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.

http://localhost:3000/posts/create
import { Create, useForm, useSelect } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Select } from "antd";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IPost>();

    const { selectProps: categorySelectProps } = useSelect<ICategory>({
        resource: "categories",
    });

    return (
        <Create 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>
        </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".

http://localhost:3000/posts/create
import { Create } from "@refinedev/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. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/create
import { Create } from "@refinedev/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. If you want to use a custom resource for the <Create> component, you can use the resource prop.

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

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

goBack​

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

http://localhost:3000/posts/create
import { Create } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

isLoading​

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

http://localhost:3000/posts/create
import { Create } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

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/create
import { Create, Breadcrumb } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

wrapperProps​

If you want to customize the wrapper of the <Create/> 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/create
import { Create } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

                style: {

                },
            }}
