useModalForm

useModalForm hook allows you to manage a form within a modal. It returns Ant Design Form and Modal components props.

import { useModalForm } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

const { modalProps, formProps } = useModalForm<IPost>({
    action: "create", // or "edit"
});

All we have to do is to pass the modalProps to <Modal> and formProps to <Form> components.

Usage

We'll show two examples, one for creating and one for editing a post. Let's see how useModalForm is used in both.

Create Modal

In this example, we will show you how to create a record with useModalForm.

pages/posts/list.tsx

import { useModalForm, Modal, Form, Create, Radio, List, Input } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
    const { modalProps, formProps, show } = useModalForm<IPost>({
        action: "create",
    });

    return (
        <>
            <List
                createButtonProps={{
                    onClick: () => {
                        show();
                    },
                }}
            >
                ...
            </List>
            <Modal {...modalProps}>
                <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>
            </Modal>
        </>
    );
};

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 <Modal> appear when you click the button.

Edit Modal

Let's learn how to add editing capabilities to records that will be opening form in Modal by using the action prop.

pages/posts/list.tsx

import {
    useModalForm,
    Modal,
    Form,
    Create,
    Radio,
    List,
    Table,
    EditButton,
    Input
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";

export const PostList: React.FC = () => {
    const {
        modalProps,
        formProps,
        show,
        id,
    } = useModalForm<IPost>({
        action: "edit",
    });

    return (
        <>
            <List>
                <Table>
                    ...
                    <Table.Column<IPost>
                        title="Actions"
                        dataIndex="actions"
                        key="actions"
                        render={(_value, record) => (
                            <EditButton onClick={() => show(record.id)} />
                        )}
                    />
                </Table>
            </List>
            <Modal {...modalProps}>
                <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>
            </Modal>
        </>
    );
};

interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
}

警告

refine doesn't automatically add a edit button to the each record in <PostList> which opens edit form in <Modal> when clicked.

So, we have to put the edit buttons on our list. In that way, <Edit> form in <Modal> can fetch data by the record id.

<Table.Column<IPost>
    title="Actions"
    dataIndex="actions"
    key="actions"
    render={(_value, record) => <EditButton onClick={() => show(record.id)} />}
/>

警告

Don't forget to pass the record id to show to fetch the record data. This is necessary for both edit and clone forms.

API Reference

Properties

*: These props have default values in RefineContext and can also be set on <Refine> component. useModalForm will use what is passed to <Refine> as default but a local value will override it.

**: If not explicitly configured, default value of redirect depends on which action used. If action is create, redirects default value is edit (created resources edit page). If action is edit instead, redirects default value is list.
