useDataGrid

data changes and causes extra draws

13 Replies

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: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, it appears that there is a known issue with the useDataGrid hook in refine that can cause extra data fetches or redraws under certain conditions. This issue is related to how the hook handles synchronization with the URL when syncWithLocation is set to true. According to the GitHub issue discussion (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5517), when using useDataGrid with syncWithLocation: true and setting an initial sort, it can trigger duplicate requests to the API. This happens because: 1. The initial request is made. 2. The URL is then synced with the sorting information. 3. A second (duplicate) request is triggered because the meta sent to the dataProvider includes the sorting information. The refine team has acknowledged this as a valid issue and is working on a solution. They are considering two potential approaches: 1. Adding a prop or config to prevent router values from being included in the meta. 2. Automatically removing known parameters from the meta, such as parameters from syncWithLocation. Currently, there isn't a definitive fix available, but the team is actively working on resolving this issue. If you're experiencing this problem in your application, you might want to consider temporarily disabling syncWithLocation if possible, or wait for an upcoming update that addresses this issue. For the most up-to-date information on this issue and potential workarounds, you can follow the GitHub issue thread (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5517). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai thats not quite the issue im facing but seems the return data from useDataGrid triggers redraws

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let me address your specific concern about the return data from useDataGrid triggering redraws. Based on the available knowledge sources, there isn't a direct mention of useDataGrid return data causing redraws. However, there are a couple of related issues that might be relevant to your situation: 1. In the GitHub issue #6300 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/6300), there's a discussion about how useTable (which is used internally by useDataGrid) handles synchronization with the URL. The issue mentions that changes in query parameters don't always sync with the internal states of the hook, which could potentially cause unexpected behavior or redraws. 2. Another relevant point comes from GitHub issue #3374 (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/3374), which discusses a problem with useDataGrid not changing the loading state when mutating or invalidating data. This could potentially lead to silent updates without proper loading indications, which might appear as unexpected redraws. However, without more specific information about your particular use case, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the redraws you're experiencing. If you're facing frequent redraws that you believe are unnecessary, you might want to consider: 1. Checking if you're using syncWithLocation and if disabling it resolves the issue. 2. Examining your use of filters, sorters, or other state that might be causing updates. 3. Using the queryOptions prop of useDataGrid to fine-tune the query behavior. For example:

useDataGrid({
  queryOptions: {
    staleTime: 30000, // Adjust as needed
  },
});

useDataGrid({
  queryOptions: {
    staleTime: 30000, // Adjust as needed
  },
});

This example is based on the documentation for queryOptions in useDataGrid (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/hooks/use-data-grid/#queryoptions). If the problem persists, it might be helpful to create a minimal reproduction of the issue and open a new GitHub issue in the refine repository for the maintainers to investigate further. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai it seems returning filters triggers a redraw const { dataGridProps, filters } = useDataGrid<any>({

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears that the behavior you're experiencing with filters triggering redraws in useDataGrid is related to how the hook handles filtering. Let me explain what might be happening: 1. The useDataGrid hook returns filters as part of its return values, as mentioned in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/hooks/use-data-grid/#return-values-1). This filters state represents the current filtering state of the data grid. 2. By default, the filters.mode is set to "server", which means that any change in filters will trigger a new request to the server to fetch filtered data. This could explain the redraws you're observing. If you want to prevent these redraws, you have a couple of options: 1. You can set the filters.mode to "off" if you want to handle filtering on the client-side. This is mentioned in the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/hooks/use-data-grid/#filtersmode):

const { dataGridProps, filters } = useDataGrid<any>({
  filters: {
    mode: "off",
  },
});

const { dataGridProps, filters } = useDataGrid<any>({
  filters: {
    mode: "off",
  },
});

2. If you need server-side filtering but want more control over when redraws occur, you might need to implement a custom solution. One approach is demonstrated in a GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5860#issuecomment-1586177508), where the user manually updates the filter model:

const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
const filterModelUpdated: any = {
  items: [...filters],
  logicOperator: "and",
};

<DataGrid {...restDataGridProps} filterModel={filterModelUpdated} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
const filterModelUpdated: any = {
  items: [...filters],
  logicOperator: "and",
};

<DataGrid {...restDataGridProps} filterModel={filterModelUpdated} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

