<Create>
provides us a layout to display the page. It does not contain any logic and just 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
Show Code Hide Code import React from "react" ; import { Create , useAutocomplete } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Autocomplete , Box , TextField } from "@mui/material" ; import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form" ; import { Controller } from "react-hook-form" ; const SampleCreate = ( ) => { const { saveButtonProps , refineCore : { formLoading } , register , control , formState : { errors } , } = useForm ( ) ; const { autocompleteProps : categoryAutocompleteProps } = useAutocomplete ( { resource : "categories" , } ) ; return ( < Create isLoading = { formLoading } saveButtonProps = { saveButtonProps } > < Box component = " form " sx = { { display : "flex" , flexDirection : "column" } } autoComplete = " off " > < TextField { ... register ( "title" , { required : "This field is required" , } ) } error = { ! ! ( errors as any ) ?. title } helperText = { ( errors as any ) ?. title ?. message } margin = " normal " fullWidth InputLabelProps = { { shrink : true } } type = " text " label = " Title " name = " title " /> < TextField { ... register ( "content" , { required : "This field is required" , } ) } error = { ! !

"" ) ; } } isOptionEqualToValue = { ( option , value ) => value === undefined || option ?. id ?. toString ( ) === ( value ?. id ?? value ) ?. toString ( ) } renderInput = { ( params ) => ( < TextField { ... params } label = " Category " margin = " normal " variant = " outlined " error = { ! ! ( errors as any ) ?. category ?. id } helperText = { ( errors as any ) ?. category ?. id ?. message } required /> ) } /> ) } /> </ Box > </ Create > ) ; } ;
You can swizzle this component with the refine CLI to customize it.
Properties title
title
allows the addition of titles inside the <Create>
component. If you don't pass title props it uses "Create" prefix and singular resource name by default. For example, for the /posts/create
resource, it would be "Create post".
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Typography } from "@mui/material" ; const CreatePage : React . FC = ( ) => { return ( < Create title = { < Typography variant = " h5 " > Custom Title </ Typography > } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
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.
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const CustomPage : React . FC = ( ) => { return ( < Create resource = " posts " > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ 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 →
The <Create>
component has a default button that submits the form. If you want to customize this button you can use the saveButtonProps
property like the code below:
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { return ( < Create saveButtonProps = { { size : "small" } } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
For more information, refer to the <SaveButton>
documentation →
goBack
To customize the back button or to disable it, you can use the goBack
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Button } from "@mui/material" ; import { useBack } from "@refinedev/core" ; const BackButton = ( ) => { const goBack = useBack ( ) ; return < Button onClick = { goBack } > BACK! </ Button > ; } ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { return ( < Create goBack = { < BackButton /> } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
isLoading
To toggle the loading state of the <Create/>
component, you can use the isLoading
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create isLoading = { loading } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
breadcrumb
To customize or disable the breadcrumb, you can use the breadcrumb
property. By default it uses the Breadcrumb
component from @refinedev/mui
package.
This feature can be managed globally via the <Refine>
component's options
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create , Breadcrumb } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { return ( < Create breadcrumb = { < div style = { { padding : "3px 6px" , border : "2px dashed cornflowerblue" , } } > < Breadcrumb /> </ div > } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
For more information, refer to the Breadcrumb
documentation →
wrapperProps
If you want to customize the wrapper of the <Create/>
component, you can use the wrapperProps
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create wrapperProps = { { sx : { backgroundColor : "lightsteelblue" , } , } } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
For more information, refer to the Card
documentation from Material UI →
If you want to customize the header of the <Create/>
component, you can use the headerProps
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create headerProps = { { sx : { backgroundColor : "lightsteelblue" , } , } } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
For more information, refer to the CardHeader
documentation from Material UI →
contentProps
If you want to customize the content of the <Create/>
component, you can use the contentProps
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create contentProps = { { sx : { backgroundColor : "lightsteelblue" , } , } } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
For more information, refer to the CardContent
documentation from Material UI →
You can customize the buttons at the header by using the headerButtons
property. It accepts React.ReactNode
or a render function ({ defaultButtons }) => React.ReactNode
which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Button } from "@mui/material" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create headerButtons = { ( { defaultButtons } ) => ( < > { defaultButtons } < Button type = " primary " > Custom Button </ Button > </ > ) } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
You can customize the wrapper element of the buttons at the header by using the headerButtonProps
property.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Button } from "@mui/material" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create headerButtonProps = { { sx : { backgroundColor : "lightsteelblue" , } , } } headerButtons = { ( { defaultButtons } ) => ( < > { defaultButtons } < Button type = " primary " > Custom Button </ Button > </ > ) } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;

documentation from Material UI →
By default, the <Create/>
component has a <SaveButton>
at the header.
You can customize the buttons at the footer by using the footerButtons
property. It accepts React.ReactNode
or a render function ({ defaultButtons, saveButtonProps }) => React.ReactNode
which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Button } from "@mui/material" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create footerButtons = { ( { defaultButtons } ) => ( < > { defaultButtons } < Button type = " primary " > Custom Button </ Button > </ > ) } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
Or, instead of using the defaultButtons
, you can create your own buttons. If you want, you can use saveButtonProps
to utilize the default values of the <SaveButton>
component.
localhost:3000/posts/create
Show Code Hide Code import { Create , SaveButton } from "@refinedev/mui" ; import { Button } from "@mui/material" ; const PostCreate : React . FC = ( ) => { const [ loading , setLoading ] = React . useState ( true ) ; return ( < Create footerButtons = { ( { saveButtonProps } ) => ( < > < SaveButton { ... saveButtonProps } type = " primary " sx = { { marginRight : 8 } } > Save </ SaveButton > < Button type = " primary " > Custom Button </ Button > </ > ) } > < span > Rest of your page here </ span > </ Create > ) ; } ;
You can customize the wrapper element of the buttons at the footer by using the footerButtonProps
property.
