Update <TextInput /> value in react-admin with an API response?

Question

How can I change the <TextInput /> value in react admin to get an updated value which is from the API response?

Here is the code:

<TextInput source="..." label="..." />

I've tried to get used to setValue, and getValues from the useForm hook. But it doesn't work.

The [email protected] now using react-hook-form. So you can use the useFormContext to get the setValue

But it only effects when you wrap your form with the FormProvider (in react-admin the provider will be something like <SimpleFormConfigurable>)

const ControlledTextInput = ({ value, ...props }) => {
  const { setValue } = useFormContext();

  React.useEffect(() => {
    setValue(props.source, value);
  }, [value]);

  return <TextInput {...props} />;
};


// ==========

<SimpleFormConfigurable>
   <ControlledTextInput
      source="title"
      validate={required("Required field")}
      value="this value was provide by API response"
   />
</SimpleFormConfigurable>
