Create

<Create> provides us a layout to display the page. It does not contain any logic but adds extra functionalities like action buttons and giving titles to the page.

We'll show what <Create> does using properties with examples.

localhost:3000/posts/create

Swizzle

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

Properties​

title​

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

localhost:3000/posts/create
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Create } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

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

saveButtonProps​

<Create> component has a default button that submits the form. If you want to customize this button you can use the saveButtonProps property like the code below.

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

localhost:3000/posts/create
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Create } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

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

resource​

The <Create> component reads the resource information from the route by default. This default behavior will not work on custom pages. If you want to use the <Create> component in a custom page, you can use the resource prop.

Refer to the custom pages documentation for detailed usage. →

localhost:3000/custom
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { Create } from "@pankod/refine-antd";

import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";

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

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
      routerProvider={{
        ...routerProvider,
        routes: [
          {
            element: <CustomPage />,
            path: "/custom",
          },
        ],
      }}
      dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
      resources={[{ name: "posts" }]}
    />
  );
};
