How to use my custom layouts if Layout prop in Refine components is deprecated.

Hi @mflash.. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- In the new version of refine, the Layout prop is indeed deprecated and no longer works with the new routing system. However, you can still use your custom layouts by wrapping them around the components you want to render. Here's an example of how you can use a custom layout:

const App: React.FC = () => (  
 <Refine  
 ...  
 Layout={({ children }) => (  
 <div style={{ display: "flex", flexDirection: "column" }}>  
 <div>Custom Layout</div>  
 <div>{children}</div>  
 </div>  
 )}  
 />  
);

const App: React.FC = () => (  
 <Refine  
 ...  
 Layout={({ children }) => (  
 <div style={{ display: "flex", flexDirection: "column" }}>  
 <div>Custom Layout</div>  
 <div>{children}</div>  
 </div>  
 )}  
 />  
);

In this example, the Layout prop is a function that returns a React component. This function receives an object with the children prop, which represents the components you want to render inside your custom layout. You can also use the Sider, Header, Footer, and OffLayoutArea props to customize different parts of your layout. However, these props are also deprecated and won't have any effect when using the new router providers. Instead, you can use the UI components exported from the refine package inside your app while creating your routes and pages. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Custom Layout documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/custom-layout/).

How to enable custom route with SSR? @kapa.ai How to enable custom route with SSR?

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To enable custom routes with Server Side Rendering (SSR) in refine, you can use Next.js. Refine allows you to build your SSR supported web applications using Next.js. Here's an example of how to create a simple SSR supported CMS Admin panel:

npm create refine-app@latest -- --example with-nextjs

npm create refine-app@latest -- --example with-nextjs

If you want to add authentication features to your refine app in Next.js, you can use the following command:

npm create refine-app@latest -- --example with-nextjs-auth

npm create refine-app@latest -- --example with-nextjs-auth

For more detailed information, you can refer to the refine Next.js documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs/). Sources: - Next.js Example (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/next-js) - Next.js with Authentication Example (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/next-js/auth) ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai can u provide easy example how to define custom route as a SSR with refine?

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Sure, to define a custom route as a Server Side Rendering (SSR) with refine, you need to wrap your pages in a custom App component using the <Refine> component. Here's an example:

import { AppProps } from "next/app";  
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine";  
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/nextjs-router";  

const API_URL = "<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";>  

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps): JSX.Element {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 routerProvider={routerProvider}  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}  
 >  
 <Component {...pageProps} />  
 </Refine>  
 );  
}  

export default MyApp;

import { AppProps } from "next/app";  
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine";  
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/nextjs-router";  

const API_URL = "<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";>  

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps): JSX.Element {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 routerProvider={routerProvider}  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}  
 >  
 <Component {...pageProps} />  
 </Refine>  
 );  
}  

export default MyApp;

In this example, the <Refine> component wraps your pages and integrates them into refine. The routerProvider and dataProvider props are used to set up routing and data fetching respectively. For more detailed information, you can refer to the SSR-Next.js Basic Usage guide (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-and-concepts/ssr/nextjs/).

@kapa.ai how to get refine

s nextjs version?

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To get the Next.js version of refine, you can use the create refine-app command with the -p refine-nextjs option. Here's an example:

npm create refine-app@latest -- -p refine-nextjs my-refine-nextjs-app

npm create refine-app@latest -- -p refine-nextjs my-refine-nextjs-app

This command will create a new refine project with Next.js. The -p refine-nextjs option specifies that you want to use the Next.js version of refine. For more detailed information, you can refer to the refine Next.js documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs/).

@kapa.ai ERROR in ./node_modules/@pankod/refine-nextjs-router/dist/esm/index.js 2:0-40 Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'next/router' in '/home/dd/code/UF/uf-hedless/node_modules/@pankod/refine-nextjs-router/dist/esm'

kapa.ai•2y ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The error message you're seeing suggests that the next/router module cannot be found. This could be due to a few reasons: 1. The next package is not installed in your project. You can install it using the following command:

npm install next

npm install next

2. There might be an issue with your node_modules directory. Try deleting your node_modules directory and package-lock.json file (or yarn.lock if you're using Yarn), and then reinstall your dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

3. The @pankod/refine-nextjs-router package is deprecated and has been moved to @refinedev/nextjs-router. Make sure to install the correct package:

npm install @refinedev/nextjs-router

npm install @refinedev/nextjs-router

Remember to replace all instances of @pankod/refine-nextjs-router with @refinedev/nextjs-router in your code. For more detailed information, you can refer to the refine Next.js documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/routers/nextjs/).
