support can props

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, I can answer your question about the useCreateButton hook and its support for the can prop in refine. The useCreateButton hook is not directly mentioned in the given knowledge sources. However, refine provides a <CreateButton> component that is closely related and likely uses this hook internally. The <CreateButton> component does not directly support a can prop. Instead, it supports an accessControl prop that can be used to handle authorization and control the button's visibility or behavior based on user permissions. Here's how you can use the accessControl prop with the <CreateButton> component:

import { CreateButton } from "@refinedev/mui";

export const MyListComponent = () => {
  return (
    <CreateButton 
      accessControl={{ 
        enabled: true, 
        hideIfUnauthorized: true 
      }} 
    />
  );
};

import { CreateButton } from "@refinedev/mui";

export const MyListComponent = () => {
  return (
    <CreateButton 
      accessControl={{ 
        enabled: true, 
        hideIfUnauthorized: true 
      }} 
    />
  );
};

This example is taken from the Material UI CreateButton documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/buttons/create-button/#accesscontrol). The accessControl prop allows you to: 1. Enable or disable access control checks using the enabled property. 2. Hide the button when the user does not have permission to access the resource using the hideIfUnauthorized property. It's important to note that this functionality is only relevant when an accessControlProvider is provided to the <Refine> component in your application setup. If you need more granular control or custom behavior, you might want to consider using the swizzle command (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/ui-libraries/#using-the-swizzle-command) to customize the CreateButton component according to your specific requirements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I have allready swizzled the CreateButton internally if have const { label, title, disabled, hidden } = useCreateButton({ resource: resourceNameFromProps ?? resourceNameOrRouteName, meta, accessControl, }); but this does not seem to allow canProps={{ resource: 'test' action: "delete", params: { status: state }, }}

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for providing more context about your swizzled CreateButton component. Based on the information you've shared and the knowledge sources available, I can provide some clarification on the usage of access control props in refine. The useCreateButton hook you're using internally in your swizzled component is the correct approach. However, the canProps you're trying to use is not a standard prop for this hook or the CreateButton component in refine. Instead of canProps, refine uses the accessControl prop for handling authorization. The accessControl prop is an object that can be passed to the useCreateButton hook. Here's how you can modify your code to use it correctly:

const { label, title, disabled, hidden } = useCreateButton({
  resource: resourceNameFromProps ?? resourceNameOrRouteName,
  meta,
  accessControl: {
    enabled: true,
    hideIfUnauthorized: true
  },
});

const { label, title, disabled, hidden } = useCreateButton({
  resource: resourceNameFromProps ?? resourceNameOrRouteName,
  meta,
  accessControl: {
    enabled: true,
    hideIfUnauthorized: true
  },
});

This usage is consistent with the documentation for other button components in refine, such as the DeleteButton in Material UI (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/buttons/delete-button/#accesscontrol). If you need to pass specific resource and action parameters for access control, you should do this at a higher level, typically in your accessControlProvider. The accessControlProvider is where you define the logic for determining whether a user can perform certain actions on specific resources. For example, in your accessControlProvider, you might have something like this:

const accessControlProvider = {
  can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
    if (resource === 'test' && action === 'delete') {
      // Your logic here to determine if the user can delete based on the status
      return { can: someCondition };
    }
    // ... other checks
  }
};

const accessControlProvider = {
  can: async ({ resource, action, params }) => {
    if (resource === 'test' && action === 'delete') {
      // Your logic here to determine if the user can delete based on the status
      return { can: someCondition };
    }
    // ... other checks
  }
};

Then, you would pass this accessControlProvider to your <Refine> component at the app level. If you need more granular control at the button level, you might need to implement custom logic within your swizzled component, using the useCan hook. Here's an example of how you might use it:

import { useCan } from "@refinedev/core";

// Inside your component
const { data: canDeleteData } = useCan({
  resource: 'test',
  action: 'delete',
  params: { status: state }
});

// Then use canDeleteData.can to determine if the button should be enabled/visible

import { useCan } from "@refinedev/core";

// Inside your component
const { data: canDeleteData } = useCan({
  resource: 'test',
  action: 'delete',
  params: { status: state }
});

// Then use canDeleteData.can to determine if the button should be enabled/visible

Remember, the exact implementation might vary depending on your specific use case and the version of refine you're using. If you need more specific guidance, you might want to consult the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/) or reach out to their support channels for the most up-to-date information on custom access control implementations. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
