useDataProvider Hook | Refine v4 - Refine

useDataProvider is a React hook that returns the dataProvider which is passed to <Refine> component.

It is useful when you have multiple data providers and you want to access one of them.

Usage

Let's say we have two data providers:

tsx

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

const App = () => (
  <Refine
    dataProvider={{
      default: dataProvider("API_URL"),
      second: dataProvider("SECOND_API_URL"),
    }}
  >
  </Refine>
);

Now we can access the data providers with the useDataProvider hook:

tsx

import { useDataProvider } from "@refinedev/core";

const dataProvider = useDataProvider();

const defaultDataProvider = dataProvider(); // return default data provider
const secondDataProvider = dataProvider("second"); // return second data provider
