How to set request body in useCustom

How can I set an object as the request body of a post request using useCustom? I currently have it set as the config.query value, but that's not getting picked up by my backend server.

Hi @HypnoticMeat. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To set an object as the request body of a POST request using useCustom in refine, you should use the config.payload property. The config.query property is used for query parameters, which is why your backend server is not picking it up as the request body. Here is an example of how you can set the request body using config.payload:

useCustom({
  url: "www.example.com/api/post-endpoint",
  method: "post",
  config: {
    payload: {
      title: "Foo bar",
      // Add other fields as needed
    },
  },
});

useCustom({
  url: "www.example.com/api/post-endpoint",
  method: "post",
  config: {
    payload: {
      title: "Foo bar",
      // Add other fields as needed
    },
  },
});

In this example: - url specifies the endpoint of the request. - method specifies the HTTP method, which is "post" in this case. - config.payload is used to specify the request body. For more details, you can refer to the official documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom/#configpayload). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
