To set up a clone button in a list view using Ant Design (
import { CloneButton, List, useModalForm, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Modal, Space, Table } from "antd";
const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>();
const {
modalProps: cloneModalProps,
formProps: cloneFormProps,
show: cloneModalShow,
} = useModalForm<IPost>({
action: "clone",
});

antd
) with refine, you need to follow these steps:
1. Import Necessary Components and Hooks:
Import List
, useTable
, and CloneButton
from @refinedev/antd
, and Table
from antd
.
2. Define the List Component:
Create a list component that uses useTable
to fetch and display data in a table format.
3. Add the Clone Button:
Add the CloneButton
to the actions column of the table. Ensure you pass the recordItemId
to the CloneButton
to specify which record to clone.
Here is a complete example based on the provided knowledge sources:
Additional Settings
- Record Item ID:
Ensure that the recordItemId
is correctly passed to the CloneButton
. This ID is used to append the record ID to the end of the route path. Learn more (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/clone-button/#recorditemid).
- Resource:
If you need to specify a different resource, you can use the resource
prop. By default, it redirects to the inferred resource's clone action path. Learn more (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/clone-button/#resource).
- Access Control:
If you have access control requirements, you can use the accessControl
prop to enable or disable the button based on user permissions. Learn more (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/clone-button/#accesscontrol).
Example with Modal Form
If you want to open the clone form in a modal, you can use the useModalForm
hook:
```jsx
import React from "react";import { CloneButton, List, useModalForm, useTable } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Modal, Space, Table } from "antd";
const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>();
const {
modalProps: cloneModalProps,
formProps: cloneFormProps,
show: cloneModalShow,
} = useModalForm<IPost>({
action: "clone",
});
return (
<>
<List>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column dataIndex=" ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai what about in resources? how do I specifiy the action path for clone action?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To specify the action path for the clone action in your resources, you need to define the
clone
property in your resource configuration. This property should point to the component that handles the clone action.
Here is an example of how to set up the resource configuration for the clone action:
Key Points
1. Define the Clone Component:
Ensure you have a component that handles the clone action, e.g., PostClone
.
2. Add the Clone Property in Resources:
In the resources
array, add the clone
property and point it to your clone component.
3. Define the Clone Route:
In your routing configuration, add a route for the clone action, e.g., <Route path="clone/:id" element={<PostClone />} />
.
Example Clone Component
Here is a simple example of what the PostClone
component might look like:
By following these steps, you can ensure that the clone action is properly configured and accessible in your application. For more detailed information, you can refer to the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/refine-component/#identifier).

@kapa.ai my resource for templates looks like this:
{
identifier: 'templates',
name: 'event-templates',
list: '/event-templates',
show: '/event-templates/:id',
clone: '/event-templates',
create: '/event-templates/new',
edit: '/event-templates/edit/:id',
meta: {
label: 'Templates',
icon: <BuildOutlined />,
parent: 'eventManagement',
},
},
What should the route be for the clone action path?Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To set up the route for the clone action path in your resource configuration, you need to ensure that the
clone
property points to the correct path and that the route is defined in your routing configuration.
Given your resource configuration for templates
, the clone
property should point to the path where the clone component will be rendered. Here is how you can set it up:
Resource Configuration
Your resource configuration looks like this:
Routing Configuration
You need to define the route for the clone action in your routing configuration. Here is an example of how to do it:
Example Clone Component
Here is a simple example of what the TemplateClone
component might look like:
```jsx
import React from "react";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";
const TemplateClone: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm({
action: "clone",
});
return (
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title">
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Content" name="content">
<Input.TextArea rows={4} />
</Form.Item>
<Button {...saveButtonProps}>Save</Button>
</Form>

@kapa.ai If I want clone a record, shouldn't the form fill out automatically like when I go to edit page?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, when you clone a record, the form should automatically fill out with the existing record's data, similar to how it works on the edit page. This is achieved using the
useForm
hook with the action: "clone"
setting.
Here’s how you can set it up:
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Define the Clone Component:
Create a component for the clone action that uses the useForm
hook with the action: "clone"
setting.
2. Configure the Resource:
Ensure your resource configuration includes the clone path and points to the clone component.
3. Set Up Routing:
Define the route for the clone action in your routing configuration.
Example Clone Component
Here is an example of a clone component using Ant Design and the useForm
hook:
Resource Configuration
Ensure your resource configuration includes the clone path and points to the clone component:
Routing Configuration
Define the route for the clone action in your routing configuration:
```jsx
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { AntdLayout, notificationProvider, ReadyPage, ErrorComponent } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { dataProvider } from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";
import { TemplateList, TemplateCreate, TemplateEdit, TemplateShow, TemplateClone } from "./pages/templates";
const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
notificationProvider={notificationProvider}
Layout={AntdLayout}
ReadyPage={ReadyPage}
catchAll={<ErrorComponent />}
resources={[
{
identifier: 'templates',
name: 'event-templates',
list: TemplateList,
create: TemplateCreate,
edit: TemplateEdit,
show: TemplateShow,
clone: TemplateClone, // Specify the clone component here
meta: {
label: 'Templates',
icon: <BuildOutlined />,
parent: 'eventManagement',
},
},
]}
>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Outlet />}>
<Route index element={<TemplateList />} />
<Route path="event-templates">
<Route index element={<TemplateList />} />
<Route

@kapa.ai
Here is my resource config:
Here is my routing:
Here is my useForm hook:
It doesn't work like this
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To ensure the clone functionality works correctly, let's review and adjust your setup step-by-step.
Resource Configuration
Your resource configuration looks correct. It includes the necessary paths for the clone action:
Routing Configuration
Your routing configuration also looks correct. It includes the route for the clone action:
Clone Component
Ensure your
CloneTemplate
component is correctly set up to use the useForm
hook with the action: "clone"
setting. Here is an example:
Key Points to Check
1. Ensure useForm
Hook is Correctly Configured:
- The action
should be set to "clone"
.
- The resource
should match the resource name in your configuration ("event-templates"
).
2. Ensure the Route Path Matches:
- The route path for cloning should be /event-templates/clone/:id
.
3. Check Data Fetching:
- The useForm
hook should automatically fetch the data for the record to be cloned using the id
from the route.
4. Ensure Dependencies are Correct:
- Make sure all necessary dependencies are installed and up-to-date.
Example of Full Setup
Here is a full example of how everything ties together:
#### Resource Configuration
#### Routing Configuration
