Edit

<Edit> provides us a layout for displaying the page. It does not contain any logic but adds extra functionalities like a refresh button.

We will show what <Edit> does using properties with examples.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/123
interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
    category: { id: number };
}

import { Edit, useForm, useSelect } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Select } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, queryResult } = useForm<IPost>({
        warnWhenUnsavedChanges: true,
    });

    const postData = queryResult?.data?.data;
    const { selectProps: categorySelectProps } = useSelect<ICategory>({
        resource: "categories",
        defaultValue: postData?.category.id,
    });

    return (
        <Edit saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
            <Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
                <Form.Item
                    label="Title"
                    name="title"
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item
                    label="Category"
                    name={["category", "id"]}
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Select {...categorySelectProps} />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item
                    label="Status"
                    name="status"
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Select
                        options={[
                            {
                                label: "Published",
                                value: "published",
                            },
                            {
                                label: "Draft",
                                value: "draft",
                            },
                            {
                                label: "Rejected",
                                value: "rejected",
                            },
                        ]}
                    />
                </Form.Item>
            </Form>
        </Edit>
    );
};
Swizzle

You can swizzle this component to customize it with the refine CLI

Properties​

title​

It allows adding titles inside the <Edit> component. if you don't pass title props it uses the "Edit" prefix and singular resource name by default. For example, for the "posts" resource, it will be "Edit post".

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit title="Custom Title">
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

saveButtonProps​

The <Edit> component has a save button by default. If you want to customize this button you can use the saveButtonProps property like the code below.

Clicking on the save button will submit your form.

Refer to the <SaveButton> documentation for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit saveButtonProps={{ size: "small" }}>
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

canDelete and deleteButtonProps​

canDelete allows us to add the delete button inside the <Edit> component. If the resource has the canDelete property,refine adds the delete button by default. If you want to customize this button you can use the deleteButtonProps property like the code below.

When clicked on, the delete button executes the useDelete method provided by the dataProvider.

Refer to the <DeleteButton> documentation for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/123
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { usePermissions } from "@refinedev/core";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    const { data: permissionsData } = usePermissions();
    return (
        <Edit
            canDelete={permissionsData?.includes("admin")}
            deleteButtonProps={{ size: "small" }}
            saveButtonProps={{ size: "small" }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

Refer to the usePermission documentation for detailed usage. →

resource​

<Edit> component reads the resource information from the route by default. If you want to use a custom resource for the <Edit> component, you can use the resource prop.

http://localhost:3000/custom/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const CustomPage: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit resource="posts">
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

recordItemId​

The <Edit> component reads the id information from the route by default. recordItemId is used when it cannot read from the URL(when used on a custom page, modal or drawer).

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit, useModalForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Modal, Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    const { modalProps, id, show } = useModalForm({
        action: "edit",
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <Button onClick={() => show()}>Edit Button</Button>
            <Modal {...modalProps}>
                <Edit recordItemId={id}>
                    <p>Rest of your page here</p>
                </Edit>
            </Modal>
        </div>
    );
};
note

The <Edit> component needs the id information for the <RefreshButton> to work properly.

mutationMode​

Determines which mode mutation will have while executing <DeleteButton> .

Refer to the mutation mode docs for further information. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
interface IPost {
    id: number;
    title: string;
    content: string;
    status: "published" | "draft" | "rejected";
    category: { id: number };
}

import { Edit, useForm, useSelect } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Select } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps, queryResult } = useForm<IPost>({
        warnWhenUnsavedChanges: true,
    });

    const postData = queryResult?.data?.data;
    const { selectProps: categorySelectProps } = useSelect<ICategory>({
        resource: "categories",
        defaultValue: postData?.category.id,
    });

    return (
        <Edit
            mutationMode="undoable"
            canDelete
            saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}
        >
            <Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
                <Form.Item
                    label="Title"
                    name="title"
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Input />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item
                    label="Category"
                    name={["category", "id"]}
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Select {...categorySelectProps} />
                </Form.Item>
                <Form.Item
                    label="Status"
                    name="status"
                    rules={[
                        {
                            required: true,
                        },
                    ]}
                >
                    <Select
                        options={[
                            {
                                label: "Published",
                                value: "published",
                            },
                            {
                                label: "Draft",
                                value: "draft",
                            },
                            {
                                label: "Rejected",
                                value: "rejected",
                            },
                        ]}
                    />
                </Form.Item>
            </Form>
        </Edit>
    );
};

dataProviderName​

If not specified, Refine will use the default data provider. If you have multiple data providers and want to use a different one, you can use the dataProviderName property.

