useModalForm

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

info

useModalForm hook is extended from useForm hook from the @refinedev/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.

import React from "react";
import { useTable } from "@refinedev/react-table";
import { ColumnDef, flexRender } from "@tanstack/react-table";

        refineCoreProps: { action: "create" },
        initialValues: {

        },
        validate: {
            title: (value) => (value.length < 2 ? "Too short title" : null),
            status: (value) =>
                value.length <= 0 ? "Status is required" : null,

All mantine useForm return values also available in useModalForm. You can find descriptions on mantine docs.

        <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 {
    modal: { submit },

        <TextInput
            mt={8}
            label="Title"
            placeholder="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"

    </>
);

saveButtonProps​

It contains all the props needed by the "submit" button within the modal (disabled,loading etc.). You can manually pass these props to your custom button.

const { getInputProps, modal, saveButtonProps } = useModalForm();

return (
    <Modal {...modal}>
        <TextInput
            mt={8}
            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>
);
