Hi @jakshire01. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- You can add the <CreateButton /> component to your headerButtons array to display it alongside the ImportButton and ExportButton. The CreateButton component uses the create method from useNavigation under the hood and can be useful to redirect the app to the create page route of resource. Here is how you can do it:

import { List, CreateButton, ImportButton, ExportButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
import { useExport } from "@refinedev/core";

// your other imports and code...

const { triggerExport, isLoading: exportLoading } = useExport<IPost>();

return (
  <List
    headerButtons={[
      <CreateButton />,
      <ImportButton {...importProps} />,
      <ExportButton onClick={triggerExport} loading={exportLoading} />,
    ]}
  >
    {/* Rest of your code */}
  </List>
);

import { List, CreateButton, ImportButton, ExportButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library
import { useExport } from "@refinedev/core";

// your other imports and code...

const { triggerExport, isLoading: exportLoading } = useExport<IPost>();

return (
  <List
    headerButtons={[
      <CreateButton />,
      <ImportButton {...importProps} />,
      <ExportButton onClick={triggerExport} loading={exportLoading} />,
    ]}
  >
    {/* Rest of your code */}
  </List>
);

Please replace @refinedev/antd with the UI library you are using (@refinedev/mui for Material UI or @refinedev/mantine for Mantine). For more information, you can refer to the documentation for CreateButton (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/create-button/), ImportButton (https://refine.dev/docs/api-references/components/buttons/import-button), and ExportButton (https://refine.dev/docs/api-references/components/buttons/export-button). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can place the <RefreshButton /> component in the Space component where you want it to appear. Here's an example of how you can do it:

import { RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

// your other imports and code...

return (
  <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
    <Form

      onValuesChange={handleFormChange}
      layout="vertical"
      wrapperCol={{ md: 18, lg: 16 }}
      initialValues={{
        items: [{}],
      }}
      className="bold-form"
    >
      <Space
        direction="horizontal"
        style={{

        <RefreshButton />
      </Space>

@kapa.ai whats the use of refresh button

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The <RefreshButton /> component in Refine is used to refresh or update the data shown on the page. It triggers the useInvalidate hook which invalidates the cache of a specific resource or the entire cache of the application. This results in fetching the latest data from the server. Here's an example of how it's used:

import { RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const MyRefreshComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <RefreshButton  
 resource="posts"  
 recordItemId="1"  
 />  
 );  
};

import { RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const MyRefreshComponent = () => {  
 return (  
 <RefreshButton  
 resource="posts"  
 recordItemId="1"  
 />  
 );  
};

In this example, clicking the button will trigger the useInvalidate hook and then fetch the record whose resource is "posts" and whose id is "1". For more information, you can refer to the documentation for RefreshButton (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/refresh-button/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai <Space style={{ justifyContent: "flex-end", marginTop: "auto", display: "flex", flexDirection: "column", }} > <RefreshButton /> </Space> if i use refresh just like this will it invalidate and fetch resource

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, using the <RefreshButton /> component without any props will still trigger the useInvalidate hook and refresh the data. By default, it will read the resource and id information from the route. Here's an example:

<Space
  style={{
    justifyContent: "flex-end",
    marginTop: "auto",
    display: "flex",
    flexDirection: "column",
  }}
>
  <RefreshButton />
</Space>

<Space
  style={{
    justifyContent: "flex-end",
    marginTop: "auto",
    display: "flex",
    flexDirection: "column",
  }}
>
  <RefreshButton />
</Space>

In this case, clicking the button will trigger the useInvalidate hook and then fetch the record whose resource and id are inferred from the current route. For more information, you can refer to the documentation for RefreshButton (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/refresh-button/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai where best to use refresh button in list page or create page

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The <RefreshButton /> is typically used in a List page or a Show page. In a List page, the <RefreshButton /> can be used to refresh the entire list of records from the server. This is useful when you want to ensure that you have the latest data, especially in a data-intensive application where the data changes frequently. In a Show page, the <RefreshButton /> can be used to refresh a specific record. This is useful when you want to ensure that you are viewing the latest version of a specific record. While you can technically use the <RefreshButton /> in a Create page, it's not common because you're usually creating a new record, and there's no existing data to refresh. Here's an example of how you can use it in a List page:

import { List, RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const PostList: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <List  
 headerButtons={<RefreshButton />}  
 >  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </List>  
 );  
};

import { List, RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const PostList: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <List  
 headerButtons={<RefreshButton />}  
 >  
 <p>Rest of your page here</p>  
 </List>  
 );  
};

And in a Show page:

import { useShow, RefreshButton, Show } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {  
 const { queryResult } = useShow<IPost>();  
 const { data, isLoading } = queryResult;  
 const record = data?.data;  
  
 return (  
 <Show  
 isLoading={isLoading}  
 headerButtons={<RefreshButton />}  
 >  
 <Title level={5}>Id</Title>  
 <Text>{record?.id}</Text>  
  
