Hi @jash.s. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The error message you're seeing is because the resource property in the getToPath function is expecting an IResourceItem object, but you're providing a string ("roles"). The IResourceItem interface is defined as follows:

interface IResourceComponents {  
 list?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 create?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 edit?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 show?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
}  
  
interface IResourceItem extends IResourceComponents {  
 name: string;  
 identifier?: string;  
 meta?: MetaProps;  
}

interface IResourceComponents {  
 list?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 create?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 edit?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
 show?:  
 | string  
 | React.ComponentType<any>  
 | { component: React.ComponentType<any>; path: string };  
}  
  
interface IResourceItem extends IResourceComponents {  
 name: string;  
 identifier?: string;  
 meta?: MetaProps;  
}

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/resource/useResource/) So, you need to provide an object that matches the IResourceItem interface instead of a string. If you don't have the necessary information to construct an IResourceItem, you may need to fetch it or derive it from your application state. If you're trying to navigate to a different page in your application, consider using the useNavigation hook's edit method, which is designed for this purpose. Here's an example:

import { EditButton } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const MyEditComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <EditButton  
 resourceNameOrRouteName="categories"  
 recordItemId="2"  
 />  
 );  
};

import { EditButton } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const MyEditComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <EditButton  
 resourceNameOrRouteName="categories"  
 recordItemId="2"  
 />  
 );  
};

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/buttons/edit-button/) In this example, clicking the button triggers the edit method of useNavigation and then redirects the app to the /edit endpoint of the given resource name. Note that the resourceNameOrRouteName prop is deprecated and you should use the resource prop instead. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

i want to re direct to a list page of roles resource @kapa.ai

kapa.ai•11mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To redirect to the list page of the "roles" resource, you can use the ListButton component from Refine. Here's an example:

import { ListButton } from "@refinedev/antd";  // or "@refinedev/mui", "@refinedev/chakra-ui", "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
  
const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <ListButton resource="roles" />;  
};

import { ListButton } from "@refinedev/antd";  // or "@refinedev/mui", "@refinedev/chakra-ui", "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
  
const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <ListButton resource="roles" />;  
};

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/list-button/) In this example, clicking the button will trigger the list method of useNavigation and then redirect the app to the list action path of the "roles" resource. If you have multiple resources with the same name, you can pass the identifier instead of the name of the resource. It will only be used as the main matching key for the resource, data provider methods will still work with the name of the resource defined in the <Refine/> component. For more information, refer to the identifier section of the <Refine/> component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/components/refine-config/#identifier). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

<Button onClick={() => list("roles")} type='dashed' block > Edit Permissions </Button> why is this not working @kapa.ai

kapa.ai•11mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The list method from useNavigation hook is not directly callable from an onClick event of a button. The list method is used internally by the ListButton component to handle navigation. If you want to create a button that redirects to the list page of the "roles" resource, you should use the ListButton component provided by Refine. Here's how you can do it:

import { ListButton } from "@refinedev/antd";  // or "@refinedev/mui", "@refinedev/chakra-ui", "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
  
const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <ListButton resource="roles" />;  
};

import { ListButton } from "@refinedev/antd";  // or "@refinedev/mui", "@refinedev/chakra-ui", "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
  
const MyListComponent = () => {  
 return <ListButton resource="roles" />;  
};

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/list-button/) In this example, clicking the button will trigger the list method of useNavigation and then redirect the app to the list action path of the "roles" resource. If you want to customize the appearance of the button, you can do so by passing props to the ListButton component, as it supports all the props of the underlying button component of the UI library you're using (Ant Design, Material-UI, Chakra UI, or Mantine). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Sorted the issue as was not passing the above in resource properly

quickest-silver•11mo ago

Hey @jash.s, sorry for the confusion, useGetToPath's resource propert expects a resource item (object) instead of name (string). But the way you used the useNavigation's list method should be working as you expected. I'm curious why it didn't worked. Can you also share the roles resource and how you called the useNavigation? BTW, we know expecting a resource object is not very convenient, in the next couple of days we'll release an update in useGo to address this issue and accept resource and action to make it easier to navigate with just using these values. Now let's find out what's the issue with useNavigation and I'll also explain how can you use useGetToPath with a resource object below: - First of all, if you're already on a route of resource roles, you can omit the resource property and let it infer from the route. - Second, you can use the select method of the useResource hook, like:

const { select } = useResource();
const getToPath = useGetToPath();
const go = useGo();

const onClick = () => {
  go({
    to: select("roles"),
    action: "list",
    meta: { ... },
  });
}

const { select } = useResource();
const getToPath = useGetToPath();
const go = useGo();

const onClick = () => {
  go({
    to: select("roles"),
    action: "list",
    meta: { ... },
  });
}

The proposed update in the useGo will work like this:

const go = useGo();

go({
  resource: "roles",
  action: "list",
  ...
});

const go = useGo();

go({
  resource: "roles",
  action: "list",
  ...
});

Nice to hear that 🚀

@aliemirs https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useGetToPath/#basic-usage this has the same implementation which i have wat

useGetToPath | refine

useGetToPath is a hook that returns a function that composes the URL for the given resource and the action by using the URL parameters and the meta property if provided.

import { SettingOutlined } from "@ant-design/icons"; const RolesResource = { name: "roles", identifier: 'roles', list: "/roles", show: "/roles/show/:id", create: "roles/create", options: { label: "Roles", icon: <SettingOutlined></SettingOutlined> }
} export default RolesResource @aliemirs

quickest-silver•11mo ago

Yeah useGetToPath's documentation is wrong here, sorry for that. I'll send an update to it today 🙏 Still, when you tried to use useNavigation it should have worked 🤔 But when you pass the resource item instead of name, useGetToPath works right?
