Hi @tarang._. 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 sidebar (also known as the Sider component) in Refine with Material UI (mui) in several ways. One way is to use the render property of the <Sider> component. The render property is a function that receives an object with the items and logout properties. The items property is the list of navigation items and the logout property is the logout button. Here is an example:

import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const CustomSider = () => {  
 return (  
 <Sider  
 render={({ items, logout }) => {  
 return (  
 <>  
 <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>  
 {items}  
 {logout}  
 </>  
 );  
 }}  
 />  
 );  
};  
  
const CustomLayout = () => {  
 return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
};

import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const CustomSider = () => {  
 return (  
 <Sider  
 render={({ items, logout }) => {  
 return (  
 <>  
 <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>  
 {items}  
 {logout}  
 </>  
 );  
 }}  
 />  
 );  
};  
  
const CustomLayout = () => {  
 return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
};

(Source: Refine FAQ (https://refine.dev/docs/faq/#how-can-i-add-an-item-to-the-sider-component)) Another way is to customize the default <ThemedSiderV2> component either by using its props or with the swizzle feature. Here is an example of how to customize the default <ThemedSiderV2> component using the render and Title prop:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomTitle } from "./CustomTitle";  
  
const App: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 // ...  
 >  
 <ThemedLayoutV2  
 Sider={() => (  
 <ThemedSiderV2  
 Title={({ collapsed }) => <CustomTitle collapsed={collapsed} />}  
 render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {  
 return (  
 <>  
 <div>My Custom Element</div>  
 {items}  
 {logout}  
 </>  
 );  
 }}  
 />  
 )}  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </ThemedLayoutV2>  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomTitle } from "./CustomTitle";  
  
const App: React.FC = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 // ...  
 >  
 <ThemedLayoutV2  
 Sider={() => (  
 <ThemedSiderV2  
 Title={({ collapsed }) => <CustomTitle collapsed={collapsed} />}  
 render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {  
 return (  
 <>  
 <div>My Custom Element</div>  
 {items}  
 {logout}  
 </>  
 );  
 }}  
 />  
 )}  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </ThemedLayoutV2>  
 </Refine>  
 );  
};

@kapa.ai how can i hide logout from side bar

kapa.ai•8mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can hide the logout button from the sidebar by customizing the render prop of the Sider component. The render prop is a function that receives an object with the items and logout properties. If you don't include the logout in the return of the render function, it won't be displayed. Here is an example:

import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const CustomSider = () => {  
 return (  
 <Sider  
 render={({ items }) => {  
 return <>{items}</>;  
 }}  
 />  
 );  
};  
  
const CustomLayout = () => {  
 return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
};

import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/mui";  
  
const CustomSider = () => {  
 return (  
 <Sider  
 render={({ items }) => {  
 return <>{items}</>;  
 }}  
 />  
 );  
};  
  
const CustomLayout = () => {  
 return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;  
};

In this example, only the items are returned from the render function, so the logout button will not be displayed in the sidebar. Please note that this will remove the logout functionality from the sidebar, so you should provide another way for users to log out of your application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai how do i change color of side abr

kapa.ai•8mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can change the color of the sidebar (Sider) in Refine by customizing the theme. Here is an example of how to do it:

import { createTheme } from "@refinedev/mui";

const custom = createTheme({
    palette: {
        ...LightTheme.palette,
        sidebar: {
            main: "#4f3cc9", // Your desired color
        },
    },
    components: {
        MuiAppBar: {
            styleOverrides: {
                colorDefault: {
                    backgroundColor: "#4f3cc9", // Your desired color
                },
            },
        },
    },
});

import { createTheme } from "@refinedev/mui";

const custom = createTheme({
    palette: {
        ...LightTheme.palette,
        sidebar: {
            main: "#4f3cc9", // Your desired color
        },
    },
    components: {
        MuiAppBar: {
            styleOverrides: {
                colorDefault: {
                    backgroundColor: "#4f3cc9", // Your desired color
                },
            },
        },
    },
});

In this example, the color of the sidebar is changed to #4f3cc9. You can replace this with any color you want. Please note that this will change the color of the entire sidebar. If you want to change the color of specific elements within the sidebar, you might need to use CSS or styled-components. For more information on theming in Refine, you can check out the Theming documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/theming/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Hey @tarang._, looks like the bot did a good job answering the questions. The content of the sidebar is determined by the resources field of the <Refine /> component and if you have provided an authProvider, it will also display a logout button. You can hide it via using the render prop like the bot suggested. Changing the color can be done by customizing the theme of Material UI. Have a nice day! 🚀
