Swizzler generated code
There is few places such as 'Sider' generated by swizzle, where there is functions returning JSX defined inside a component (ex. here Sider Component)
Is there a reason why some of these functions return JSX is defined as its considered as 'possible anti pattern', should I refactor ?
I have attached an example of one of the func, This is from SIDER generated by swizzle

Hi @yaztoosleepy. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
In the extracts provided, there is an example of a custom Sider component generated by swizzle:
In this example, the
render
prop of the Sider
component is used to define a function that returns JSX. This approach is not necessarily an anti-pattern, as it allows you to customize the Sider component's content while still leveraging the built-in functionality provided by refine.
However, if you find that the function is becoming too complex or difficult to maintain, you can consider refactoring it into a separate component. This can help improve readability and maintainability of your code.
In summary, the approach used in the example is not inherently an anti-pattern, but depending on your specific use case and code complexity, you may decide to refactor it for better code organization.

@kapa.ai how to handle custom styles when Im using nextjs with antdesign in refine template
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To handle custom styles when using Next.js with Ant Design in a refine template, you can follow these steps:
1. Create a custom
.less
file for your styles. For example, create a file named styles/antd.less
in your project's src
directory.
2. Import the Ant Design styles and add your custom styles in the antd.less
file:
3. In your App.tsx
file, import the custom .less
file you created:
4. To enable dark mode, you can follow the example provided in the how-to-add-darkmode-in-ant-design (https://refine.dev/blog/how-to-add-darkmode-in-ant-design/) blog post. This example demonstrates how to use the react-css-theme-switcher
package to switch between light and dark themes.
Here's a summary of the changes you need to make in your App.tsx
file:
- Import the ThemeSwitcherProvider
from the react-css-theme-switcher
package.
- Wrap your Refine
component with the ThemeSwitcherProvider
and provide the theme map with the paths to your light and dark theme CSS files.
- Add a theme switcher in your Header
component using the useThemeSwitcher
hook.
For more details and code examples, refer to the how-to-add-darkmode-in-ant-design (https://refine.dev/blog/how-to-add-darkmode-in-ant-design/) blog post.

Hey @yaztoosleepy Is it an anti-pattern to create the logout button like this?

Hi @yildirayunlu

I was asking basically
I'm writing a admin template using refine and its on its initial phase
I see a lot of function spitting out jsx elements inside components itself
Not easy to read honestly but was worried if it was anti-pattern
And when I checked few posts and forum they say its good to stay away from it/ refactor to a component itself
So I came here for second opinion
what is your take on this @yildirayunlu ?
Thanks for the tip!
I'm weighing out options between css modules/scss/styled components/ tailwind
I dont know which to choose to go with nextjs & antd

@yaztoosleepy Thank you for your feedback. We've never met before and if you want to help us fix this, we'll wait for your PR. 🙏🏼
----------------------
When choosing a styling solution for your Next.js and Ant Design project, it's essential to consider your preferences, project requirements, and team familiarity with the technologies. Here's a brief overview of the options you mentioned:
1. CSS Modules: A CSS Modules approach allows you to write modular CSS with locally scoped class names. It's a good choice if you prefer writing plain CSS and want to avoid global styles. Next.js has built-in support for CSS Modules.
2. SCSS: SCSS (Sass) is a CSS preprocessor that adds features like variables, nesting, and mixins. If you prefer a more structured and feature-rich way of writing CSS, SCSS might be a good choice. You can use SCSS with Next.js by following the official guide (https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/built-in-css-support#sass-support).
3. Styled Components: Styled Components is a popular CSS-in-JS library that allows you to write CSS directly in your JavaScript components. It's a good choice if you prefer a component-based approach to styling and want to leverage the full power of JavaScript in your styles. You can use Styled Components with Next.js by following the official example (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-styled-components).
4. Tailwind CSS: Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows you to build custom designs quickly by composing utility classes. It's a good choice if you prefer a fast and consistent way of building UIs without writing custom CSS. You can use Tailwind CSS with Next.js by following the official guide (https://tailwindcss.com/docs/guides/nextjs).
Basic Features: Built-in CSS Support | Next.js
Next.js supports including CSS files as Global CSS or CSS Modules, using
styled-jsx
for CSS-in-JS, or any other CSS-in-JS solution! Learn more here.When using Ant Design, you can still customize the styles using any of the above methods. However, keep in mind that Ant Design uses Less as its styling language. If you need to customize Ant Design components extensively, you might want to consider using Less or a compatible solution.
Ultimately, the choice depends on your preferences and project requirements. You can try out each option in a small project to see which one works best for you and your team.

@kapa.ai how do you propose I use less ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To use Less with Next.js and Ant Design, you can follow these steps:
1. Install the required dependencies:
2. Create a custom
.less
file for your styles. For example, create a file named styles/antd.less
in your project's src
directory.
3. Import the Ant Design styles and add your custom styles in the antd.less
file:
4. In your App.tsx
file, import the custom .less
file you created:
5. Configure Next.js to use the Less loader. Create a next.config.js
file in your project's root directory and add the following configuration:
Now, you can use Less for styling your Next.js and Ant Design project. You can customize Ant Design components and write your custom styles using Less.

@kapa.ai How do I write custom component styles using less in the smae
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To write custom component styles using Less in your Next.js and Ant Design project, follow these steps:
1. Create a new
.less
file for your custom component. For example, if you have a MyComponent.tsx
file, create a corresponding MyComponent.less
file in the same directory.
2. Write your custom styles in the MyComponent.less
file. For example:
3. In your MyComponent.tsx
file, import the custom .less
file you created:
Now, your custom component will have the styles defined in the MyComponent.less
file. This approach allows you to keep your component styles modular and organized.