However, it's worth noting that the refine team is aware of issues related to filtering and is working on improvements. As mentioned in another GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5860#issuecomment-1586177508), they are considering changes to how filters are handled, including potentially adding options to control whether router values should be included in the meta property. If these solutions don't fully address your issue, you might want to consider opening a new issue on the refine GitHub repository with a minimal reproduction of your specific case. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai there is defo something stange going on the useDataGrid possibly something not memo'ed or something cyclic triggering back from the datagrid component updating something. I dont get addtional fetches they are all correct

kapa.ai•2w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for providing more details about your issue with useDataGrid. Based on the information you've shared and the available knowledge sources, it does seem that there might be an internal issue with the hook or its interaction with the DataGrid component. However, I don't have specific information about memoization issues or cyclic updates within the useDataGrid implementation. Since you're not experiencing additional fetches, but rather unexpected redraws or updates, this could indeed point to an internal React rendering issue. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide detailed information about the internal implementation of useDataGrid that could explain this behavior. Given the complexity of your issue and the lack of specific information in the provided sources, I would recommend the following steps: 1. Create a minimal reproduction of the issue in a sandbox environment (like CodeSandbox). 2. Open a new issue on the refine GitHub repository, describing your problem in detail and including your reproduction. This will allow the refine team to investigate the specific behavior you're experiencing. 3. In your GitHub issue, you might want to ask about the internal implementation of useDataGrid, specifically about any memoization techniques used and how it interacts with the DataGrid component. 4. While waiting for a response, you could try wrapping some of your components or callback functions in useMemo or useCallback hooks to see if it mitigates the issue. However, be cautious as this is just a temporary workaround and might not address the root cause. I apologize that I can't provide a more definitive answer based on the available information. The behavior you're describing seems to be a complex issue that would require a deeper investigation by the refine development team. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai even in this simple case it draws 3 times export const CustomList: React.FC = () => { const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<ApiMintWallet>({ resource: "blockchain/mintWallets", syncWithLocation: false, }); console.log("dataGridProps", dataGridProps); // draws 3 times return <>test</>;

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information you've provided and the knowledge sources available, I can offer some insights into why you might be seeing multiple renders with useDataGrid, even in a simple case. 1. React's Strict Mode: As mentioned in the refine FAQ (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/faq/#why-are-api-calls-triggering-twice), if you're using React's Strict Mode (which is common in development environments), React intentionally double-invokes certain functions to help identify potential issues. This could explain why you're seeing multiple renders. 2. Internal State Updates: The useDataGrid hook manages various internal states (like pagination, sorting, and filtering). Even if you're not using all these features, the hook might be updating its internal state, causing re-renders. 3. Data Fetching: useDataGrid uses the useList hook internally to fetch data. The process of initiating the fetch, setting loading states, and receiving data could potentially cause multiple renders. However, seeing exactly three renders is not explicitly explained in the provided knowledge sources. It's possible that this behavior is a combination of the above factors or related to how useDataGrid is implemented internally. To troubleshoot this issue: 1. Try wrapping your component in React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders:

   const CustomList: React.FC = React.memo(() => {
     const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<ApiMintWallet>({
       resource: "blockchain/mintWallets",
       syncWithLocation: false,
     });

     console.log("dataGridProps", dataGridProps);
     return <>test</>;
   });

   const CustomList: React.FC = React.memo(() => {
     const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<ApiMintWallet>({
       resource: "blockchain/mintWallets",
       syncWithLocation: false,
     });

     console.log("dataGridProps", dataGridProps);
     return <>test</>;
   });

2. Use the queryOptions prop to adjust the query behavior:

   const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<ApiMintWallet>({
     resource: "blockchain/mintWallets",
     syncWithLocation: false,
     queryOptions: {
       staleTime: Infinity, // Adjust as needed
     },
   });

   const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid<ApiMintWallet>({
     resource: "blockchain/mintWallets",
     syncWithLocation: false,
     queryOptions: {
       staleTime: Infinity, // Adjust as needed
     },
   });

3. If the issue persists, it would be beneficial to create a minimal reproduction of this behavior and open an issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues). The refine team would be best equipped to investigate why this simple use case is causing multiple renders. Remember, while multiple renders during development are not uncommon and often don't affect production performance, unexpected render behavior can indicate underlying issues that are worth investigating. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
