Hi @flankieflew. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To intercept the save button and add extra data before submission in refine, you have a few options depending on the UI library you're using. Here are some approaches:
1. Using
useForm
hook:
The useForm
hook provides an onFinish
function that you can use to modify the form data before submission. Here's an example:
This approach works for Ant Design (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/hooks/use-form/#how-can-i-change-the-form-data-before-submitting-it-to-the-api) and other UI libraries.
2. Using transformValues
option:
For Mantine UI, you can use the transformValues
option in the useForm
hook:
This method is described in the Mantine useForm documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/mantine/hooks/use-form/#how-can-i-change-the-form-data-before-submitting-it-to-the-api).
3. Using footerButtons
prop:
You can also use the footerButtons
prop of the <Create>
or <Edit>
components to customize the save button behavior:
This approach is available for Mantine (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/mantine/components/basic-views/create/#footerbuttons), Chakra UI (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/chakra-ui/components/basic-views/create/#footerbuttons), and other UI libraries supported by refine.
Choose the method that best fits your UI library and use case. Remember to adjust the code according to your specific needs and the UI library you're using with refine.

@kapa.ai i'm using mui
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Thank you for clarifying that you're using Material-UI (MUI) with refine. For MUI, you can intercept the save button and add extra data before submission using a similar approach. Here's how you can do it:
1. Using
useForm
hook with MUI:
This approach allows you to modify the form data before it's submitted to the API. The onSubmit
function will be called with the form data, which you can then modify before passing it to onFinish
.
2. Using footerButtons
prop with MUI:
Alternatively, you can use the footerButtons
prop of the <Create>
or <Edit>
components to customize the save button behavior:
This method allows you to intercept the click event, add your extra data, and then call the original onClick
function with the modified data.
Both of these approaches are based on the documentation for MUI integration with refine, as shown in the Material UI Edit component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/basic-views/edit/#footerbuttons) and Material UI Create component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/basic-views/create/#footerbuttons).
Choose the method that best fits your specific use case. Remember to adjust the code according to your form structure and the extra data you want to add.

is it possible to just modify the onClickMethod instead?
@kapa.ai is it possible to do it like this
<SaveButton {...saveButtonProps} onClick={handleSave} />
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Yes, it is possible to intercept the save button click and add custom logic using the approach you've suggested. This method is valid and commonly used in refine with Material-UI (MUI). Here's how you can implement it:
This approach allows you to:
1. Use the
SaveButton
component from refine's MUI integration.
2. Spread the saveButtonProps
to maintain default behavior and styling.
3. Override the onClick
prop with your custom handleSave
function.
In the handleSave
function, you can add your custom logic to modify the form data before submission. This method is consistent with the refine documentation for Material UI components (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/basic-views/create/#savebuttonprops) and using forms (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/basic-views/edit/#savebuttonprops).
Remember to adjust the code according to your specific form structure and the extra data you want to add. This approach gives you fine-grained control over the save process while still leveraging refine's built-in functionality.
