Cannot find name 'IIdentity when using the hook useGetIdentity
import { useGetIdentity } from "@refinedev/core";
const { data: identity } = useGetIdentity<IIdentity>();
I am using the hook like this, but I faced with the problem that Cannot find name 'IIdentity, how to fix this problem? should the interface IIdentity be defiend by myself?

Hi @zion_48046. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, you're correct. The
IIdentity
in your code is a TypeScript interface that you need to define yourself. This interface should match the shape of the data returned by the getIdentity
method in your authProvider
.
For example, if your getIdentity
method returns an object with id
and fullName
properties like this:
Then you should define your IIdentity
interface like this:
And then you can use it with the useGetIdentity
hook:
This way, TypeScript will know the type of the identity
data and you will get autocompletion and type checking benefits.
For more information, you can refer to the useGetIdentity documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/hooks/auth/use-get-identity/).
