React-admin: Camelcase in source props of <Input> components changes json attribute when creating form.

[kayuapi]

Hi, I am not sure whether I should report this under bug or make it a proposed feature...

What you were expecting:

When doing a create operation on database, I expected that the source props of components determine the json attribute. For example,

<FormTab label="resources.choices.tabs.details" path="details">
    <NumberInput 
      source="priceRange"
    />
</FormTab>

I was expecting a json like this {priceRange: ...} to pass to backend when saving the form.

What happened instead:

the above produces a json like this {price_range: ...} when passed to the backend.

Thank you.

This is most probably done by your dataProvider. The react-admin components do not transform the source.

I see, I thought I was specifying the attributes of the json I'm going to submit to the backend through the source, and react-admin transforms it from camelCase to snake_case, which is not what I wanted.

You are specifying them but it looks like your dataProvider is changing them. Please provide a codesandbox showing the issue or ask the question on Stackoverflow.

Yup, it's the data provider... thanks!
