how to change base key from Id to identifier

my db sends all data with ID instead of id, I think because of this optimistic updates are not working?

Hi @AK. 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 offer some guidance on changing the base key from "id" to "ID" in refine. This issue is indeed related to how refine handles primary keys, and it can affect optimistic updates. Refine typically assumes that the primary key field is named "id" by default. However, there are ways to customize this behavior: 1. For the Supabase data provider, you can use the idColumnName option in the resource meta to specify a custom ID field name. Here's an example:

<AntdShowInferencer meta={{
    currencies: {
      default: {
        idColumnName: "code",
      }
    }
  }} />

<AntdShowInferencer meta={{
    currencies: {
      default: {
        idColumnName: "code",
      }
    }
  }} />

Github Issue #5356 2. For the Hasura data provider, you can use the idType option to specify the ID type. This can be set globally or per resource:

const myDataProvider = dataProvider(client, {
  idType: "Int",
});

const myDataProvider = dataProvider(client, {
  idType: "Int",
});

Or for specific resources:

const idTypeMap: Record<string, "Int" | "uuid"> = {
  users: "Int",
  posts: "uuid",
};

const myDataProvider = dataProvider(client, {
  idType: (resource) => idTypeMap[resource] ?? "uuid",
});

const idTypeMap: Record<string, "Int" | "uuid"> = {
  users: "Int",
  posts: "uuid",
};

const myDataProvider = dataProvider(client, {
  idType: (resource) => idTypeMap[resource] ?? "uuid",
});

Hasura Data Provider Documentation 3. For other data providers or more custom scenarios, you might need to customize the data provider itself to handle the "ID" field instead of "id". Regarding optimistic updates, you're correct that mismatched ID field names can cause issues. Optimistic updates rely on correctly identifying and updating records in the cache, which depends on the ID field. If you're still experiencing issues with optimistic updates after adjusting the ID field name, you might want to check the optimisticUpdateMap prop of the useForm hook. This allows you to customize how the query cache is updated for each query set during optimistic updates. Optimistic Updates Documentation If these solutions don't fully address your issue, you might need to create a custom data provider that handles the "ID" field consistently throughout your application. Unfortunately, the provided knowledge sources don't contain enough information to give more specific guidance on this approach. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I am using simple-rest

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for providing that information. Since you're using the simple-rest data provider with refine, I can offer some specific guidance on how to handle the ID field issue. For the simple-rest data provider, there isn't a built-in option to change the base key from "id" to "ID". However, you have a couple of options to address this: 1. Customize the data provider: You can swizzle the simple-rest data provider and modify it to work with "ID" instead of "id". Here's how you can do it: a. Run the swizzle command in your project directory:

   npm run refine swizzle

   npm run refine swizzle

b. Select @refinedev/simple-rest from the list of available data providers. c. Edit the /rest-data-provider/index.ts file to customize the data provider. You'll need to modify the functions to use "ID" instead of "id" when constructing URLs and handling responses. d. Use your customized data provider in your app. Simple REST Documentation 2. Override specific methods: If you don't want to customize the entire data provider, you can override specific methods to handle the "ID" field. Here's an example:

   import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

   const simpleRestProvider = dataProvider("API_URL");
   const myDataProvider = {
     ...simpleRestProvider,
     getOne: async ({ resource, id, meta }) => {
       const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;
       const { data } = await httpClient.get(url);
       return {
         data: { ...data, id: data.ID }, // Map ID to id
       };
     },
     // Override other methods as needed
   };

   <Refine dataProvider={myDataProvider}>{/* ... */}</Refine>

   import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

   const simpleRestProvider = dataProvider("API_URL");
   const myDataProvider = {
     ...simpleRestProvider,
     getOne: async ({ resource, id, meta }) => {
       const url = `${apiUrl}/${resource}/${id}`;
       const { data } = await httpClient.get(url);
       return {
         data: { ...data, id: data.ID }, // Map ID to id
       };
     },
     // Override other methods as needed
   };

   <Refine dataProvider={myDataProvider}>{/* ... */}</Refine>

Data Provider FAQ Regarding optimistic updates, after implementing one of these solutions, you should update your optimisticUpdateMap to work with the correct ID field. For example:

useForm({
  optimisticUpdateMap: {
    detail: (previous, { id, ...values }) => {
      return {
        ...previous,
        ...values,
        ID: id, // Use ID instead of id
      };
    },
    // Update other query types as needed
  },
});

useForm({
  optimisticUpdateMap: {
    detail: (previous, { id, ...values }) => {
      return {
        ...previous,
        ...values,
        ID: id, // Use ID instead of id
      };
    },
    // Update other query types as needed
  },
});

useForm Documentation By implementing one of these solutions, you should be able to work with your database's "ID" field and get optimistic updates working correctly. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
