invalid hook call error
Hi, using refine.dev (vite) I'm trying to "preload" data from UseList
In order to do that, i'm tryint to write something like the following:
export const BaseElementsList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
const [all_categories, set_all_categories] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
async function fetchCategories() {
const { data: categories_data } = await useList<ICourier, HttpError>({
resource: 'base-categories',
});
const data = await categories_data?.data ?? [];
console.log( data );
set_all_categories(data);
}
fetchCategories();
}, []);
but the problem is that i got the error:
ncaught (in promise) Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. This could happen for one of the following reasons:
1. You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM)
2. You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks
3. You might have more than one copy of React in the same app
what am i doing wrong ?

Hi @dannywhiteagile. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The error you're encountering is due to the fact that you're trying to use a hook (
useList
) inside a function (fetchCategories
) that is not a React component. According to the Rules of Hooks (https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-rules.html), hooks can only be called at the top level of a React function component or a custom hook.
Here's how you can refactor your code to follow the rules of hooks:
In this refactored code, useList
is called at the top level of the component, and the useEffect
hook is used to update all_categories
whenever data
changes. This way, you're not breaking the rules of hooks.
For more information on how to use the useList
hook, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useList/).

that is not what I need. I use this to avoid refetching using Uselist

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If you want to avoid refetching data with
useList
, you can leverage the caching feature provided by the underlying data fetching library used by Refine, which is React Query.
React Query provides a caching mechanism out of the box. When you fetch data using useList
, the data is cached and any subsequent calls to useList
with the same parameters will retrieve the data from the cache instead of making a new network request.
However, if you want to manually control when the data is refetched, you can use the enabled
option in useList
. By setting enabled
to false
, the query will not automatically run. You can then manually trigger the query using the refetch
function returned by useList
.
Here's an example:
In this example, useList
will not run until fetch
is set to true
. The useEffect
hook is used to set fetch
to true
and call refetch
when the component mounts, which will trigger the useList
query.
For more information on how to control query execution, you can refer to the React Query documentation (https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/react/reference/useQuery) and the Refine documentation on useList (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useList/).

@kapa.ai could you give me the final code, mixing the 2 answers?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Sure, here's how you can combine the two solutions:
In this combined solution,
useList
will not run until fetch
is set to true
. The first useEffect
hook is used to set fetch
to true
and call refetch
when the component mounts, which will trigger the useList
query. The second useEffect
hook is used to update all_categories
whenever data
changes.
For more information on how to control query execution, you can refer to the React Query documentation (https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/react/reference/useQuery) and the Refine documentation on useList (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/data/useList/).

@kapa.ai rewriting my own login.tsx, i have a code like this
<TextField
{...register("password", {
required: true,
})}
id="password"
margin="normal"
fullWidth
name="password"
label={t("pages.login.fields.password", "Password")}
helperText={errors?.password?.message}
error={!!errors.password}
type="password"
value={null as any}
placeholder="●●●●●●●●"
sx={{
mb: 0,
}}
/>
I would remove the default value from the input. How can I do this?
