Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To send a "fire and forget" mutation using a simple REST API with Axios in refine, you can use the useMutation hook from react-query. This approach allows you to perform a mutation without waiting for the response, effectively making it a "fire and forget" operation. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useMutation } from "react-query";
import axios from "axios";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const [title, setTitle] = useState("");
  const [body, setBody] = useState("");

  const mutation = useMutation((newPost) =>
    axios.post("<https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",> newPost)
  );

  const submitData = () => {
    mutation.mutate({ title, body });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={title}
        onChange={(e) => setTitle(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Title"
      />
      <input
        type="text"
        value={body}
        onChange={(e) => setBody(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Body"
      />
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { useMutation } from "react-query";
import axios from "axios";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const [title, setTitle] = useState("");
  const [body, setBody] = useState("");

  const mutation = useMutation((newPost) =>
    axios.post("<https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts",> newPost)
  );

  const submitData = () => {
    mutation.mutate({ title, body });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={title}
        onChange={(e) => setTitle(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Title"
      />
      <input
        type="text"
        value={body}
        onChange={(e) => setBody(e.target.value)}
        placeholder="Body"
      />
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

In this example, the useMutation hook is used to send a POST request to the JSONPlaceholder API. When the submitData function is called, it triggers the mutation without waiting for the response, making it a "fire and forget" operation. For more information on using useMutation in refine, you can refer to the Beginner's Guide to React Query (https://refine.dev/blog/react-query-guide/#mutating-data). If you need to customize the HTTP method or other parameters, you can refer to the Simple REST documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/simple-rest/#default-http-methods-and-customizing-them). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai with the useCustomMutation hook mutate

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To send a "fire and forget" mutation using the useCustomMutation hook in refine, you can follow the example below. This approach allows you to perform a mutation without waiting for the response, effectively making it a "fire and forget" operation. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

import { useCustomMutation, useApiUrl } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const apiUrl = useApiUrl();
  const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      url: `${apiUrl}/categories`,
      method: "post",
      values: {
        title: "New Category",
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

import { useCustomMutation, useApiUrl } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const apiUrl = useApiUrl();
  const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      url: `${apiUrl}/categories`,
      method: "post",
      values: {
        title: "New Category",
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

In this example, the useCustomMutation hook is used to send a POST request to the specified API endpoint. When the submitData function is called, it triggers the mutation without waiting for the response, making it a "fire and forget" operation. For more information on using useCustomMutation, you can refer to the useCustomMutation documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom-mutation/). If you need to customize the HTTP method or other parameters, you can refer to the Mutation Parameters section (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom-mutation/#mutation-parameters). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I dont see anything different here from the normal would i need to update the data provider

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To send a "fire and forget" mutation using the useCustomMutation hook in refine, you don't necessarily need to update the data provider. The useCustomMutation hook allows you to perform custom mutations directly, bypassing the need to modify the data provider. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

import { useCustomMutation, useApiUrl } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const apiUrl = useApiUrl();
  const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      url: `${apiUrl}/categories`,
      method: "post",
      values: {
        title: "New Category",
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

import { useCustomMutation, useApiUrl } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetMutation = () => {
  const apiUrl = useApiUrl();
  const { mutate } = useCustomMutation();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      url: `${apiUrl}/categories`,
      method: "post",
      values: {
        title: "New Category",
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetMutation;

In this example: - The useCustomMutation hook is used to send a POST request to the specified API endpoint. - When the submitData function is called, it triggers the mutation without waiting for the response, making it a "fire and forget" operation. This approach does not require any changes to the data provider. The useCustomMutation hook is designed to handle custom mutations directly, allowing you to specify the URL, HTTP method, and payload.

@kapa.ai no this still makes react query wait for a response

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To send a "fire and forget" mutation using the useUpdate or useUpdateMany hooks in refine without waiting for a response, you can set the mutationMode to "optimistic". This will update the cache immediately without waiting for the server response. Here is an example using the useUpdate hook:

import React from "react";
import { useUpdate } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetUpdate = () => {
  const { mutate } = useUpdate();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      resource: "posts",
      id: 1,
      values: { title: "Updated Title" },
      mutationMode: "optimistic",
      optimisticUpdateMap: {
        list: true,
        many: true,
        detail: false,
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetUpdate;

import React from "react";
import { useUpdate } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetUpdate = () => {
  const { mutate } = useUpdate();

  const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      resource: "posts",
      id: 1,
      values: { title: "Updated Title" },
      mutationMode: "optimistic",
      optimisticUpdateMap: {
        list: true,
        many: true,
        detail: false,
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetUpdate;

