Hi @Ashish. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To send form data to a custom URL in a refine application, you can use the useCustomMutation hook along with the useForm hook from refine. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: 1. Set up the form using useForm: - Use the useForm hook to manage the form state and handle form submission. 2. Use useCustomMutation to send data to a custom URL: - Inside the form submission handler, use the useCustomMutation hook to send the form data to your custom URL. Here is an example code snippet based on the knowledge sources:

import React from "react";
import { useForm, useCustomMutation } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const EditUserProfile = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm({
        resource: "/users/me",
        id: "", // Adjust this if necessary
    });

    const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

    const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
        mutate({
            url: `${API_URL}/users/me/profile`,
            method: "patch",
            values,
        });
    };

    return (
        <Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
            <Form {...formProps} onFinish={handleOnFinish} layout="vertical">
                <Form.Item label="Name" name="name">
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item label="Surname" name="surname">
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Button type="primary" htmlType="submit">
                    Save
                </Button>
            </Form>
        </Edit>
    );
};

export default EditUserProfile;

import React from "react";
import { useForm, useCustomMutation } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const EditUserProfile = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm({
        resource: "/users/me",
        id: "", // Adjust this if necessary
    });

    const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

    const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
        mutate({
            url: `${API_URL}/users/me/profile`,
            method: "patch",
            values,
        });
    };

    return (
        <Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
            <Form {...formProps} onFinish={handleOnFinish} layout="vertical">
                <Form.Item label="Name" name="name">
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item label="Surname" name="surname">
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Button type="primary" htmlType="submit">
                    Save
                </Button>
            </Form>
        </Edit>
    );
};

export default EditUserProfile;

Explanation: - useForm: Initializes the form with the resource /users/me. - useCustomMutation: Provides the mutate function to send a custom request. - handleOnFinish: This function is called when the form is submitted. It uses the mutate function to send a PATCH request to the custom URL ${API_URL}/users/me/profile with the form data. For more details, you can refer to the official documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/antd/hooks/form/useForm/#how-can-i-change-the-form-data-before-submitting-it-to-the-api) and the discussion on changing resource URLs (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/discussions/4927). If you need to handle file uploads or other types of data, you might need to adjust the form data handling accordingly. For example, using FormData for file uploads as shown in the multipart upload guide here (https://refine.dev/blog/how-to-multipart-upload). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how do I send my formdata to the custom resource in my data provider

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To send form data to a custom resource in your data provider using refine, you can utilize the useForm hook along with the custom method in your data provider. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: 1. Customize the Data Provider: - First, ensure that your data provider has a custom method to handle custom requests. Here’s an example of how to define a custom method in your data provider:

const dataProvider = {
    // Other methods like getList, getOne, create, update, delete, etc.
    custom: async ({ url, method, filters, sorters, payload, query, headers, meta }) => {
        // Handle the request according to your API requirements.
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method,
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                ...headers,
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload),
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        return { data };
    },
};

const dataProvider = {
    // Other methods like getList, getOne, create, update, delete, etc.
    custom: async ({ url, method, filters, sorters, payload, query, headers, meta }) => {
        // Handle the request according to your API requirements.
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method,
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                ...headers,
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload),
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        return { data };
    },
};

2. Set up the Form using useForm: - Use the useForm hook to manage the form state and handle form submission. 3. Use useCustomMutation to Send Data to the Custom Resource: - Inside the form submission handler, use the useCustomMutation hook to send the form data to your custom resource. Here is an example code snippet:

import React from "react";
import { useForm, useCustomMutation } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const CustomForm = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm({
        resource: "custom-resource",
    });

    const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

    const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
        mutate({
            url: "/custom-endpoint",
            method: "post",
            payload: values,
        });
    };
return (
        <Form {...formProps} onFinish={handleOnFinish} layout="vertical">
            <Form.Item label="Name" name="name">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Form.Item label="Email" name="email">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Button type="primary" htmlType="submit" {...saveButtonProps}>
                Submit
            </Button>
        </Form>
    );
};

export default CustomForm;

import React from "react";
import { useForm, useCustomMutation } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const CustomForm = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm({
        resource: "custom-resource",
    });

    const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

    const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
        mutate({
            url: "/custom-endpoint",
            method: "post",
            payload: values,
        });
    };
return (
        <Form {...formProps} onFinish={handleOnFinish} layout="vertical">
            <Form.Item label="Name" name="name">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Form.Item label="Email" name="email">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Button type="primary" htmlType="submit" {...saveButtonProps}>
                Submit
            </Button>
        </Form>
    );
};

export default CustomForm;

Explanation: - useForm: Initializes the form with the resource custom-resource. - useCustomMutation: Provides the mutate function to send a custom request. - handleOnFinish: This function is called when the form is submitted. It uses the mutate function to send a POST request to the custom URL /custom-endpoint with the form data. For more details, you can refer to the official documentation on customizing the data provider (https://refine.dev/docs/data/data-provider/#custom) and the useForm hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#resource). By following these steps, you can send your form data to a custom resource in your data provider effectively. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai what if i am not using table just a normal form @kapa.ai what if i am not using table just a normal form

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If you are not using a table and just want to update a column using a normal form with the Supabase data provider and Ant Design (antd) library, you can follow these steps: 1. Set up the Supabase Client: - Ensure you have your Supabase client set up as described in the documentation (https://refine.dev/blog/refine-pixels-3#3-set-up-supabaseclient-for-refine--providers). 2. Create a Form to Update the Column: - Use the useForm hook from refine to manage the form state and handle form submission. - Use the useUpdate hook to handle the update operation when the form is submitted. Here is an example code snippet to demonstrate this:

import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const UpdateColumnForm = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm({
        resource: "your_table_name",
    });

    const { mutate } = useUpdate();

    const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
        mutate({
            resource: "your_table_name",
            id: values.id, // Ensure you have the ID of the record you want to update
            values,
        });
    };

    return (

            </Form.Item>
            <Form.Item label="Name" name="name" rules={[{ required: true }]}>
                <Input />

                Update
            </Button>
        </Form>
    );
};

export default UpdateColumnForm;

Explanation: - useForm: Initializes the form with the resource your_table_name. - useUpdate: Provides the mutate function to handle the update operation. - handleOnFinish: This function is called when the form is submitted. It uses the mutate function to update the record in the Supabase table. For more details, you can refer to the useForm documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#resource) and the useUpdate documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-update/). By following these steps, you can update a column in your Supabase table using a normal form in a refine application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
