`useCreateContext`

Whenever react-admin displays a creation page, it creates a CreateContext to store the submit callback.

The CreateContext is available to descendants of:

<Create>,
<CreateBase>,

All descendant components can therefore access the Create context, using the useCreateContext hook.

Usage

Call useCreateContext in a component that is a descendant of a Create component.

import { Create, useCreateContext, SimpleForm, TextInput } from 'react-admin';

export const PostCreate = ({ id }) => (
    <CreateBase resource="posts" id={id} aside={<Aside />}>
       <PostCreateForm />
    </CreateBase>
);

const PostCreateForm = () => {
    const { save } = useCreateContext();
    return (
         <SimpleForm onSubmit={save}>
            <TextInput source="title" />
            <TextInput source="views" />
        </SimpleForm>
    );
};

Return Value

The useCreateContext hook returns an object with the same keys as returned by useCreateController:

const {
    defaultTitle, // the translated title based on the resource, e.g. 'Create New Post'
    redirect, // the default redirection route. Defaults to 'list'
    resource, // the resource name, deduced from the location. e.g. 'posts'
    save, // the update callback, to be passed to the underlying form as submit handler
    saving, // boolean that becomes true when the dataProvider is called to create the record
} = useCreateContext();
