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:

const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm();

const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
  onFinish({
    ...values,
    extraData: "Some extra data"
  });
};

return (
  <Create saveButtonProps={{
    ...saveButtonProps,
    onClick: handleOnFinish
  }}>
    {/* Your form fields */}
  </Create>
);

const { formProps, saveButtonProps, onFinish } = useForm();

const handleOnFinish = (values) => {
  onFinish({
    ...values,
    extraData: "Some extra data"
  });
};

return (
  <Create saveButtonProps={{
    ...saveButtonProps,
    onClick: handleOnFinish
  }}>
    {/* Your form fields */}
  </Create>
);

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:

const { saveButtonProps } = useForm({
  transformValues: (values) => ({
    ...values,
    extraData: "Some extra data"
  }),
});

return (
  <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
    {/* Your form fields */}
  </Create>
);

const { saveButtonProps } = useForm({
  transformValues: (values) => ({
    ...values,
    extraData: "Some extra data"
  }),
});

return (
  <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
    {/* Your form fields */}
  </Create>
);

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:

import { Create, SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { Button } from "@mantine/core";
const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      footerButtons={({ saveButtonProps }) => (
        <>
          <SaveButton
            {...saveButtonProps}
            onClick={(e) => {
              // Your custom logic here
              saveButtonProps.onClick(e);
            }}
          />
          <Button variant="gradient">Custom Button</Button>
        </>
      )}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Create>
  );
};

import { Create, SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { Button } from "@mantine/core";
const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      footerButtons={({ saveButtonProps }) => (
        <>
          <SaveButton
            {...saveButtonProps}
            onClick={(e) => {
              // Your custom logic here
              saveButtonProps.onClick(e);
            }}
          />
          <Button variant="gradient">Custom Button</Button>
        </>
      )}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Create>
  );
};

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

@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:

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { onFinish },
    handleSubmit,
  } = useForm();

  const onSubmit = (data) => {
    onFinish({
      ...data,
      extraData: "Some extra data"
    });
  };

  return (
    <Create
      saveButtonProps={{
        ...saveButtonProps,
        onClick: handleSubmit(onSubmit),
      }}
    >
      {/* Your form fields */}
    </Create>
  );
};

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { onFinish },
    handleSubmit,
  } = useForm();

  const onSubmit = (data) => {
    onFinish({
      ...data,
      extraData: "Some extra data"
    });
  };

  return (
    <Create
      saveButtonProps={{
        ...saveButtonProps,
        onClick: handleSubmit(onSubmit),
      }}
    >
      {/* Your form fields */}
    </Create>
  );
};

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:

import { Create, SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Button } from "@mui/material";
const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      footerButtons={({ saveButtonProps }) => (
        <>
          <SaveButton
            {...saveButtonProps}
            onClick={(e) => {
              // Your custom logic here to add extra data
              const modifiedData = {
                ...saveButtonProps.onClick.data,
                extraData: "Some extra data"
              };
              saveButtonProps.onClick(e, modifiedData);
            }}
          />
          <Button variant="contained">Custom Button</Button>
        </>
      )}
    >
      <span>Rest of your page here</span>
    </Create>
  );
};

import { Create, SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { Button } from "@mui/material";
const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      footerButtons={({ saveButtonProps }) => (
        <>
          <SaveButton
            {...saveButtonProps}
            onClick={(e) => {
              // Your custom logic here to add extra data
              const modifiedData = {
                ...saveButtonProps.onClick.data,
                extraData: "Some extra data"
              };
              saveButtonProps.onClick(e, modifiedData);
            }}
          />
          <Button variant="contained">Custom Button</Button>
        </>
      )}
    >
      <span>Rest of your page here</span>
    </Create>
  );
};

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

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:

import { SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { onFinish },
    handleSubmit,
  } = useForm();

  const handleSave = (e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => {
    // Prevent the default form submission
    e.preventDefault();

    // Use handleSubmit to get the form data
    handleSubmit((data) => {
      // Add your custom logic here
      const modifiedData = {
        ...data,
        extraData: "Some extra data"
      };

      // Call onFinish with the modified data
      onFinish(modifiedData);
    })(e);
  };

  return (
    <Create>
      {/* Your form fields */}
      <SaveButton {...saveButtonProps} onClick={handleSave} />
    </Create>
  );
};

import { SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    saveButtonProps,
    refineCore: { onFinish },
    handleSubmit,
  } = useForm();

  const handleSave = (e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => {
    // Prevent the default form submission
    e.preventDefault();

    // Use handleSubmit to get the form data
    handleSubmit((data) => {
      // Add your custom logic here
      const modifiedData = {
        ...data,
        extraData: "Some extra data"
      };

      // Call onFinish with the modified data
      onFinish(modifiedData);
    })(e);
  };

  return (
    <Create>
      {/* Your form fields */}
      <SaveButton {...saveButtonProps} onClick={handleSave} />
    </Create>
  );
};

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