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:

   interface Metafield {
     // Define the structure of your Metafield type here
     key: string;
     value: string;
   }

   interface Metafield {
     // Define the structure of your Metafield type here
     key: string;
     value: string;
   }

2. Use useForm with the Metafield type:

   const { saveButtonProps, formProps, formLoading, queryResult, onFinish } = useForm<Metafield>();

   const { saveButtonProps, formProps, formLoading, queryResult, onFinish } = useForm<Metafield>();

3. Define your form component with the Metafield type:

   <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
     {/* Form fields go here */}
   </Form>

   <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
     {/* Form fields go here */}
   </Form>

4. Ensure handleFormatting is compatible with Metafield:

   const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
     // Handle form submission with values of type Metafield
   };

   const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
     // Handle form submission with values of type Metafield
   };

Here is a complete example based on the provided information:

"use client";

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Form } from "antd"; // Assuming you're using Ant Design
import { useEffect } from "react";

interface Metafield {
  key: string;
  value: string;
}

export default function MetafieldEdit() {
  const {
    refineCore: { queryResult, onFinish },
    reset,
    handleSubmit,
    formProps,
  } = useForm<Metafield, HttpError, Metafield>();

  const metafield = queryResult?.data?.data;

  useEffect(() => {
    reset({
      key: metafield?.key,
      value: metafield?.value,
    });
  }, [reset, metafield]);

  const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
    onFinish(values);
  };
return (
    <Edit
      saveButtonProps={{
        onClick: handleSubmit(handleFormatting),
      }}
    >
      <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
        {/* Define your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    </Edit>
  );
}

"use client";

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Form } from "antd"; // Assuming you're using Ant Design
import { useEffect } from "react";

interface Metafield {
  key: string;
  value: string;
}

export default function MetafieldEdit() {
  const {
    refineCore: { queryResult, onFinish },
    reset,
    handleSubmit,
    formProps,
  } = useForm<Metafield, HttpError, Metafield>();

  const metafield = queryResult?.data?.data;

  useEffect(() => {
    reset({
      key: metafield?.key,
      value: metafield?.value,
    });
  }, [reset, metafield]);

  const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
    onFinish(values);
  };
return (
    <Edit
      saveButtonProps={{
        onClick: handleSubmit(handleFormatting),
      }}
    >
      <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
        {/* Define your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    </Edit>
  );
}

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). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@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?

kapa.ai•6d ago

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:

const { saveButtonProps, formProps, formLoading, queryResult, onFinish } = useForm<Metafield>();

const { saveButtonProps, formProps, formLoading, queryResult, onFinish } = useForm<Metafield>();

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:

"use client";

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Form } from "antd"; // Assuming you're using Ant Design
import { useEffect } from "react";

interface Metafield {
  key: string;
  value: string;
}

export default function MetafieldEdit() {
  const {
    refineCore: { queryResult, onFinish },
    reset,
    handleSubmit,
    formProps,
  } = useForm<Metafield>();

  const metafield = queryResult?.data?.data;

  useEffect(() => {
    reset({
      key: metafield?.key,
      value: metafield?.value,
    });
  }, [reset, metafield]);

  const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
    onFinish(values);
  };

  return (
    <Edit
      saveButtonProps={{
        onClick: handleSubmit(handleFormatting),
      }}
    >
      <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
        {/* Define your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    </Edit>
  );
}

"use client";

import { HttpError } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Form } from "antd"; // Assuming you're using Ant Design
import { useEffect } from "react";

interface Metafield {
  key: string;
  value: string;
}

export default function MetafieldEdit() {
  const {
    refineCore: { queryResult, onFinish },
    reset,
    handleSubmit,
    formProps,
  } = useForm<Metafield>();

  const metafield = queryResult?.data?.data;

  useEffect(() => {
    reset({
      key: metafield?.key,
      value: metafield?.value,
    });
  }, [reset, metafield]);

  const handleFormatting = (values: Metafield) => {
    onFinish(values);
  };

  return (
    <Edit
      saveButtonProps={{
        onClick: handleSubmit(handleFormatting),
      }}
    >
      <Form<Metafield> {...formProps} onFinish={handleFormatting} layout='vertical'>
        {/* Define your form fields here */}
      </Form>
    </Edit>
  );
}

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). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
