useResource

useResource is used to get the resources array that you defined in <Refine>. It also returns the resource object. You can pass a resource name or identifier to match a resource or it will return the resource object that matches the current route.

If you pass a resource name or identifier to useResource, it will return the resource object that matches the name or identifier. If there is no match, a temporary resource will be created with the provided name or identifier.

Usage​

Without parameters​

If you don't pass any parameter to useResource, it will return the resource object that matches the current route by default. If there is no match, the resource will be undefined.

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

const { resources, resource, action, id } = useResource();

With a resource name or identifier​

If you pass a resource name or identifier to useResource, it will return the resource object that matches the name or identifier. If there is no match, a temporary resource will be created with the provided name or identifier.

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

const { resource } = useResource("posts");

If you don't pass any parameter to useResource, it will try to infer the resource from the current route. If there is no match, the resource and identifier will be undefined.
