Hi @berdai labs. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To customize the sidebar in a Next.js project using refine, you can follow these steps. The process involves creating a custom sidebar component and integrating it into your refine application. Step-by-Step Guide 1. Set Up Your Project: First, ensure you have a Next.js project set up with refine. If you haven't set it up yet, you can use the create refine-app command-line interface (CLI) to bootstrap a Next.js refine template:

   npm create refine-app@latest refine-storefront

   npm create refine-app@latest refine-storefront

2. Create a Custom Sidebar Component: Create a custom sidebar component. Here is an example of how you can create a custom sidebar component:

   // CustomSider.tsx
   import React from "react";
   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";

   const CustomSider: React.FC = () => {
     return (
       <Sider
         render={({ items, logout }) => {
           return (
             <>
               <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>
               {items}
               {logout}
             </>
           );
         }}
       />
     );
   };

   export default CustomSider;

   // CustomSider.tsx
   import React from "react";
   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";

   const CustomSider: React.FC = () => {
     return (
       <Sider
         render={({ items, logout }) => {
           return (
             <>
               <a href="<https://refine.dev/">👋> Navigation Link</a>
               {items}
               {logout}
             </>
           );
         }}
       />
     );
   };

   export default CustomSider;

3. Integrate the Custom Sidebar into Your Application: Modify your main application file to use the custom sidebar component. Here is an example of how to do this:

   // App.tsx
   import React from "react";
   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
   import CustomSider from "./CustomSider";

   const App: React.FC = () => {
     return (
       <Refine
         // ...
       >
         <ThemedLayoutV2 Sider={() => <CustomSider />}>
           {/* ... */}
         </ThemedLayoutV2>
       </Refine>
     );
   };

   export default App;

   // App.tsx
   import React from "react";
   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
   import CustomSider from "./CustomSider";

   const App: React.FC = () => {
     return (
       <Refine
         // ...
       >
         <ThemedLayoutV2 Sider={() => <CustomSider />}>
           {/* ... */}
         </ThemedLayoutV2>
       </Refine>
     );
   };

   export default App;

Additional Customization - Using the render Prop: You can further customize the default ThemedSiderV2 component using the render prop. Here is an example:

  import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
  import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

  const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
      <Refine
        // ...
      >
        <ThemedLayoutV2
          Sider={() => (
            <ThemedSiderV2
              render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {
                return (
                  <>
                    <div>My Custom Element</div>
                    {items}
                    {logout}
                  </>
                );
              }}
            />
          )}
        >
          {/* ... */}
        </ThemedLayoutV2>
      </Refine>
    );
  };

  export default App;

  import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
  import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

  const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
      <Refine
        // ...
      >
        <ThemedLayoutV2
          Sider={() => (
            <ThemedSiderV2
              render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {
                return (
                  <>
                    <div>My Custom Element</div>
                    {items}
                    {logout}
                  </>
                );
              }}
            />
          )}
        >
          {/* ... */}
        </ThemedLayoutV2>
      </Refine>
    );
  };

  export default App;

- Using the swizzle Command: If you need more extensive customization, you can use the swizzle command to copy the default Sider component to your project and customize it as needed. Refer to the swizzle documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/cli/#swizzle) for more information. References - Customizing the Sidebar with Ant Design (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/themed-layout#sider) - Example of Custom Sidebar (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/master/examples/customization-sider/README.md) By following these steps, you ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