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit = () => {
    return <Edit dataProviderName="other">...</Edit>;
};

export const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Refine
            dataProvider={{
                default: dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev/"),
                other: dataProvider("https://other-api.fake-rest.refine.dev/"),
            }}
        >
            {/* ... */}
        </Refine>
    );
};

goBack​

To customize the back button or to disable it, you can use the goBack property.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/123
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    const BackButton = () => <Button>←</Button>;
    return (
        <Edit goBack={<BackButton />}>
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

isLoading​

To toggle the loading state of the <Edit/> component, you can use the isLoading property.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit isLoading={true}>
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

To customize or disable the breadcrumb, you can use the breadcrumb property. By default it uses the Breadcrumb component from @refinedev/antd package.

Refer to the Breadcrumb documentation for detailed usage. →

tip

This feature can be managed globally via the <Refine> component's options

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit, Breadcrumb } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            breadcrumb={
                <div
                    style={{
                        padding: "3px 6px",
                        border: "2px dashed cornflowerblue",
                    }}
                >
                    <Breadcrumb />
                </div>
            }
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

wrapperProps​

If you want to customize the wrapper of the <Edit/> component, you can use the wrapperProps property. For @refinedev/antd wrapper elements are simple <div/>s and wrapperProps can get every attribute that <div/> can get.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            wrapperProps={{
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

headerProps​

If you want to customize the header of the <Edit/> component, you can use the headerProps property.

Refer to the PageHeader documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            headerProps={{
                subTitle: "This is a subtitle",
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

contentProps​

If you want to customize the content of the <Edit/> component, you can use the contentProps property.

Refer to the Card documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            contentProps={{
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

headerButtons​

By default, the <Edit/> component has a <ListButton> and a <RefreshButton> at the header.

You can customize the buttons at the header by using the headerButtons property. It accepts React.ReactNode or a render function ({ defaultButtons, refreshButtonProps, listButtonProps }) => React.ReactNode which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own.

caution

If "list" resource is not defined, the <ListButton> will not render and listButtonProps will be undefined.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            headerButtons={({ defaultButtons }) => (
                <>
                    {defaultButtons}
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

Or, instead of using the defaultButtons, you can create your own buttons. If you want, you can use refreshButtonProps and listButtonProps to utilize the default values of the <ListButton>list-button and <RefreshButton>refresh-button components.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit, ListButton, RefreshButton } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            headerButtons={({ refreshButtonProps, listButtonProps }) => (
                <>
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                    <RefreshButton
                        {...refreshButtonProps}
                        meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                    />
                    {listButtonProps && (
                        <ListButton
                            {...listButtonProps}
                            meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                        />
                    )}
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

headerButtonProps​

You can customize the wrapper element of the buttons at the header by using the headerButtonProps property.

Refer to the Space documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            headerButtonProps={{
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
            headerButtons={<Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

footerButtons​

By default, the <Edit/> component has a <SaveButton> and a <DeleteButton> at the footer.

You can customize the buttons at the footer by using the footerButtons property. It accepts React.ReactNode or a render function ({ defaultButtons, saveButtonProps, deleteButtonProps }) => React.ReactNode which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own.

caution

If canDelete is false, the <DeleteButton> will not render and deleteButtonProps will be undefined.

http://localhost:3000/posts/edit/2
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            footerButtons={({ defaultButtons }) => (
                <>
                    {defaultButtons}
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

Or, instead of using the defaultButtons, you can create your own buttons. If you want, you can use saveButtonProps and deleteButtonProps to utilize the default values of the <SaveButton> and <DeleteButton> components.

import { Edit, SaveButton, DeleteButton } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            footerButtons={({ saveButtonProps, deleteButtonProps }) => (
                <>
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                    <SaveButton {...saveButtonProps} hideText />
                    {deleteButtonProps && (
                        <DeleteButton {...deleteButtonProps} hideText />
                    )}
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};

footerButtonProps​

You can customize the wrapper element of the buttons at the footer by using the footerButtonProps property.

Refer to the Space documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

import { Edit } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Edit
            footerButtonProps={{
                style: {
                    float: "right",
                    marginRight: 24,
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Edit>
    );
};
