Getting Data from a key in a REST response
I'm trying to populate a Refine MUI table with data from the Django Rest Framework API. The response from the API is in the following format:
{
"count": 41,
"next": "http://localhost:8000/api/captures?_end=25&_start=25",
"previous": null,
"results": [
{
"id": 4,
.......
}
]
}
How do I get the data grid to use just the results array without rewriting the API?

To get the data grid to use just the
results
array from your Django Rest Framework API response without rewriting the API, you can customize the data provider in Refine. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Swizzle the Simple REST Data Provider: This allows you to modify the data provider to suit your API response format.
2. Modify the Data Provider: Customize the data provider to extract the results
array from the API response.
Here are the steps in detail:
Step 1: Swizzle the Simple REST Data Provider
Run the swizzle
command in your project directory to customize the data provider:
Select @refinedev/simple-rest
from the list of available data providers.
Step 2: Modify the Data Provider
Edit the /rest-data-provider/index.ts
file to customize the data provider. You need to modify the getList
method to extract the results
array from the API response.
Here is an example of how you can modify the getList
method:
Step 3: Use the Customized Data Provider
Pass the customized data provider to the dataProvider
prop of the Refine
component in your application:
Step 4: Use useDataGrid
Hook
Now you can use the useDataGrid
hook to fetch and display the data in a MUI DataGrid component. Here is an example:
By following these steps, you can customize the data provider to extract the results
array from your API response and use it to populate the MUI DataGrid in your Refine application.
