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:
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).

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

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

@kapa.ai I just want it to ignore the server response not wait for it
Let me check the knowledge base for you. 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. This can be achieved by not handling the promise returned by the mutation function.
Here is an example using the useCustomMutation
hook:
In this example:
- The useCustomMutation
hook is used to send a POST request to the specified API endpoint.
- The submitData
function triggers the mutation without handling the promise returned by the mutate
function, 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 using useCustomMutation
, you can refer to the useCustomMutation documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom-mutation/).

@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;

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