Resource with no list view

I have an API path that's used for getting and updating a single item with no list. I'm having a hard time working around the fact that ThemedSiderV2 only renders resources with a List item. Pointing the List property to me Edit page doesn't seem to work, and swizzling seems like a lot of overhead for something that should be simple. Is there some property that I can simply pass to ThemedSiderV2 that will add an additional menu item?

Hi @chris. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address the issue of adding a resource with no list view to the ThemedSiderV2 component, you can use the resources property of the <Refine> component to render the navigation links. If a resource has a list property, it will be rendered as a navigation link in the sider. However, if you want to add a custom item to the sider without having a list view, you can define the resource with a list property pointing to a custom path. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";  
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <BrowserRouter>  
      <Refine  
        resources={[  
          {  
            name: "singleItem",  
            edit: "/single-item/edit/:id",  
            list: "/single-item/edit/:id", // Pointing list to the edit path
            meta: {  
                label: "Single Item",  
                icon: "🔧",  
            },  
          },  
        ]}  
      >  
        <Routes>  
          <Route  
            element={  
              <ThemedLayoutV2>  
                <Outlet />  
              </ThemedLayoutV2>  
            }  
          >  
            <Route path="/single-item/edit/:id" element={<YourEditComponent />} />  
          </Route>  
        </Routes>  
      </Refine>  
    </BrowserRouter>  
  );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";  
import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <BrowserRouter>  
      <Refine  
        resources={[  
          {  
            name: "singleItem",  
            edit: "/single-item/edit/:id",  
            list: "/single-item/edit/:id", // Pointing list to the edit path
            meta: {  
                label: "Single Item",  
                icon: "🔧",  
            },  
          },  
        ]}  
      >  
        <Routes>  
          <Route  
            element={  
              <ThemedLayoutV2>  
                <Outlet />  
              </ThemedLayoutV2>  
            }  
          >  
            <Route path="/single-item/edit/:id" element={<YourEditComponent />} />  
          </Route>  
        </Routes>  
      </Refine>  
    </BrowserRouter>  
  );  
};

In this example, the list property is set to the same path as the edit property. This will ensure that the resource appears in the sider menu, and clicking on it will navigate to the edit page. For more details, you can refer to the documentation on adding an item to the Sider component (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/faq/#how-can-i-add-an-item-to-the-sider-component). If you need further customization, you might consider swizzling the ThemedSiderV2 component, but the above approach should work for simple cases. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

This works but then the dataprovider tries to do a Create instead of Edit @kapa.ai this works but then the dataprovider tries to do a create instead of edit

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To ensure that the dataProvider performs the correct operation (edit instead of create), you need to make sure that the useForm hook is correctly configured to use the edit action. Here is an example of how you can set up the useForm hook for the edit page:

import React from "react";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const YourEditComponent = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm({
        resource: "singleItem",
        action: "edit",
        id: "1", // Replace with the actual ID you want to edit
    });

    return (
        <Form {...formProps}>
            <Form.Item name="name" label="Name">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Form.Item>
                <Button {...saveButtonProps}>Save</Button>
            </Form.Item>
        </Form>
    );
};

export default YourEditComponent;

import React from "react";
import { useForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Form, Input, Button } from "antd";

const YourEditComponent = () => {
    const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm({
        resource: "singleItem",
        action: "edit",
        id: "1", // Replace with the actual ID you want to edit
    });

    return (
        <Form {...formProps}>
            <Form.Item name="name" label="Name">
                <Input />
            </Form.Item>
            <Form.Item>
                <Button {...saveButtonProps}>Save</Button>
            </Form.Item>
        </Form>
    );
};

export default YourEditComponent;

In this example, the useForm hook is configured with the resource and action properties to ensure it performs the edit operation. The id property should be set to the ID of the item you want to edit. Additionally, make sure your dataProvider is correctly set up to handle the edit action. Here is a basic structure of a dataProvider:

const dataProvider = {
    getOne: async ({ resource, id }) => {
        // Fetch the item by ID
    },
    update: async ({ resource, id, variables }) => {
        // Update the item by ID
    },
    // Other dataProvider methods...
};

export default dataProvider;

const dataProvider = {
    getOne: async ({ resource, id }) => {
        // Fetch the item by ID
    },
    update: async ({ resource, id, variables }) => {
        // Update the item by ID
    },
    // Other dataProvider methods...
};

export default dataProvider;

For more information on configuring the useForm hook and dataProvider, you can refer to the documentation on forms (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/forms/#server-side-validation-) and data providers (https://refine.dev/blog/build-internal-tools-using-low-code-with-refine/#communicate-with-the-api).

if anyone else comes across this I had to set id: "" to make the id an empty string for useForm along with action: "edit"
