Hi @Deleted User. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

You can customize the menu item name and route by using the
meta
property in the resources
array. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
In this example, the menu item will have the name "CustomName" and the route will be "/Dashboard".

@kapa.ai
its did not work I got this alert:
ERROR in src/App.tsx:152:15
TS2322: Type '{ name: string; list: () => JSX.Element; show: () => JSX.Element; create: () => JSX.Element; edit: () => JSX.Element; icon: JSX.Element; meta: { label: string; route: string; }; }' is not assignable to type 'ResourceProps'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'meta' does not exist in type 'ResourceProps'
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the
meta
property is deprecated and only works with the legacy routers. In the new routing system, you should define the paths by the actions of the resource.
However, you can still customize the menu item name using the name
property. To change the route, you can use the list
property to define a custom path for the list action. Here's an example:
In this example, the menu item will have the name "CustomName" and the route will be "/Dashboard". Note that you'll need to import Route
from react-router-dom
.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems that the
label
property is not directly available in the ResourceProps
. However, you can achieve the desired behavior by customizing the sidebar using the useMenu
hook.
Here's an example of how you can create a custom sidebar with a different label for the menu item:
In this example, we create a custom sidebar component CustomSidebar
that uses the useMenu
hook to get the menu items and the useNavigation
hook to handle navigation. We then replace the default sidebar with our custom sidebar using the layout
prop in the Refine
component.
This way, you can change the label of the menu item without affecting the route.

useMenu is used to get menu items derived from the resources. These items include a link to the dashboard page (if it exists) and links to the user-defined resources (passed as children to ``).

Hey @Deleted User looks like you are using the older version of refine. We recommend to keep refine up to date, at least for the major versions (we’re currently at v4)
For the older versions, you can use the
options
property to define a custom label
It will be like;

If you decide to migrate to v4 from v3, here is our migration guide https://refine.dev/docs/migration-guide/3x-to-4x/
Migrating from 3.x.x to 4.x.x | refine
