Hi @tingadev. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To dim the save button if the form does not change when using useForm in refine, you can utilize the saveButtonProps returned by the useForm hook. This prop automatically handles the disabled state of the save button based on whether the form has changed or not. Here's how you can implement it: 1. For Ant Design UI:
import { Edit, useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IPost>();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item
label="Title"
name="title"
rules={[
{
required: true,
},
]}
>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
};
import { Edit, useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IPost>();

return (
<Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item
label="Title"
name="title"
rules={[
{
required: true,
},
]}
>
<Input />
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
);
};
In this example, the saveButtonProps is passed to the <Edit> component, which will automatically handle the disabled state of the save button Ant Design UI - Save Button (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/buttons/save-button/). 2. For React Hook Form: If you're using React Hook Form with refine, you can use the formState.isDirty property to determine if the form has changed:
const { register, formState: { isDirty } } = useForm();

// In your JSX:
<button
disabled={!isDirty}
type="submit"
>
Save
</button>
const { register, formState: { isDirty } } = useForm();

// In your JSX:
<button
disabled={!isDirty}
type="submit"
>
Save
</button>
This approach disables the submit button when the form is not dirty (i.e., hasn't changed) React Hook Form - Form Validation (https://refine.dev/blog/react-hook-form/#form-validation-in-react-hook-form-the-isvalid-prop). By using these methods, the save button will be dimmed (disabled) when the form has not been changed, providing visual feedback to the user about the form's state. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

How about for case form data changed and undo? @kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- If you want to handle the case where form data is changed and then undone, you can use the formState.isDirty property from the useForm hook in React Hook Form. This property will be true if the form data has been changed from its initial values, and false if the form data matches the initial values (even if changes were made and then undone). Here's an example:
const { register, formState: { isDirty } } = useForm();

// In your JSX:
<button
disabled={!isDirty}
type="submit"
>
Save
</button>
const { register, formState: { isDirty } } = useForm();

// In your JSX:
<button
disabled={!isDirty}
type="submit"
>
Save
</button>
In this example, the isDirty property is used to disable the save button when the form data matches the initial values. This means that if a user makes changes to the form and then undoes those changes, the save button will be disabled. Please note that this behavior depends on the form library you're using with Refine. The example above is for React Hook Form. If you're using a different form library, you'll need to refer to its documentation to see how to handle this case. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
