Can you use Refine only on a specific route?

I want to use refine for all my /admin screens but not for the rest of the nextjs13 app

Hi @synisme. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can use Refine on specific routes in your Next.js application. Refine provides a flexible routing system that allows you to define your routes separately, giving you more control over your routes. To accomplish this, you would define your resources in the <Refine> component and then create a catch-all route to render the matching route in your resources. Here's an example of how you might set this up:

return (  
 <Refine  
 resources={[  
 {  
 name: "posts",  
 list: "/admin/posts",  
 show: "/admin/posts/show/:id",  
 },  
 {  
 name: "categories",  
 list: "/admin/categories",  
 },  
 ]}  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
);

return (  
 <Refine  
 resources={[  
 {  
 name: "posts",  
 list: "/admin/posts",  
 show: "/admin/posts/show/:id",  
 },  
 {  
 name: "categories",  
 list: "/admin/categories",  
 },  
 ]}  
 >  
 {/* ... */}  
 </Refine>  
);

Then, you would create a catch-all route to render the matching route in your resources:

import { RefineRoutes } from "@refinedev/nextjs-router";  
import { ErrorPage } from "components/error";  
  
export default function CatchAll() {  
 return (  
 <RefineRoutes>  
 {(matchingRoute) => {  
 if (matchingRoute) {  
 return { matchingRoute };  
 }  
 return <ErrorPage />;  
 }}  
 </RefineRoutes>  
 );  
}

import { RefineRoutes } from "@refinedev/nextjs-router";  
import { ErrorPage } from "components/error";  
  
export default function CatchAll() {  
 return (  
 <RefineRoutes>  
 {(matchingRoute) => {  
 if (matchingRoute) {  
 return { matchingRoute };  
 }  
 return <ErrorPage />;  
 }}  
 </RefineRoutes>  
 );  
}

This way, Refine will only be used for your /admin routes, and not for the rest of your Next.js application. For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on Next.js router integrations (https://refine.dev/docs/router-integrations/next-js/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
