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

----------------------
You can customize the menu item name and route by using the

meta

meta

property in the 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'.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment!

I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the

meta

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

name

property. To change the route, you can use the 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

Route

from

I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems that the property is not directly available in the . However, you can achieve the desired behavior by customizing the sidebar using the 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 that uses the hook to get the menu items and the

useNavigation

useNavigation

hook to handle navigation. We then replace the default sidebar with our custom sidebar using the

layout

layout

prop in the

Refine

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)

efficient-indigo•4/27/23, 5:39 PM

For the older versions, you can use the

options

options

property to define a custom label

efficient-indigo•4/27/23, 5:41 PM

It will be like;
