Edit

<EditButton> uses shadcn/ui's <Button> component and the edit method from useNavigation under the hood.

It can be useful when redirecting the app to the edit page with the record id route of the resource.

Installation

npx shadcn@latest add https://ui.refine.dev/r/buttons.json

This will add all button components including EditButton.

Usage

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";
import { Table, TableBody, TableCell, TableRow } from "@/components/ui/table";

const PostList = () => {
const posts = [
{ id: 1, title: "First Post" },
{ id: 2, title: "Second Post" },
];

return (
<Table>
<TableBody>
{posts.map((post) => (
<TableRow key={post.id}>
<TableCell>{post.title}</TableCell>
<TableCell>
<EditButton resource="posts" recordItemId={post.id} />
</TableCell>
</TableRow>
))}
</TableBody>
</Table>
);
};

Properties

recordItemId

recordItemId is used to append the record id to the end of the route path. By default, the recordItemId is inferred from the route params.

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";

const MyComponent = () => {
return <EditButton resource="posts" recordItemId="123" />;
};

Clicking the button will trigger the edit method of useNavigation and then redirect the app to the edit action path of the resource, filling the necessary parameters in the route.

resource

resource is used to redirect the app to the edit action of the given resource name. By default, the app redirects to the inferred resource's edit action path.

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";

const MyComponent = () => {
return <EditButton resource="categories" recordItemId="123" />;
};

Clicking the button will trigger the edit method of useNavigation and then redirect the app to the edit action path of the resource, filling the necessary parameters in the route.

meta

It is used to pass additional parameters to the edit method of useNavigation. By default, existing parameters in the route are used by the edit method. You can pass additional parameters or override the existing ones using the meta prop.

If the edit action route is defined by the pattern: /posts/:authorId/edit/:id, the meta prop can be used as follows:

const MyComponent = () => {
return <EditButton meta={{ authorId: "10" }} />;
};

hideText

It is used to show and not show the text of the button. When true, only the button icon is visible.

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";

const MyComponent = () => {
return <EditButton recordItemId="123" hideText={true} />;
};

accessControl

This prop can be used to skip access control check with its enabled property or to hide the button when the user does not have the permission to access the resource with hideIfUnauthorized property. This is relevant only when an accessControlProvider is provided to <Refine/>.

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";

const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<EditButton
accessControl={{
enabled: true,
hideIfUnauthorized: true,
}}
/>
);
};

children

It is used to change the text of the button. By default, the text is "Edit".

import { EditButton } from "@/components/refine-ui/buttons/edit";

const MyComponent = () => {
return <EditButton recordItemId="123">Modify</EditButton>;
};
