Hi @avangeous. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you're trying to use the
create
method from the useNavigation
hook in refine. This method is used to redirect the app to the create
action path of a given resource.
In your case, you're trying to use it within an onClick
handler for a dropdown menu item. The issue you're facing might be due to how you're invoking the create
method.
In your first example, you're invoking the create
method immediately when defining the items
object. This is why it redirects to /a/create
upon loading the page.
In your second example, you're correctly using an arrow function to delay the invocation of the create
method until the onClick
event is fired. However, if it's not working as expected, it might be due to how the create
method is defined or accessed.
Unfortunately, the provided extracts do not contain specific examples of using the create
method from the useNavigation
hook within an onClick
handler for a dropdown menu item. Therefore, I can't provide a confident answer based on the provided extracts.
I would recommend checking the official refine documentation for more information on how to use the useNavigation
hook and its create
method:
- useNavigation
hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/)
- CreateButton
component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/create-button/)
These resources might provide more insight into how to correctly use the create
method within an onClick
handler.

@kapa.ai How can I use useNavigation to redirect to a create page on click?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
useNavigation
hook in refine provides several methods for programmatically navigating in your application, including the create
method. This method can be used to redirect the app to the create
action path of a given resource.
Here's a basic example of how you can use the create
method from useNavigation
in an onClick
handler:
In this example, clicking the button will trigger the create
method and redirect the app to the create
action path of the 'posts' resource.
Remember to replace 'posts' with the name of the resource you want to navigate to. The create
method takes the name of the resource as its argument.
For more information, refer to the useNavigation
hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/).

@kapa.ai How do I suppress a CreateButton's onClick?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
CreateButton
component in refine doesn't directly accept an onClick
prop to override its default behavior. The button's main purpose is to redirect the app to the create
action path of a given resource when clicked.
If you want to suppress the onClick
behavior of the CreateButton
, you might need to create a custom button component and use the useNavigation
hook to control the navigation manually based on your own conditions.
Here's a basic example:
In this example, the handleClick
function prevents the default button click behavior and then checks a condition. If the condition is met, it uses the create
method from useNavigation
to redirect to the create
action path of the resource.
Please note that this is a workaround and might not cover all use cases. For more information, refer to the useNavigation
hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/hooks/navigation/useNavigation/).

@kapa.ai For CreateButton specifically, not Button
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
CreateButton
component in refine doesn't directly accept an onClick
prop to override its default behavior. However, you can use the disabled
prop to prevent the button from being clicked.
Here's an example:
In this example, the CreateButton
is disabled and won't trigger a navigation when clicked.
If you need more control over the onClick
behavior, you might need to create a custom button component and use the useNavigation
hook to control the navigation manually based on your own conditions.
For more information, refer to the CreateButton
component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/components/buttons/create-button/).

Hello @avangeous, make sure you defined resources correctly. This function won't work if you don't have defined resource. If it works for the first one, but not the 2nd one, it should be about resource definition.\
