Customize Strapi V4 DataProvider methods
Can I easily customize only the
getMany
method for Strapi V4 to always populate=*
on every request that it makes?
I currently don't have a dataProvider.ts
file. I am using the Strapi DataProvider export directly only passing in the URL3 Replies

Yes, you can customize the
getMany
method for Strapi V4 to always populate=*
on every request that it makes. However, you would need to create a custom dataProvider
to achieve this. Here's how you can do it:
First, you need to import the original Strapi dataProvider and axios from the @pankod/refine-strapi
and axios
packages respectively. Then, you can create a new dataProvider that wraps the original one and modifies the getMany
method.
Here's an example of how you can do this:
In this example, the customDataProvider
uses all methods from the originalDataProvider
, but it overrides the getMany
method to always include populate: "*"
. You can replace getMany
with any other method you want to customize.
Remember to replace API_URL
with your actual API URL.
Please note that this is a simplified example and might need adjustments based on your actual use case. For more details on how these methods work, you can refer to the dataProvider
API reference (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/core/providers/data-provider/).
