Hi @oshiri3676. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
In the meta data for a resource type, you can pass a Material UI icon as the
icon
property. Here's how you can do it:
Replace YourMaterialIcon
with the Material UI icon you want to use.
For more information, refer to the Refine component documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/refine-component#meta).

@kapa.ai - My material icon appears to be an OverrideableComponent<SvgIconTypeMap> which is not compatible with what the icon metadata is expecting.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
icon
property in the meta
object of a resource expects a ReactNode
. If you're using Material UI icons, you should import the icon and use it directly as a component. Here's an example:
In this example, Camera
is a Material UI icon used as the icon for a resource. If you're seeing a type error, it might be due to a mismatch between the expected and actual types. Make sure you're using the icon as a React component as shown in the example.
