnsavedChangesNotifier
component to be mounted. You can import this component from your router package.
If you have done all these and it's still not working, there might be other issues in your code.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#warnwhenunsavedchanges).

@kapa.ai how to do that and make it work
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To make the
warnWhenUnsavedChanges
property work, you need to ensure that the onValuesChange
function is properly set up in your form. This function is required for the warnWhenUnsavedChanges
feature to work.
Here is an example of how you can use it:
In the onValuesChange
function, changedValues
is an object that contains the changed fields and their values, and allValues
is the current form field values.
Additionally, you need to ensure that the UnsavedChangesNotifier
component is mounted. This component is required for the warnWhenUnsavedChanges
feature to work. You can import this component from your router package.
If you have done all these and it's still not working, there might be other issues in your code.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#warnwhenunsavedchanges).

@kapa.ai how to import UnsavedChangesNotifier and make it work
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To use the
UnsavedChangesNotifier
component, you need to import it from your router package and place it inside the <Refine>
component's children. Here's an example of how to do this in a Next.js application:
In this example, UnsavedChangesNotifier
is imported from @refinedev/nextjs-router
and placed as a child of the <Refine>
component. This enables the warnWhenUnsavedChanges
feature of refine, which shows a warning message when a user tries to navigate away from the current page without saving changes.
Please note that the UnsavedChangesNotifier
component also has optional properties translationKey
and message
that you can use to customize the warning message.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs).

@kapa.ai is it necessary to import it from @refinedev/nextjs-router
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The package from which you import
UnsavedChangesNotifier
depends on the router you're using in your project.
If you're using Next.js as your router, you should import it from @refinedev/nextjs-router
as shown:
If you're using Remix as your router, you should import it from @refinedev/remix-router
:
And if you're using React Router v6, you should import it from @refinedev/react-router-v6
:
You can find more information in the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs).

@kapa.ai I have imported but still not working when I change only my TeztFields
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
warnWhenUnsavedChanges
feature in Refine should work with any form field, including TextField
. If it's not working, there might be other issues in your code.
Here are some steps to troubleshoot:
1. Ensure that you have set warnWhenUnsavedChanges: true
in your useForm
or useModalForm
hook:
2. Make sure that the UnsavedChangesNotifier
component is correctly imported and placed inside the <Refine>
component's children:
3. Check if there are any errors in the console that might indicate what's going wrong.
If you've done all these and it's still not working, you might want to check the rest of your code for issues or consider seeking help from the Refine community or support.
For more information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#warnwhenunsavedchanges).
