This approach allows you to pass additional data to the create form, which can be used to pre-fill fields or provide context for the new resource being created.
It's worth noting that if you're using Refine's UI components like , they also support a

This error typically occurs when you're trying to use the hook outside of a React Router context. To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your component is wrapped within a Router component. Here are a few things to check:
React Router v6 Integration (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/react-router/#basic-usage)
React Router v6 Data APIs Usage (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/react-router/#basic-usage)
This error typically occurs when you're trying to use the hook outside of a React Router context. To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your component is wrapped within a Router component. Here are a few things to check:
- Make sure you have set up React Router correctly in your Refine application. The basic setup should look something like this:
React Router v6 Integration (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/react-router/#basic-usage)
- If you're using the newer Data APIs Router introduced in React Router v6.4, your setup might look like this:
React Router v6 Data APIs Usage (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/react-router/#basic-usage)
- Ensure that the component where you're using is rendered within the Router context. It should be a child or descendant of the
component.<Refine> - If you're using in a custom component, make sure this component is rendered within your app's routing structure and not outside of it.
KIf you've checked all these points and are still encountering the error, you might need to review your overall application structure to ensure that all components using routing hooks are properly nested within the Router context.
Remember, the hook should only be used in components that are rendered as part of your application's routes. If you need to access location information in a component that's not directly rendered by a route, you might need to pass that information down as props from a parent component that does have access to the routing context.

SI used for the router provider because my project uses Next.js app router @kapa.ai
KLet me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment!

Thank you for providing that information. Since you're using Next.js with the app router, you're correct in using the package for the router provider. This is the appropriate choice for Next.js projects using the app router.
When using with Next.js app router, you don't need to manually set up React Router components like or use hooks like . The Next.js app router handles routing differently.
Here's how you typically set up Refine with Next.js app router:
Next.js App Router Integration (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/next-js/#usage)
With this setup, you shouldn't encounter the "useLocation() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component" error, as Next.js handles routing internally.
If you're still facing issues or need to access route information, Next.js provides its own routing hooks that you can use instead of React Router hooks. For example, you can use and from to access route information.
If you're experiencing any specific issues with this setup, please provide more details about your current implementation and any error messages you're seeing.
