useDeleteMany

useDeleteMany is a modified version of react-query's useMutation for multiple delete mutations.

It uses deleteMany method as mutation function from the dataProvider which is passed to <Refine>.

Features

• Shows notifications after the mutation succeeds, fails or gets canceled.

• Automatically invalidates list queries after mutation is succesfully run. Refer to React Query docs for detailed information →

• Supports mutation mode.

Usage

Let's say that we have a resource named categories.

https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev/categories

{
    [
        {
            id: 1,
            title: "E-business",
        },
        {
            id: 2,
            title: "Virtual Invoice Avon",
        },
        {
            id: 3,
            title: "Specialist Avon Steel",
        },
    ];
}

import { useDeleteMany } from "@pankod/refine";

const { mutate } = useDeleteMany();

mutate({
    resource: "categories",
    ids: ["2", "3"],
});

tip

mutate can also accept lifecycle methods like onSuccess and onError.
Refer to react-query docs for further information. →

After mutation runs categories will be updated as below:

https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev/categories

{
    [
        {
            id: 1,
            title: "E-business",
        },
    ];
}

note

Queries that use /categories endpoint will be automatically invalidated to show the updated data. For example, data returned from useList will be automatically updated.

tip

useDeleteMany returns react-query's useMutation result which includes a lot properties, one of which being mutate.

info

Values passed to mutate must have these types.

{
    ids: string[];
    resource: string;
    mutationMode?: MutationMode;
    undoableTimeout?: number;
    onCancel?: (cancelMutation: () => void) => void;
}

Mutation mode

Mutation mode determines the mode which the mutation runs with.

import { useDeleteMany } from "@pankod/refine";

const { mutate } = useDeleteMany();

mutate({
    resource: "categories",
    ids: ["2", "3"],
    mutationMode: "optimistic",
});

Refer to the mutation mode docs for further information. →

Creating a custom method for cancelling mutations

You can pass a custom cancel callback to useUpdate. This callback is triggered instead of the default one when undo button is clicked when mutationMode = "undoable".

caution

Default behaviour on undo action includes notifications. If a custom callback is passed this notification will not appear.

danger

Passed callback will receive a function that actually cancels the mutation. Don't forget to run this function to cancel the mutation on the undoable mode.

import { useDeleteMany } from "@pankod/refine";

const customOnCancel = (cancelMutation: () => void) => {
    cancelMutation();
    // rest of custom cancel logic...
};

const { mutate } = useDeleteMany();

mutate({
    resource: "categories",
    ids: ["1", "2"],
    mutationMode: "undoable",
    undoableTimeout: 7500,
    onCancel: customOnCancel,
});

After 7.5 seconds the mutation will be executed. The mutation can be cancelled within that 7.5 seconds. If cancelled customOnCancel will be executed

API

Properties

Property	Description	Type	Default
resource Required	Resource name for API data interactions	string
ids Required	ids for mutation function	string[]
mutationMode	Determines when mutations are executed	"pessimistic | "optimistic | "undoable"	"pessimistic"*
undoableTimeout	Duration to wait before executing the mutation when mutationMode = "undoable"	number	5000ms*
onCancel	Callback that runs when undo button is clicked on mutationMode = "undoable"	(cancelMutation: () => void) => void
successNotification	Successful Mutation notification	SuccessErrorNotification	"Successfully deleted resource"
errorNotification	Unsuccessful Mutation notification	SuccessErrorNotification	"Error when updating resource (status code: statusCode)"
metaData	Metadata query for dataProvider	MetaDataQuery	{}

*: These props have default values in RefineContext and can also be set on <Refine> component. useDeleteMany will use what is passed to <Refine> as default but a local value will override it.

Type Parameters

Property	Desription	Type	Default
TData	Result data of the mutation. Extends BaseRecord	BaseRecord	BaseRecord
TError	Custom error object that extends HttpError	HttpError	HttpError

Return value

Description	Type
Result of the react-query's useMutation	UseMutationResult< { data: TData }, TError, { resource: string; ids: string[]; }, DeleteContext>*
