AntD useForm id warning

I get this warning in browser console when using useForm

[useForm]: action: "clone", resource: "businesses", id: 522fa099-922d-4e01-be19-623dd1b922ab 

If you don't use the `setId` method to set the `id`, you should pass the `id` prop to `useForm`. Otherwise, `useForm` will not be able to infer the `id` from the current URL.

Hi @chachi. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The warning you are seeing indicates that the useForm hook is unable to infer the id from the current URL. This can happen if you haven't provided the id prop directly to the useForm hook or used the setId method to set it dynamically. To resolve this warning, you can pass the id prop directly to the useForm hook. Here is an example of how to do this:

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";

const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm({
  refineCoreProps: {
    action: "clone", // or "edit"
    resource: "businesses",
    id: "522fa099-922d-4e01-be19-623dd1b922ab", // your specific id
  },
});

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";

const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm({
  refineCoreProps: {
    action: "clone", // or "edit"
    resource: "businesses",
    id: "522fa099-922d-4e01-be19-623dd1b922ab", // your specific id
  },
});

Alternatively, if you need to set the id dynamically, you can use the setId method:

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";

const { id, setId } = useForm();

const handleIdChange = (newId: string) => {
  setId(newId);
};

return (
  <div>
    <input value={id} onChange={(e) => handleIdChange(e.target.value)} />
  </div>
);

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";

const { id, setId } = useForm();

const handleIdChange = (newId: string) => {
  setId(newId);
};

return (
  <div>
    <input value={id} onChange={(e) => handleIdChange(e.target.value)} />
  </div>
);

For more detailed information, you can refer to the useForm documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#id) and the setId documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#setid). By ensuring that the id is correctly passed or set, you should be able to avoid this warning in your browser console. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@¨ @kapa.ai how do I get the id? Until now refine always inferred id from the route

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine can infer the id from the route based on your resource definitions. If you have defined your resources and their routes correctly, refine should be able to infer the id without any issues. Here is an example of how to define your resources and routes:

<Refine  
  resources={[  
    {  
      name: "businesses",  
      list: "/businesses", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses>  
      show: "/businesses/:id", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1>  
      create: "/businesses/new", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/new>  
      edit: "/businesses/:id/edit", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1/edit>  
      clone: "/businesses/:id/clone", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1/clone>  
    },  
  ]}  
/>

<Refine  
  resources={[  
    {  
      name: "businesses",  
      list: "/businesses", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses>  
      show: "/businesses/:id", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1>  
      create: "/businesses/new", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/new>  
      edit: "/businesses/:id/edit", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1/edit>  
      clone: "/businesses/:id/clone", // <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1/clone>  
    },  
  ]}  
/>

With this setup, refine will be able to infer the id from the route. For example, if you navigate to <http://localhost:3000/businesses/1/edit,> refine will automatically use 1 as the id. If you need to set the id dynamically or if refine cannot infer the id from the route, you can use the setId method or pass the id prop directly to the useForm hook. For more information, you can refer to the Routing documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/routing/#relationship-between-resources-and-routes-) and the useForm documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#id). If you still encounter issues, ensure that your routes are correctly defined and that you are navigating to the correct URLs. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai but for all the other resources the id infer works fine and the setup is the same for all of the resources and it works apart form one

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If the id inference works fine for all other resources except one, there might be a specific issue with the configuration or data of that particular resource. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Check Resource Configuration: Ensure that the resource configuration for the problematic resource is correctly defined. Verify that the routes are set up properly.

    <Refine
      resources={[
        {
          name: "businesses",
          list: "/businesses",
          show: "/businesses/:id",
          create: "/businesses/new",
          edit: "/businesses/:id/edit",
          clone: "/businesses/:id/clone",
        },
      ]}
    />

    <Refine
      resources={[
        {
          name: "businesses",
          list: "/businesses",
          show: "/businesses/:id",
          create: "/businesses/new",
          edit: "/businesses/:id/edit",
          clone: "/businesses/:id/clone",
        },
      ]}
    />

2. Verify Data Consistency: Ensure that the id field in your data is consistent and correctly populated. If the id field is missing or has unexpected values, refine might not be able to infer it correctly. 3. Check for Special Characters: If your id contains special characters, it might cause issues with URL encoding. Refer to the issue #1814 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/1814) where special characters in id caused problems. 4. Custom ID Column Name: If your resource uses a custom ID column name, ensure that it is correctly specified. Refer to the issue #5356 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5356) for handling custom ID column names.

