usePublish

usePublish returns the publish method from liveProvider. It is useful when you want to publish a custom event.

Refine uses this hook internally in mutation hooks to publish events after successful mutations. You can refer to the liveProvider's Publish Events from Hooks section for more information.

Usage

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

const publish = usePublish();

publish({
channel: "custom-channel-name",
type: "custom-event-name",
payload: {
ids: [1, 2, 3],
"custom-property": "custom-property-value",
},
date: new Date(),
});
CAUTION

This method is used to publish an event on the client side. Beware that publishing events on the client side is not recommended and the best practice is to publish events from the server side. You can refer Publish Events from API to see which events should be published from the server.
