Refine React hook form useForm hook not using the proper resource path unless specified manually
Hello, useForm from @refinedev/react-hook-form doesn't seem to be detecting the route path and it keep using resource name unless I specify resource manually. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, below are the screenshots of my project

Hi @Cavdy. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but as an AI, I'm unable to view screenshots or other images. However, I can provide some guidance based on the information you've provided.
The
useForm
hook in Refine uses the resource
parameter to determine the API endpoint path. By default, it reads the resource
value from the current URL. If the resource
is passed, the id
from the current URL will be ignored because it may belong to a different resource. To retrieve the id
value from the current URL, you can use the useParsed
hook and pass the id
value to the useForm
hook.
Here's an example of how you can do this:
If you're using a router integration, Refine should be able to infer the resource
, action
, and id
from the current route and provide them to the useForm
hook. This should prevent the need for passing explicit resource
, action
, and id
props to the hooks including useForm
.
If you're still having issues, it would be helpful to know more about your current setup and the specific problem you're encountering.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-form#resource) and the Refine Github issues (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/3726) for similar problems and solutions.

@kapa.ai passing the resource manually works, but does it mean that refine router can't read the current url when using refine react hook form?
@kapa.ai any reason why useForm doesn't detect current url automatically?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

The
useForm
hook in Refine is designed to infer the resource
, action
, and id
from the current route when a router integration is made. This is to provide them to the useForm
hook and prevent the need for passing explicit resource
, action
, and id
props to the hooks including useForm
.
(Source: Refine Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/forms#integration-with-routers))
However, there could be several reasons why useForm
might not be detecting the current URL automatically:
1. Router Integration: If you haven't integrated a router, useForm
won't be able to infer the resource
, action
, and id
from the current route. Make sure you have a router integration in place.
2. Custom Routes: If you're using custom routes that don't follow the standard Refine resource/action/id pattern, useForm
might not be able to correctly infer the necessary values.
3. Explicit Props: If you're passing explicit resource
, action
, and id
props to useForm
, these will override any values inferred from the route.
If you're still having issues, it would be helpful to review your router setup and any custom routes you might be using. You can also check the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/forms#integration-with-routers) for more information on how useForm
works with routers.

@kapa.ai I am using nextjs pages and I have nextjs router provider but it still doesn't detect current url. Note I didn't configure the setup myself, it is an example setup from create refine
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If you're using Next.js with Refine and the
useForm
hook isn't detecting the current URL automatically, it could be due to a few reasons.
Firstly, ensure that you have installed the @refinedev/nextjs-router
package. This package provides easy integration between Refine and Next.js. You can install it using npm, pnpm, or yarn:
(Source: Refine Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/next-js))
Secondly, if you're using the legacy router provider, it can be imported from @refinedev/nextjs-router/legacy
for the /pages
directory and @refinedev/nextjs-router/legacy-app
for the /app
directory and passed to the legacyRouterProvider
prop of the Refine
component.
If you're still having issues, it would be helpful to review your router setup and any custom routes you might be using. You can also check the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/next-js) for more information on how useForm
works with Next.js.
If the issue persists, it might be a good idea to raise an issue on the Refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/pankod/refine/issues) with a detailed description of your problem and the steps to reproduce it. The maintainers or the community might be able to provide more specific help.
