Can I use useList and populate it with a connection to different resources

Hi @SetiZ. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can use useList and populate it with connections to different resources in refine. This is particularly useful when dealing with relational data. The useList hook in refine supports populating related data through the meta property. Here's how you can do it:

const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
  meta: {
    populate: ["category", "cover"],
  },
});

const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
  meta: {
    populate: ["category", "cover"],
  },
});

In this example, the populate parameter is used to specify which fields should be populated. This will fetch posts and include the related category and cover data. For more complex relationships, you can use nested populate:

const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
  meta: {
    populate: {
      category: {
        populate: ["cover"],
      },
      cover: {
        populate: [""],
      },
    },
  },
});

const { tableProps } = useTable<IPost>({
  meta: {
    populate: {
      category: {
        populate: ["cover"],
      },
      cover: {
        populate: [""],
      },
    },
  },
});

This approach allows you to populate multiple levels of related data. It's important to note that the exact implementation may depend on your data provider. The examples above are specifically for the Strapi v4 data provider. For more detailed information on how to use useList with populated data, you can refer to these resources: Strapi v4 Relations Population Handling Relationships Remember that the ability to populate related data and the exact syntax may vary depending on your backend API and the data provider you're using with refine. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Thank you for pointing that out. Let me provide you with the correct information about using useList with populated data. You can indeed use useList to fetch data and populate it with connections to different resources. Here's an example of how to use useList with the populate option:

const { data: products } = useList<IProduct>({
  resource: "products",
  meta: {
    populate: ["category"],
  },
});

const { data: products } = useList<IProduct>({
  resource: "products",
  meta: {
    populate: ["category"],
  },
});

In this example, the useList hook is used to fetch products and populate the related category data. This approach is documented in the refine documentation. For more detailed information, you can refer to: Refine Strapi v4 documentation It's important to note that the exact implementation may depend on your data provider. The example above is specifically for the Strapi v4 data provider. For more complex relationships, you can use nested populate with useList as well:

const { data: products } = useList<IProduct>({
  resource: "products",
  meta: {
    populate: {
      category: {
        populate: ["subcategory"],
      },
    },
  },
});

const { data: products } = useList<IProduct>({
  resource: "products",
  meta: {
    populate: {
      category: {
        populate: ["subcategory"],
      },
    },
  },
});

This allows you to populate multiple levels of related data. Thank you again for catching that error. It's crucial to provide accurate information about refine's features and usage. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
