Hi @gordo_420.6969. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To configure a creation form to send a POST request to a custom endpoint using refine's strapi data provider and refine's react-form-hook
useForm
, you can follow these steps:
1. Import the necessary components and hooks from refine and react-hook-form:
(Source: Dynamic Forms with React Hook Form (https://refine.dev/blog/dynamic-forms-in-react-hook-form/))
2. Use the useForm
hook to handle form submission and validation. Destructure the saveButtonProps
variable from the useForm
hook and add it to the Create component:
(Source: Dynamic Forms with React Hook Form (https://refine.dev/blog/dynamic-forms-in-react-hook-form/))
3. If you need to modify the form data before it is sent to the API, you can do so in the onFinishHandler
function:
(Source: useForm Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/react-hook-form/useForm/))
4. To set the resource attribute that is sent to your dataProvider, you can specify the resource
attribute in the useForm
hook:
(Source: Discord support thread: Setting resource for data provider (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1127194180532318228))
Please replace "yourResourceName"
with the name of your resource. This will ensure that the resource
attribute is set correctly when the create
method of your dataProvider
is called.
Remember to replace the placeholders in the code snippets with your actual data and logic.

the provided anwser do not answer the original question. how to starget a custom url when submitting the form? @kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry for the confusion, but based on the provided extracts, there isn't a direct way to target a custom URL when submitting the form using the
useForm
hook in refine. The useForm
hook works with the dataProvider
prop to handle API requests, and the API endpoint is usually determined by the resource
prop in the <Refine>
component or the resource
attribute in the useForm
hook.
However, if you need to target a custom URL, you might need to create a custom data provider that can handle this requirement. The data provider is responsible for making the actual API requests, so you can implement the logic for targeting a custom URL in the create
method of your custom data provider.
Please refer to the refine's data provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/providers/data-provider/) for more information on how to create a custom data provider.
