useModalForm

useModalForm hook also allows you to manage a form inside a modal component. It provides some useful methods to handle the form modal.

INFORMATION

useModalForm hook is extended from useForm hook from the @pankod/refine-mantine package. This means that you can use all the features of useForm hook.

Basic Usage​

We'll show three examples, "create", "edit" and "clone". Let's see how useModalForm is used in all.

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

    <TextInput
      mt={8}
      label="Title"
      placeholder="Title"
      {...getInputProps("title")}
    />
    <Box mt={8} sx={{ display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end" }}>
      <SaveButton {...saveButtonProps} />
      <Button onClick={close}>Cancel</Button>
    </Box>
  </Modal>
);

submit​

A function that can submit the form. It's useful when you want to submit the form manually.

const {

      {...getInputProps("title")}
    />
    <Box mt={8} sx={{ display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end" }}>
      <Button onClick={submit}>Save</Button>
    </Box>
  </Modal>
);

show​

A function that can show the modal.

const {
  getInputProps,
  modal: { close, visible, title, show },
} = useModalForm();

const onFinishHandler = (values) => {
  onFinish(values);
  show();
};

return (
  <>
    <Button onClick={}>Show Modal</Button>
    <Modal opened={visible} onClose={close} title={title}>
      <TextInput
        mt={8}
        label="Title"
        placeholder="Title"
        {...getInputProps("title")}
      />
      <Box mt={8} sx={{ display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end" }}>

      </Box>
    </Modal>
  </>

      label="Title"
      placeholder="Title"
      {...getInputProps("title")}
    />
    <Box mt={8} sx={{ display: "flex", justifyContent: "flex-end" }}>
      <Button
        {...saveButtonProps}
        onClick={(e) => {
          // -- your custom logic
          saveButtonProps.onClick(e);
        }}
      />
    </Box>
  </Modal>
);
