I did but the bit replies with code that isn't valid , the parameters it tells me to change aren't available And my use case is fairly simple, can you help me with it?

For custom requests, you can use useCustom hook. https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom/ Check the docs here.

useCustom | Refine

useCustom is used to send custom query requests using the Tanstack Query advantages. It is an extended version of TanStack Query's useQuery and not only supports all features of the mutation but also adds some extra features.

https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider/#multiple-data-providers You can use simple-rest data provider additionally to do custom requests. And speccify your data provider in useCustom hook.

Data Provider | Refine

Data provider acts as a data layer for your app, making HTTP requests and encapsulating how the data is retrieved. The methods of these requests are then consumed by Refine via data hooks.

How would I pair it with useForm?

sunny-green•7mo ago

You need to have create and update methods of data provider for useForm. Do not expect AI to give you fully working example. It's pointing to right direction. I also suggest reading our guides, I'm sure it will help you a lot: https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/general-concepts/

I actually read the guide thoroughly, but I had an idea that I need to use useForm hook for the forms Coz it gives a lot of the formProps and button props

sunny-green•7mo ago

Yeah, that's true

foreign-sapphire•7mo ago

But as of now , you told me that I need to use use custom hook for custom request? And then handle all the formProps and all on my own Can't I somehow intercept the useForm request and send it to a url that I prefer?

sunny-green•7mo ago

you can use useForm, if your data provider has create and update methods.

foreign-sapphire•7mo ago

I understand, but that might not be the case always Could you please answer that

sunny-green•7mo ago

You can define useForm request in create and update methods in your data provider.

Seems like this is the only way, fine I'll do that only
