How to make API call using Data Provider?
Considering the following code, how do I make an API call to a specific endpoint such as
stores/block
using my data provider's "custom" method?

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

To make an API call to a specific endpoint using the "custom" method of your data provider in Refine, you can follow the structure provided in the extracts. However, the extracts do not directly provide an example of using the "custom" method for making API calls. They do outline the structure of a data provider and mention a "custom" method, but without a specific example for its implementation.
Given this limitation, I can guide you on a general approach based on the structure of data providers in Refine:
1. Define the Custom Method in Your Data Provider: First, ensure your data provider includes the "custom" method. This method should be capable of making HTTP requests to your API.
2. Use the Custom Method: In your component, you would typically use a hook or directly call the data provider's custom method to make the API call. Since the extracts do not provide a direct example of using hooks with the "custom" method, a general approach would be to directly invoke this method within your
deactivateStore
function.
Here's a conceptual approach, assuming you have access to the data provider instance:
Please note, the above code is a conceptual guide. You'll need to adjust it according to your data provider's implementation and the specifics of your API.
For more detailed guidance on implementing custom methods in your data provider or using Refine's data fetching hooks effectively, I recommend consulting the Refine documentation directly, especially the sections related to data providers and data fetching: Refine Data Provider Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider/).
