Resources on navbar not showing after login
After logging in, resources on navbar are not shown until I refresh page. I can't figure it out as nothing is showing in console and everything is as usual in network tab.

Hi @beg1c. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
This issue could be related to how your resources are set up in your
<Refine />
component or how your routing is configured.
In Refine, resources are defined in the resources
property of the <Refine />
component. These resources define the routes for the CRUD pages. The routes are used by Refine hooks and components. For example, the useNavigation
hook uses the list
, create
, edit
, and show
routes to navigate between the pages. Also, data hooks like useTable
use the resource name when you don't pass the resource
prop. You can refer to the <Refine />
component documentation for more information on the available props source (https://refine.dev/blog/react-admin-panel#adding-resources-and-connect-pages-to-refine-app).
If you're using the new routerProvider
prop, you'll also need to update the usage of useRouterContext
hook, which is deprecated and only works with the legacy router providers. You can replace the Link
usage from useRouterContext
with the useLink
hook source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/discussions/3902).
If you're still facing the issue, it would be helpful to provide a minimal reproducible example or more details about your setup. This could include information about your routing library, Auth0 configuration, or any custom components you're using. You can also check out the Refine Auth0 example using your credentials/tokens to see if you have the same issue source (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1159178293413675032).

@kapa.ai I think my accessControlProvider is not initialising as expected. I can't see Create buttons or Resources on navbar after login, until I refresh whole website. Can you help?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the information provided, it seems like there might be an issue with your
AccessControlProvider
setup. The AccessControlProvider
is used to control access to resources and actions in your application. If it's not set up correctly, it could prevent resources and buttons from appearing as expected.
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Check your AccessControlProvider
setup: Make sure that your AccessControlProvider
is correctly set up and returning the expected values. For example, in the can
function, make sure it's correctly checking the user's roles and returning { can: true }
for the resources and actions the user should have access to. If the can
function returns { can: false }
, the resource or action will be inaccessible to the user source (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/access-control-provider#buttons).
2. Check the hideIfUnauthorized
option: In the options
of the AccessControlProvider
, there's a hideIfUnauthorized
option. If this option is set to true
, buttons will be hidden instead of disabled when access control returns { can: false }
. Make sure this option is set correctly for your needs source (https://refine.dev/docs/authorization/access-control-provider#buttons).
3. Check the accessControl
prop of your buttons: The accessControl
prop of buttons can be used to skip the access control check or to hide the button when the user does not have the permission to access the resource. Make sure this prop is set correctly for your buttons source (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/chakra-ui/components/buttons/create-button#accesscontrol).
4. Check your resource setup: Make sure your resources are correctly set up in your <Refine />
component. If resources are not set up correctly, they might not appear in the sider menu source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/4852).
If you're still facing the issue after checking these things, it would be helpful to provide more details about your setup or a minimal reproducible example.

@kapa.ai Can you look at my provider?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Your
accessControlProvider
seems to be set up correctly. It uses the getPermissions
method from the authProvider
to get the user's role, and then uses an enforcer (presumably from a library like casbin
) to check if the user has permission to perform the action on the resource.
However, there are a few things you might want to check:
1. Check the getPermissions
method: Make sure the getPermissions
method in your authProvider
is correctly returning the user's role. You can add a console.log(role)
after the getPermissions
call to check this.
2. Check the enforcer: Make sure your enforcer is correctly set up and the enforce
method is working as expected. You can add a console.log(can)
after the enforce
call to check this.
3. Check the resource
and action
values: Make sure the resource
and action
values passed to the can
function are what you expect. You can add a console.log(resource, action)
at the start of the can
function to check this.
4. Check the Promise resolution: The can
function should return a Promise that resolves to an object with a can
property. Your code seems to be doing this correctly, but you might want to check that the Promise is resolving as expected.
If you're still facing issues after checking these things, it might be helpful to provide more details about your setup or a minimal reproducible example.

@kapa.ai So it look like getPermissions function is not called after login. How can it be solved?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
getPermissions
function is part of the authProvider
and is used to get the user's permissions. If it's not being called after login, it could be due to a few reasons:
1. Check your authProvider
setup: Make sure the getPermissions
function is defined in your authProvider
and is being exported correctly.
2. Check the login
function: The getPermissions
function is typically called after the login
function in the authProvider
. Make sure your login
function is correctly setting up the user's session and returning a successful response.
3. Check the usage of usePermissions
hook: The getPermissions
function is called under the hood when you use the usePermissions
hook. Make sure you're using this hook in your components where you need to check the user's permissions.
Here's an example of how you might use the usePermissions
hook:
In this example, usePermissions
calls the getPermissions
method from the authProvider
and logs a message if the user has admin permissions source (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/hooks/use-permissions/).
If you're still facing issues after checking these things, it might be helpful to provide more details about your setup or a minimal reproducible example.

@kapa.ai I can solve it like this, by retrieving role in can: method, but then App is sending 15 requests on every resource change.
If I don't set it out of can, then role is not updated when it changes.
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The issue you're facing is due to the fact that the
can
method in the accessControlProvider
is called for each resource and action, and in your case, it's also calling the getPermissions
method each time. This results in multiple requests being sent.
One way to optimize this is to store the user's role in a state and update it only when necessary, instead of calling getPermissions
every time. However, this would require you to manually trigger an update when the role changes.
Another approach could be to use a caching mechanism to store the result of the getPermissions
call. This way, subsequent calls to getPermissions
could return the cached result instead of making a new request. This could be done using a library like react-query (https://react-query.tanstack.com/) or similar.
Here's a basic example of how you might use react-query for this:
In this example, react-query will cache the result of the fetchPermissions
function and use the cached result for subsequent calls. This should reduce the number of requests being sent.
Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it to fit your specific use case. For example, you might need to handle loading and error states, and you might need to set up a mechanism to invalidate or update the cache when the user's role changes. You can refer to the react-query documentation (https://react-query.tanstack.com/guides/queries) for more information on how to do this.
