how to use graphql with react hook forms

14 Replies

Hi @dc_alexyt. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Refine provides a robust GraphQL implementation and also supports integration with React Hook Form for form management. Here's how you can use them together: 1. GraphQL with Refine: Refine's GraphQL data provider package uses gql-query-builder and graphql-request under the hood. This allows users to construct custom queries and mutations for their needs. You can define your own queries and mutations just by passing the necessary fields, operations, and variables to the data hooks of refine. Here's an example of using the @refinedev/graphql package with refine:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  
  
const client = new GraphQLClient("API_URL");  
  
const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(client)}  
 /* ... */  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  
  
const client = new GraphQLClient("API_URL");  
  
const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(client)}  
 /* ... */  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

React Hook Form with Refine: Refine offers a React Hook Form adapter that allows you to seamlessly integrate the React Hook Form library with refine. The library provides a set of useful components and hooks, such as the controller component and the useForm hook, that let us register our form component into the hook, thus making its values available for both validation and submission. Here's a basic usage of the useForm hook:

const {  
 control,  
 handleSubmit,  
 watch,  
 formState: { errors },  
} = useForm({  
 mode: "onChange",  
 defaultValues,  
});

const {  
 control,  
 handleSubmit,  
 watch,  
 formState: { errors },  
} = useForm({  
 mode: "onChange",  
 defaultValues,  
});

(Source: React Hook Form Validation with Complete Examples (https://refine.dev/blog/react-hook-form-validation-examples#integrating-react-hook-forms)) To use GraphQL with React Hook Forms in Refine, you would typically fetch data using GraphQL queries/mutations and then use that data within your forms managed by React Hook Form. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Refine Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) and Refine Blog (https://refine.dev/blog). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai do you have example with gql and react hook forms?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the provided extracts do not contain a specific example that combines GraphQL and React Hook Forms in Refine. However, I can guide you on how you might approach this: 1. Fetch data with GraphQL: You can use Refine's GraphQL data provider to fetch data. Here's an example of how to set up the GraphQL data provider:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  
  
const client = new GraphQLClient("API_URL");  
  
const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(client)}  
 /* ... */  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  
  
const client = new GraphQLClient("API_URL");  
  
const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(client)}  
 /* ... */  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

Use the fetched data in a form: Once you have your data, you can use it in a form with React Hook Form. Refine provides a @refinedev/react-hook-form adapter to use with React Hook Form. Although the extracts do not provide a specific example of using GraphQL data in a form, they do show how to use the useForm hook from React Hook Form:

const {  
 control,  
 handleSubmit,  
 watch,  
 formState: { errors },  
} = useForm({  
 mode: "onChange",  
 defaultValues,  
});

const {  
 control,  
 handleSubmit,  
 watch,  
 formState: { errors },  
} = useForm({  
 mode: "onChange",  
 defaultValues,  
});
