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 will show what <Create> does using properties with examples.

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create, useForm, useSelect } from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { Select, TextInput } from "@mantine/core";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  const { saveButtonProps, getInputProps } = useForm<IPost>({
    initialValues: {
      title: "",
      status: "",
      category: {
        id: "",
      },
    },
    validate: {
      title: (value) => (value.length < 2 ? "Too short title" : null),
      status: (value) => (value.length <= 0 ? "Status is required" : null),
      category: {
        id: (value) => (value.length <= 0 ? "Category is required" : null),
      },
    },
  });

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

  return (
    <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
      <form>
        <TextInput
          mt={8}
          label="Title"
          placeholder="Title"
          {...getInputProps("title")}
        />
        <Select
          mt={8}
          label="Status"
          placeholder="Pick one"
          {...getInputProps("status")}
          data={[
            { label: "Published", value: "published" },
            { label: "Draft", value: "draft" },
            { label: "Rejected", value: "rejected" },
          ]}
        />
        <Select
          mt={8}
          label="Category"
          placeholder="Pick one"
          {...getInputProps("category.id")}
          {...selectProps}
        />
      </form>
    </Create>
  );
};

Good to know:

You can swizzle this component with the Refine CLI to customize it.

Properties

title

title allows the addition of titles inside the <Create> component by passing title props. If you don't pass title props, however, it uses the "Create" prefix and the singular resource name by default. For example, for the /posts/create resource, it would be "Create post".

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";
import { Title } from "@mantine/core";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      title={<Title order={3}>Custom Title</Title>}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Create>
  );
};

saveButtonProps

saveButtonProps can be used to customize the default button of the <Create> component that submits the form:

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

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

For more information, refer to the <SaveButton> documentation →

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.

localhost:3000/custom

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

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

If you have multiple resources with the same name, you can pass the identifier instead of the name of the resource. It will only be used as the main matching key for the resource, data provider methods will still work with the name of the resource defined in the <Refine/> component.

For more information, refer to the identifier section of the <Refine/> component documentation →

goBack

To customize the back button or to disable it, you can use the goBack property. You can pass false or null to hide the back button.

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

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

isLoading

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

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

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

localhost:3000/posts/create

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

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/mantine wrapper element is <Card>s and wrapperProps can get every attribute that <Card> can get.

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      wrapperProps={{
        style: {
          border: "2px dashed cornflowerblue",
          padding: "16px",
        },
      }}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Create>
  );
};

For more information, refer to the Card documentation from Mantine →

headerProps

If you want to customize the header of the <Create/> component, you can use the headerProps property.

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      headerProps={{
        style: {
          border: "2px dashed cornflowerblue",
          padding: "16px",
        },
      }}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Create>
  );
};

For more information, refer to the Group documentation from Mantine →

contentProps

If you want to customize the content of the <Create/> component, you can use the contentProps property.

localhost:3000/posts/create

import { Create } from "@refinedev/mantine";

const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Create
      contentProps={{
        style: {
          border: "2px dashed cornflowerblue",
          padding: "16px",

    </Create>
  );
};

          <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
        </>
      )}
