Hi @Justin. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The useMenu hook is part of the Refine framework and is used to get menu items derived from the resources. It should be imported from the @refinedev/core package. If you're getting an error, it might be due to incorrect import or usage. Here is the correct way to import and use the useMenu hook:

import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";  

const { selectedKey, menuItems, defaultOpenKeys } = useMenu();

import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";  

const { selectedKey, menuItems, defaultOpenKeys } = useMenu();

The useMenu hook returns menuItems (a list of style agnostic menu items), selectedKey (the key of the resource user is viewing at the moment), and defaultOpenKeys (the array with the keys of default opened menus). If you're still facing issues, it might be due to the migration from version 3.x.x to 4.x.x. The useMenu hook has been removed from @pankod/refine-mui and @pankod/refine-antd and now needs to be exported from the @refinedev/core package. If you were previously using these packages, you need to update your import statement as follows:

// Old import
// import { useMenu } from "@pankod/refine-mui";  

// New import
import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";

// Old import
// import { useMenu } from "@pankod/refine-mui";  

// New import
import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";

If you're still facing issues, please provide more details about your code and usage for further assistance.

@kapa.ai Thats what im already doing

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry to hear that you're still experiencing issues. The error message you're seeing typically indicates that the function you're trying to use is not being imported correctly, or it's not available in the package you're importing from. If you're sure that you're importing useMenu from @refinedev/core correctly, then there might be an issue with your package installation. Here are a few steps you can try: 1. Ensure that your @refinedev/core package is up to date. You can update it using npm or yarn:

   npm update @refinedev/core
   # or
   yarn upgrade @refinedev/core

   npm update @refinedev/core
   # or
   yarn upgrade @refinedev/core

2. If updating doesn't solve the issue, try deleting your node_modules folder and package-lock.json or yarn.lock file, then reinstall your packages:

   rm -rf node_modules
   rm package-lock.json # or yarn.lock
   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

   rm -rf node_modules
   rm package-lock.json # or yarn.lock
   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

3. If you're still facing issues, there might be a problem with your project configuration. If possible, try to create a new project using the Refine scaffold and see if you can use useMenu there. If it works in the new project, you can compare the configurations of the two projects to find any differences.

   npx @refinedev/create

   npx @refinedev/create

If none of these steps solve your issue, please provide more details about your project configuration and the context in which you're using useMenu. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

man this is pretty annoying 😐 anyone else has any idea? well i fixed it by making a wrapper component which uses 'use client';

judicial-coral•4mo ago

Hey @Justin which version are you using? We are already adding 'use client' directive in the recent versions. If you are using the latest version and having the same error, could you create an issue on GitHub?
