useDrawerForm
useDrawerForm hook allows you to manage a form within a Drawer. It returns Ant Design Form and Drawer components props.
import { useDrawerForm } from "@pankod/refine-antd";
const { drawerProps, formProps } = useDrawerForm<IPost>({
action: "create", // or "edit"
});
All we have to do is to pass the drawerProps to <Drawer> and formProps to <Form> components.
Usage
We'll do two examples, one for creating and one for editing a post. Let's see how useDrawerForm is used in both.
Create Drawer
import { useDrawerForm, Drawer, Form, Create, Radio, List, Input } from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const {
formProps,
drawerProps,
show,
saveButtonProps,
} = useDrawerForm<IPost>({
action: "create",
});
return (
<>
<List
createButtonProps={{
onClick: () => {
show();
},
}}
>
...
</List>
<Drawer {...drawerProps}>
<Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title">
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Status" name="status">
<Radio.Group>
<Radio value="draft">Draft</Radio>
<Radio value="published">Published</Radio>
<Radio value="rejected">Rejected</Radio>
</Radio.Group>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Create>
</Drawer>
</>
)
}
interface IPost {
id: number;
title: string;
status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}
createButtonProps allows us to create and manage a button above the table.
createButtonProps={{
onClick: () => {
show();
},
}}
This code block makes <Drawer> appear when you click the button.
saveButtonProps allows us to manage the save button in the drawer.

Edit Drawer
Let's learn how to add editing capabilities to the records that will be opening form in Drawer with using action prop.
import {
useDrawerForm,
Drawer,
Form,
Create,
Radio,
List,
Edit,
Table,
EditButton,
Input
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
const {
drawerProps,
formProps,
show,
saveButtonProps,
deleteButtonProps,
id,
} = useDrawerForm<IPost>({
action: "edit",
});
return (
<>
<List>
<Table>
...
<Table.Column<IPost>
title="Actions"
dataIndex="actions"
key="actions"
render={(_value, record) => (
<EditButton
size="small"
recordItemId={record.id}
onClick={() => show(record.id)}
/>
)}
/>
</Table>
</List>
<Drawer {...drawerProps}>
<Edit
saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}
deleteButtonProps={deleteButtonProps}
recordItemId={id}
>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Title" name="title">
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Status" name="status">
<Radio.Group>
<Radio value="draft">Draft</Radio>
<Radio value="published">Published</Radio>
<Radio value="rejected">Rejected</Radio>
</Radio.Group>
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Edit>
</Drawer>
</>
)
}
interface IPost {
id: number;
title: string;
status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}
refine doesn't automatically add a edit button to the each record in <PostList> which opens edit form in <Drawer> when clicking.
So, we have to put the edit buttons on our list. In that way, <Edit> form in <Drawer> can fetch data by the record id.
<Table.Column<IPost>
title="Actions"
dataIndex="actions"
key="actions"
render={(_value, record) => (
<EditButton
size="small"
recordItemId={record.id}
onClick={() => show(record.id)}
/>
)}
/>
The saveButtonProps and deleteButtonProps gives us the ability of saving and deleting buttons in the drawer.
