How do I avoid a timeout when I send a response to the server and the response takes a long time?

I need to get a server response after a long time.

Hi @florent. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To handle long-running server requests in refine and avoid timeouts, you can use the overtimeOptions property available in various hooks. This feature allows you to show loading indicators or messages when a request takes longer than expected. Here's how you can implement it: 1. Use the overtimeOptions property in the hook you're working with (e.g., useUpdate, useForm, useShow, etc.). 2. Set an interval for checking the elapsed time and an onInterval function to handle each interval. 3. Use the returned overtime object to access the elapsedTime. Here's an example of how you can implement this:

const { overtime } = useUpdate({
  // ... other options
  overtimeOptions: {
    interval: 1000, // Check every 1 second
    onInterval(elapsedInterval) {
      console.log(elapsedInterval);
    },
  },
});

// You can use it like this:
{overtime.elapsedTime >= 4000 && <div>This is taking longer than expected...</div>}

const { overtime } = useUpdate({
  // ... other options
  overtimeOptions: {
    interval: 1000, // Check every 1 second
    onInterval(elapsedInterval) {
      console.log(elapsedInterval);
    },
  },
});

// You can use it like this:
{overtime.elapsedTime >= 4000 && <div>This is taking longer than expected...</div>}

This approach doesn't prevent timeouts on the server side, but it allows you to provide feedback to the user while waiting for a long-running request to complete. You can customize the messages or actions based on the elapsed time. The overtimeOptions feature is available in many refine hooks, including: - useUpdate - useForm - useShow - useOne - useCustom - useList Remember to adjust the server-side timeout settings if necessary to accommodate long-running processes. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Is it possible to perform the next task without waiting for the server's response, and then receive and process the response when it comes from the server?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, it is possible to perform the next task without waiting for the server's response and then process the response when it arrives. This approach aligns with the asynchronous programming paradigm, which is well-supported in refine. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Asynchronous Programming: Refine leverages React Query for data fetching and caching, which inherently supports asynchronous operations. This means you can initiate a request and continue with other tasks without blocking the execution. Documentation > Docs > Guides-concepts > General Concepts explains: "Refine leverages React Query for data fetching and caching, which enhances the performance and user experience of applications. React Query provides efficient data synchronization between your server and UI, making it easier to handle background updates, cache management, and data invalidation." 2. Optimistic Updates: Refine provides optimistic update capabilities, allowing you to update the UI immediately without waiting for the server response. This gives users instant feedback while the actual server operation happens in the background. Documentation > Docs > Guides-concepts > General Concepts states: "When a mutation occurs, Refine will automatically update the related queries with the new data, this means that your users will see the changes instantly. If the mutation fails, Refine will automatically rollback the changes and re-fetch the related queries." 3. Mutation Modes: Refine offers different mutation modes to handle updates: - Optimistic: Updates the UI immediately and processes the server response in the background. - Pessimistic: Waits for the server response before updating the UI. - Undoable: Updates the UI immediately but allows for undoing the action within a specified time frame. You can choose the appropriate mode based on your requirements. 4. Example Implementation: Here's a basic example of how you might implement this using the useUpdate hook:

   const { mutate } = useUpdate();

   const handleUpdate = () => {
     // Perform the update optimistically
     mutate(
       {
         resource: "posts",
         id: 1,
         values: { title: "New Title" },
       },
       {
         mutationMode: "optimistic",
         onSuccess: (data) => {
           // Handle successful update
           console.log("Update successful:", data);
         },
         onError: (error) => {
           // Handle error
           console.error("Update failed:", error);
         },
       }
     );

     // Continue with the next task immediately
     console.log("Continuing with next task...");
   };

   const { mutate } = useUpdate();

   const handleUpdate = () => {
     // Perform the update optimistically
     mutate(
       {
         resource: "posts",
         id: 1,
         values: { title: "New Title" },
       },
       {
         mutationMode: "optimistic",
         onSuccess: (data) => {
           // Handle successful update
           console.log("Update successful:", data);
         },
         onError: (error) => {
           // Handle error
           console.error("Update failed:", error);
         },
       }
     );

     // Continue with the next task immediately
     console.log("Continuing with next task...");
   };

In this example, the UI will be updated immediately, and you can continue with other tasks. The onSuccess and onError callbacks will be called when the server response is received, allowing you to handle the result accordingly. By utilizing these features, you can create a responsive user interface that doesn't block on server responses, while still ensuring data consistency and proper error handling. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Can I use server api response webhook?

kapa.ai•4w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about using server API response webhooks in refine. The available information doesn't directly address this functionality. However, refine is built on top of React and is designed to be flexible and extensible. It's possible that you could implement webhook functionality using custom hooks or by extending the existing data providers. If you need to implement webhook functionality in your refine application, I would recommend: 1. Checking the official refine documentation for any updates or new features related to webhooks. 2. Asking about this specific use case in the refine Discord community, where you might get more up-to-date information or guidance from the developers and other users. 3. Considering implementing a custom solution using React hooks if webhook support is crucial for your application. If you have a more specific use case or requirement regarding webhooks, please provide more details, and I'll try to offer more targeted advice based on the available information about refine. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
