After running my create function, how do I trigger the list function to update the list?

Hi @script4559. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you might find what you're looking for in the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Hey @script4559, bot really disappointed me with this one 😅 If your resources match, it should automatically invalidate your list queries and they will trigger a refetch for the active (mounted) ones. If the resources does not match, you can use the useInvalidate hook. Check out the docs here https://refine.dev/docs/core/hooks/data/use-invalidate

😂😂 Oh My resources do not match. I’m still having a hard time understanding the resources concept so I just use my endpoint url as the resource in the hooks instead of the ones passed into the <Refine> component at top level Gotcha I’ll check it out, thanks

Check these docs: General Concepts > Resource Concept https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/general-concepts/#resource-concept Core API > Refine Component > resources https://refine.dev/docs/core/refine-component/#resources the routes you pass to the action properties are for the router integration not for the API connection actually. These values will be used by the router features (such as inferring the current action, id and the resource from the route or navigation after form submissions and sidebar menus.) The one related with the data is just the name of the resource which will be passed to the data hook and then to the data provider's corresponding method. Defining resources in the <Refine /> component will save you from explicitly passing the name of the resource every time in a specific resource route. For example, if you define a route with name posts and if that has list: "/posts", when you are in the /posts route your useTable hooks will infer the resource name automatically. Check out the related section in the routing docs: https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/routing

so this is how what the docs portray basically @aliemirs

@kapa.ai my api endpoint routes does not follow the standard REST Api way of having one route to hand all methods(post, get, put, etc.). How can I make data provider work for me?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine provides a way to handle non-standard REST API endpoints or connections with external resources through the custom method in the data provider. This method allows you to define custom parameters like URL, CRUD methods, and configurations. Here's an example of how you can define the custom method:

custom: async ({  
 url,  
 method,  
 filters,  
 sorters,  
 payload,  
 query,  
 headers,  
 meta,  
}) => {  
 // You can handle the request according to your API requirements.  
  
 return {  
 data,  
 };  
};

custom: async ({  
 url,  
 method,  
 filters,  
 sorters,  
 payload,  
 query,  
 headers,  
 meta,  
}) => {  
 // You can handle the request according to your API requirements.  
  
 return {  
 data,  
 };  
};

Refine will consume this method using the useCustom data hook. If you want to modify the API endpoint path for a specific resource, you would need to modify your dataProvider to handle this. You can extend the REST data provider and add your custom functions by overriding the methods of the data provider. The simplest way to do this is to use the Spread syntax. Here's an example:

import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
  
const simpleRestProvider = dataProvider("API_URL");  
const myDataProvider = {  
 ...simpleRestProvider,  
 update: async ({ resource, id, variables }) => {  
 const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;  
  
 const { data } = await httpClient.put(url, variables);  
  
 return {  
 data,  
 };  
 },  
};  
  
<Refine dataProvider={myDataProvider} />;

import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
  
const simpleRestProvider = dataProvider("API_URL");  
const myDataProvider = {  
 ...simpleRestProvider,  
 update: async ({ resource, id, variables }) => {  
 const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;  
  
 const { data } = await httpClient.put(url, variables);  
  
 return {  
 data,  
 };  
 },  
};  
  
<Refine dataProvider={myDataProvider} />;

In this example, @refinedev/simple-rest uses the PATCH HTTP method for update, and it's changed to PUT without forking the whole data provider. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider).