 <Title level={5}>Title</Title>  
 <Text>{record?.title}</Text>  
 </Show>  
 );  
};

import { useShow, RefreshButton, Show } from "@refinedev/antd"; // or "@refinedev/mui" or "@refinedev/mantine" based on your UI library

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {  
 const { queryResult } = useShow<IPost>();  
 const { data, isLoading } = queryResult;  
 const record = data?.data;  
  
 return (  
 <Show  
 isLoading={isLoading}  
 headerButtons={<RefreshButton />}  
 >  
 <Title level={5}>Id</Title>  
 <Text>{record?.id}</Text>  
  
 <Title level={5}>Title</Title>  
 <Text>{record?.title}</Text>  
 </Show>  
 );  
};

Please replace @refinedev/antd with the UI library you are using (@refinedev/mui for Material UI or @refinedev/mantine for Mantine). For more information, you can refer to the documentation for RefreshButton (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/refresh-button/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Iam using export like this const { triggerExport, isLoading: exportLoading } = useExport<IInvoice>(); return ( <> <Card style={{ marginBottom: "36px", width: "fit-content", boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0.1, 0.3)", }} > <Filter formProps={searchFormProps} /> </Card> <List headerButtons={[ <RefreshButton />, <ImportButton {...importProps} />, <ExportButton onClick={triggerExport} loading={exportLoading} />, <CreateButton />, ]} But my IInvoice interface has other interfaces linked it looks like this export interface IItem { _id: string; item_name: string; description: string; quantity: number; pricePerItem: number; total: number; } export interface IInvoice { _id: string; name: string; invoiceDate: Date; client: IClient; contact: IContact; discountPercentage: number; taxPercentage: number; custom_id: string; note: string; currency: string; items: IItem[]; status: Status; total: number; subtotal: number; } and when i export i get items as [object Object],[object Object] how can i fix this

kapa.ai•5mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The useExport hook in Refine exports data as it is. If a field in your data is an object or an array of objects (like items in your case), it will be converted to a string as [object Object] in the exported CSV file. This is because CSV is a flat structure and doesn't support nested objects or arrays. To fix this, you need to flatten your data before exporting it. You can do this by creating a custom export function that transforms your data into a flat structure. Here's an example of how you can do it:

const customExport = async () => {
  const { data } = await dataProvider.getList<IInvoice>({
    resource: "invoices",
  });

  const flatData = data.map((invoice) => ({
    ...invoice,
    items: invoice.items.map((item) => item.item_name).join(", "),
  }));

  const csvContent = parse(flatData, { fields: Object.keys(flatData[0]) });
  download(csvContent, "invoices.csv", "text/csv");
};

return (
  <>
    <Card
      style={{
        marginBottom: "36px",
        width: "fit-content",
        boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0.1, 0.3)",
      }}
    >
      <Filter formProps={searchFormProps} />
    </Card>

    <List
      headerButtons={[
        <RefreshButton />,
        <ImportButton {...importProps} />,
        <ExportButton onClick={customExport} loading={exportLoading} />,
        <CreateButton />,
      ]}
    >
      {/* Rest of your code */}
    </List>
  </>
);

const customExport = async () => {
  const { data } = await dataProvider.getList<IInvoice>({
    resource: "invoices",
  });

  const flatData = data.map((invoice) => ({
    ...invoice,
    items: invoice.items.map((item) => item.item_name).join(", "),
  }));

  const csvContent = parse(flatData, { fields: Object.keys(flatData[0]) });
  download(csvContent, "invoices.csv", "text/csv");
};

return (
  <>
    <Card
      style={{
        marginBottom: "36px",
        width: "fit-content",
        boxShadow: "0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0.1, 0.3)",
      }}
    >
      <Filter formProps={searchFormProps} />
    </Card>

    <List
      headerButtons={[
        <RefreshButton />,
        <ImportButton {...importProps} />,
        <ExportButton onClick={customExport} loading={exportLoading} />,
        <CreateButton />,
      ]}
    >
      {/* Rest of your code */}
    </List>
  </>
);

In this example, customExport is a function that fetches the data, flattens it, and then exports it as a CSV file. The items field is transformed into a string by joining the item_name of each item with a comma. Please note that you'll need to install and import the parse function from the json2csv package and the download function from the downloadjs package:

npm install json2csv downloadjs

npm install json2csv downloadjs

import { parse } from "json2csv";
import download from "downloadjs";

import { parse } from "json2csv";
import download from "downloadjs";

This is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it based on your needs. For instance, if you have more complex nested fields, you might need to flatten them as well. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
