How to use List CRUD component after swizzle?

I am attempting to customize the interface of a Refine-Material UI app. I used the swizzle command to swizzle the CRUD components. However, when I modify the List component, I do not see any changes in the app. It seems that the List component from the CRUD directory is not being used by the Refine app, and I need to sub it in somewhere. I can't find where in my app it needs to go. Can anyone help?

Hi @remich. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To customize the List component in your Refine-Material UI app, you need to update the App.tsx file to use your customized List component instead of the default one. Here's how you can do it: 1. Open the src/App.tsx file in your editor. 2. Import your customized List component. Make sure the import path is correct and points to your swizzled List component. 3. Update the resources array in the <Refine> component to use your customized List component for the desired resource. Here's an example of how your App.tsx file should look like after making these changes:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
// ...
import { CustomPostList } from "path/to/your/customized/list/component";

function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={LightTheme}>
      <CssBaseline />
      // ...
      <Refine
        // ...
        resources={[
          {
            name: "posts",
            list: CustomPostList, // Use your customized List component here
            // ...
          },
        ]}
        // ...
      />
      // ...
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
// ...
import { CustomPostList } from "path/to/your/customized/list/component";

function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={LightTheme}>
      <CssBaseline />
      // ...
      <Refine
        // ...
        resources={[
          {
            name: "posts",
            list: CustomPostList, // Use your customized List component here
            // ...
          },
        ]}
        // ...
      />
      // ...
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

Make sure to replace CustomPostList with the name of your customized List component and update the import path accordingly. After making these changes, your app should now use the customized List component. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I added my CustomList component to the resources array in the App file but Refine is still not using my custom component. What else can I try?

---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. I recommend checking the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) for more information on customizing components and troubleshooting issues. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I have it set up like the bot suggested:

import { CustomList } from "./components/crud/list";

import { CustomList } from "./components/crud/list";

           <Refine
              dataProvider={dataProvider("http://localhost:4000")}
              notificationProvider={notificationProvider}
              routerProvider={routerBindings}
              resources={[
              {
                name: "customers",
                list: CustomList,
                create: "/customers/create",
                show: "/customers/show/:id",
                meta: {
                  canDelete: false,
                },
              },

           <Refine
              dataProvider={dataProvider("http://localhost:4000")}
              notificationProvider={notificationProvider}
              routerProvider={routerBindings}
              resources={[
              {
                name: "customers",
                list: CustomList,
                create: "/customers/create",
                show: "/customers/show/:id",
                meta: {
                  canDelete: false,
                },
              },

but it's still not working... I think I figured it out I had to grab the code for the Customer List page, create a new view that was that page, and then use it in the App file in the router as well
