Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information on how to set the
responseType
to 'arraybuffer'
when using useCustom
in refine.
However, you can refer to the useCustom documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom/) for more details on how to use this hook. You might also find it useful to check the custom method in the dataProvider (https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider#custom), which is used by useCustom
.
Remember, useCustom
is a hook provided by refine for making custom requests. It's possible that the responseType
can be set in the config
object or in the custom
method of your dataProvider
, but without specific information, I can't provide a definitive answer.

@kapa.ai do you have any information about responseType options
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information about
responseType
options in the context of refine.
However, responseType
is a common configuration option in HTTP client libraries like axios
and fetch
. It's used to indicate the type of data that the server will respond with options like 'arraybuffer', 'blob', 'json', etc.
In the context of refine, such configurations would typically be made in the dataProvider
or in a custom hook like useCustom
. But without specific examples or documentation in the provided sources, I can't provide a definitive answer.
For more information, you might find it useful to refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/), particularly the sections on data providers (https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider) and hooks (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks).

@kapa.ai I got this to work by piggy backing on to the headers and then overiding the responseType in the data provider
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

Great! You've managed to override the
responseType
in the data provider by checking if it's provided in the headers. Here's your solution formatted:
In this code, you first set a default responseType
of "json". Then, if responseType
is provided in the headers, you override the default value with the provided one. Finally, you pass this responseType
to the axios request configuration.
This is a clever way to customize the responseType
for individual requests. Just remember that this relies on the responseType
being passed in the headers, which is not a standard use of HTTP headers. It's more of a workaround for passing extra configuration to your data provider.

@kapa.ai is there any way to pass the responsType into the dataprovider methods
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the provided knowledge sources, there's no direct way to pass
responseType
into the custom
method of the data provider in refine. The parameters that the custom
method accepts are url
, method
, filters
, sorters
, payload
, query
, headers
, and meta
as shown in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider#custom).
However, you've found a workaround by passing responseType
in the headers
object, and then using it in your data provider. This is a clever solution, but it's important to note that this is not a standard use of HTTP headers.
Another possible approach could be to use the meta
parameter, which is designed to pass additional information to data provider methods. You could pass responseType
in the meta
object, similar to how you're currently passing it in headers
. Here's an example:
In this code, responseType
is extracted from the meta
object, with a default value of "json" if it's not provided. You would then use responseType
in your axios request configuration, similar to how you're currently using it.
Remember, this is just a suggestion based on the information available in the provided sources. Always refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/) for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

@kapa.ai that works extending with meta
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm glad to hear that the solution worked for you! Using the
meta
parameter to pass additional information like responseType
to your data provider methods is a flexible and powerful feature of refine.
Here's the code snippet for reference:
In this code, responseType
is extracted from the meta
object, with a default value of "json" if it's not provided. You would then use responseType
in your axios request configuration.
Remember, always refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/) for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