    <AntdShowInferencer meta={{
        businesses: {
          default: {
            idColumnName: "customId",
          }
        }
      }} 
    />

    <AntdShowInferencer meta={{
        businesses: {
          default: {
            idColumnName: "customId",
          }
        }
      }} 
    />

5. Debugging: Add some debugging statements to check if the id is being correctly inferred. You can log the id in your component to see if it is being set correctly.

    const { id } = useForm();
    console.log("Inferred ID:", id);

    const { id } = useForm();
    console.log("Inferred ID:", id);

6. Manual ID Setting: As a temporary workaround, you can manually set the id using the setId method if the inference is not working.

    const { setId } = useForm();
    useEffect(() => {
      setId("your-custom-id");
    }, []);

    const { setId } = useForm();
    useEffect(() => {
      setId("your-custom-id");
    }, []);

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the id inference for the specific resource. If the problem persists, you might want to check the refine documentation or open an issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) for further assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai the id is inferred fine, it just does not fill the form

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If the id is inferred correctly but the form is not being populated, it could be due to a few reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Ensure Correct Data Fetching: Verify that the data fetching logic is correctly implemented and that the data is being fetched based on the inferred id. You can log the fetched data to ensure it is being retrieved correctly.

    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, queryResult } = useForm({
      refineCoreProps: {
        action: "edit", // or "clone"
        resource: "businesses",
      },
    });

    useEffect(() => {
      console.log("Fetched Data:", queryResult?.data);
    }, [queryResult]);

    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, queryResult } = useForm({
      refineCoreProps: {
        action: "edit", // or "clone"
        resource: "businesses",
      },
    });

    useEffect(() => {
      console.log("Fetched Data:", queryResult?.data);
    }, [queryResult]);

2. Check for Data Availability: Ensure that the data is available before rendering the form. You can use conditional rendering to wait for the data to be fetched.

    if (queryResult.isLoading) {
      return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }

    if (queryResult.isError) {
      return <div>Error loading data</div>;
    }

    return (
      <Form {...formProps}>
        {/* Your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    );

    if (queryResult.isLoading) {
      return <div>Loading...</div>;
    }

    if (queryResult.isError) {
      return <div>Error loading data</div>;
    }

    return (
      <Form {...formProps}>
        {/* Your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    );

3. Verify Form Field Names: Ensure that the form field names match the keys in the fetched data. If there is a mismatch, the form fields will not be populated correctly.

    <Form {...formProps}>
      <Form.Item name="name" label="Name">
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
      <Form.Item name="description" label="Description">
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
      {/* Add other form fields as needed */}
    </Form>

    <Form {...formProps}>
      <Form.Item name="name" label="Name">
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
      <Form.Item name="description" label="Description">
        <Input />
      </Form.Item>
      {/* Add other form fields as needed */}
    </Form>

4. Check for Custom ID Column Name: If your resource uses a custom ID column name, ensure that it is correctly specified. Refer to the issue #5356 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5356) for handling custom ID column names.

    <AntdShowInferencer meta={{
        businesses: {
          default: {
            idColumnName: "customId",
          }
        }
      }} 
    />

    <AntdShowInferencer meta={{
        businesses: {
          default: {
            idColumnName: "customId",
          }
        }
      }} 
    />

5. Manual Data Population: As a temporary workaround, you can manually set the form values using the setFieldsValue method if the automatic population is not working.

    useEffect(() => {
      if (queryResult.data) {
        formProps.form.setFieldsValue(queryResult.data);
      }
    }, [queryResult.data]);

    useEffect(() => {
      if (queryResult.data) {
        formProps.form.setFieldsValue(queryResult.data);
      }
    }, [queryResult.data]);

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the form not being populated despite the id being inferred correctly. If the problem persists, you might want to check the refine documentation or open an issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) for further assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
