How to populate a related field in Edit form with useForm?
Hi, I want to create an edit form which I need to load a related field and make sure it's editable in the form. How can I do it? I seems that by passing a
{ meta: { populate: ['field'] } }
doesn't work. I'm using @nestjsx/crud

Hi @_erichu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To create an edit form with a related field in Refine, you can use the
useForm
and useSelect
hooks. The useForm
hook is used to handle form operations, while the useSelect
hook is used to fetch and display select options inside the form.
Here's an example of how you can do it:
In this example, the useForm
hook is used with the populate
option to fetch the related client
field. The useSelect
hook is then used to fetch and display the client
options in a Select
component.
Please note that the populate
option might not work as expected if the backend does not support it. In such cases, you might need to manually handle the population of related fields. You can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/tutorial/adding-crud-pages/mui/index/#handling-relationships) for more information on how to handle relationships manually.
Also, please note that the above example is based on the Ant Design System. If you're using a different design system, you might need to adjust the code accordingly.

It turned out that
@nestjsx/crud
doesn't support populating any related tables
