<EditBase>

<EditBase> is a headless variant of <Edit>: it fetches a record based on the URL, prepares a form submit handler, and renders its children inside an EditContext. Use it to build a custom edition page layout.

Contrary to <Edit>, it does not render the page layout, so no title, no actions, and no <Card>.

<EditBase> relies on the useEditController hook.

Usage

Use <EditBase> to create a custom Edition view, with exactly the content you add as child and nothing else (no title, Card, or list of actions as in the <Edit> component).

import { EditBase, SelectInput, SimpleForm, TextInput, Title } from "react-admin";
import { Card, CardContent, Container } from "@mui/material";

export const BookEdit = () => (
    <EditBase>
        <Container>
            <Title title="Book Edition" />
            <Card>
                <CardContent>
                    <SimpleForm>
                        <TextInput source="title" />
                        <TextInput source="author" />
                        <SelectInput source="availability" choices={[
                            { id: "in_stock", name: "In stock" },
                            { id: "out_of_stock", name: "Out of stock" },
                            { id: "out_of_print", name: "Out of print" },
                        ]} />
                    </SimpleForm>
                </CardContent>
            </Card>
        </Container>
    </EditBase>
);
