useForm with specific type
I want to call useForm but specify a type, say Metafield. So the initial call looks like:
const { saveButtonProps, formProps, formLoading, queryResult, onFinish } = useForm<Metafield>();
Then, when I define my form component, that looks like:
<Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
However, I'm getting an error that 'formProps' is incompatible now that the <Form> has been provided a specific type. How can I resolve that error and still maintain the specific type information?

Hi @Hypnotic Meat. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To resolve the error you're encountering when using
useForm
with a specific type like Metafield
, you need to ensure that the type parameters are correctly specified and consistent across your form setup. Based on the provided knowledge sources, here's how you can achieve this:
1. Define your Metafield
type:
2. Use useForm
with the Metafield
type:
3. Define your form component with the Metafield
type:
4. Ensure handleFormatting
is compatible with Metafield
:
Here is a complete example based on the provided information:
This setup ensures that the type Metafield
is consistently used across the useForm
hook and the Form
component, resolving the type incompatibility issue.
For more detailed examples and documentation, you can refer to the official refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-form/#example).

@kapa.ai ah, it was that my useForm call was initially just providing <Metafield> instead of <Metafield, HttpError, Metafield>. Is there a way to exclude the HttpError part of that if I don't care about explicitly specifying it?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you can exclude the
HttpError
part if you don't need to explicitly specify it. The useForm
hook in refine allows you to provide type parameters, but you can rely on the default values for some of them if you don't need to customize them.
Here's how you can call useForm
with just the Metafield
type, relying on the default values for the other type parameters:
This will use the default type for HttpError
and other type parameters. The default type for HttpError
is already set to HttpError
in the useForm
hook, so you don't need to specify it explicitly.
Here is the complete example with the simplified useForm
call:
This setup ensures that you are only specifying the Metafield
type, and the other type parameters will use their default values.
For more detailed examples and documentation, you can refer to the official refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-form/#example).