In this example: - The useUpdate hook is used to send an update request. - The mutationMode is set to "optimistic", which updates the cache immediately without waiting for the server response. - The optimisticUpdateMap is configured to update the cache for the list and many views but not for the detail view. For more information on using useUpdate with optimistic updates, you can refer to the useUpdate documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-update/#optimisticupdatemap). Similarly, you can use the useUpdateMany hook with the same approach:

import React from "react";
import { useUpdateMany } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetUpdateMany = () => {
  const { mutate } = useUpdateMany();
const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      resource: "posts",
      ids: [1, 2, 3],
      values: { title: "Updated Title" },
      mutationMode: "optimistic",
      optimisticUpdateMap: {
        list: true,
        many: true,
        detail: false,
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetUpdateMany;

import React from "react";
import { useUpdateMany } from "@refinedev/core";

const FireAndForgetUpdateMany = () => {
  const { mutate } = useUpdateMany();
const submitData = () => {
    mutate({
      resource: "posts",
      ids: [1, 2, 3],
      values: { title: "Updated Title" },
      mutationMode: "optimistic",
      optimisticUpdateMap: {
        list: true,
        many: true,
        detail: false,
      },
    });
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={submitData}>Submit</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default FireAndForgetUpdateMany;

For more information on using useUpdateMany with optimistic updates, you can refer to the useUpdateMany documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-update-many/#optimisticupdatemap). These examples ensure that the mutation is performed in a "fire and forget" manner by updating the cache optimistically without waiting for the server response. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I just want it to ignore the server response not wait for it

One moment! :books: ---------------------- To perform a "fire and forget" mutation where the server response is ignored and not waited for, you can use the useCustomMutation hook and handle the mutation in a way that does not depend on the server response.

    });
  };

@kapa.ai wouldnt i have to do something here in the rest data provider let axiosResponse; switch (method) { case "put": case "post": case "patch": axiosResponse = await httpClient[method](url, payload, { headers: headers, responseType: responseType, timeout: timeout, }); break;

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you are correct. To implement a "fire and forget" mutation, you would need to modify the data provider to ignore the server response. Specifically, you can customize the data provider to not await the response for certain methods like post, put, or patch. Here is an example of how you can modify the data provider to achieve this: 1. Run the swizzle command to customize the data provider:

npm run refine swizzle

npm run refine swizzle

2. Select @refinedev/simple-rest from the list of available data providers. 3. Edit the /rest-data-provider/index.ts file to customize the data provider:

import axios from "axios";

const httpClient = axios.create();

const dataProvider = {
  create: async ({ resource, variables, meta }) => {
    const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}`;
    const payload = variables;

    // Fire and forget implementation
    httpClient.post(url, payload).catch((error) => {
      console.error("Error in fire and forget mutation:", error);
    });

    // Return a resolved promise immediately
    return Promise.resolve({ data: {} });
  },
  // Other methods (createMany, deleteOne, deleteMany, getList, getMany, getOne, update, updateMany)
};

export default dataProvider;

import axios from "axios";

const httpClient = axios.create();

const dataProvider = {
  create: async ({ resource, variables, meta }) => {
    const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}`;
    const payload = variables;

    // Fire and forget implementation
    httpClient.post(url, payload).catch((error) => {
      console.error("Error in fire and forget mutation:", error);
    });

    // Return a resolved promise immediately
    return Promise.resolve({ data: {} });
  },
  // Other methods (createMany, deleteOne, deleteMany, getList, getMany, getOne, update, updateMany)
};

export default dataProvider;

4. Pass the customized data provider to the dataProvider prop of the Refine component:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import dataProvider from "./rest-data-provider";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
      dataProvider={dataProvider}
      /* ... */
    />
  );
};

export default App;

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import dataProvider from "./rest-data-provider";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
      dataProvider={dataProvider}
      /* ... */
    />
  );
};

export default App;

In this example: - The create method in the data provider is modified to send a POST request using Axios without awaiting the response. - The httpClient.post method is called and any errors are caught and logged. - The method returns a resolved promise immediately with an empty data object, effectively making it a "fire and forget" operation. This approach ensures that the mutation is performed without waiting for or handling the server response. For more information on customizing the data provider, you can refer to the Simple REST documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/simple-rest/#customizing-the-data-provider-). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
