Hi @P4jMepR. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To introduce dark mode/light mode functionality to your CRM Refine example, you can follow these steps. The example below uses Ant Design, which is integrated with Refine. Step-by-Step Guide 1. Create a Header Component with a Theme Switcher: First, create a Header component that includes a button to toggle between light and dark themes.

   import { Space, Button } from "antd";
   import { FC } from "react";
   import { IconMoonStars, IconSun } from "@tabler/icons-react"; // Ensure you have these icons or replace them with your own

   interface HeaderProps {
     theme: "light" | "dark";
     setTheme: (theme: "light" | "dark") => void;
   }

   const Header: FC<HeaderProps> = (props) => {
     return (
       <Space
         direction="vertical"
         align="end"
         style={{
           padding: "1rem",
         }}
       >
         <Button
           onClick={() => {
             props.setTheme(props.theme === "light" ? "dark" : "light");
           }}
           icon={props.theme === "light" ? <IconMoonStars /> : <IconSun />}
         />
       </Space>
     );
   };

   export default Header;

   import { Space, Button } from "antd";
   import { FC } from "react";
   import { IconMoonStars, IconSun } from "@tabler/icons-react"; // Ensure you have these icons or replace them with your own

   interface HeaderProps {
     theme: "light" | "dark";
     setTheme: (theme: "light" | "dark") => void;
   }

   const Header: FC<HeaderProps> = (props) => {
     return (
       <Space
         direction="vertical"
         align="end"
         style={{
           padding: "1rem",
         }}
       >
         <Button
           onClick={() => {
             props.setTheme(props.theme === "light" ? "dark" : "light");
           }}
           icon={props.theme === "light" ? <IconMoonStars /> : <IconSun />}
         />
       </Space>
     );
   };

   export default Header;

2. Integrate the Theme Switcher in Your App Component: Use the ConfigProvider component from Ant Design to switch between light and dark themes based on the current theme state.

   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
   import { ConfigProvider, theme } from "antd";
   import { useState } from "react";
   import Header from "./Header"; // Adjust the import path as necessary

   const App: React.FC = () => {
     const [currentTheme, setCurrentTheme] = useState<"light" | "dark">("dark");
return (
       <ConfigProvider
         theme={{
           algorithm:
             currentTheme === "light"
               ? theme.defaultAlgorithm
               : theme.darkAlgorithm,
         }}
       >
         <Refine
           /* ... */
         >
           <ThemedLayoutV2 Header={() => <Header theme={currentTheme} setTheme={setCurrentTheme} />}>
             {/* ... */}
           </ThemedLayoutV2>
         </Refine>
       </ConfigProvider>
     );
   };

   export default App;

   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
   import { ConfigProvider, theme } from "antd";
   import { useState } from "react";
   import Header from "./Header"; // Adjust the import path as necessary

   const App: React.FC = () => {
     const [currentTheme, setCurrentTheme] = useState<"light" | "dark">("dark");
return (
       <ConfigProvider
         theme={{
           algorithm:
             currentTheme === "light"
               ? theme.defaultAlgorithm
               : theme.darkAlgorithm,
         }}
       >
         <Refine
           /* ... */
         >
           <ThemedLayoutV2 Header={() => <Header theme={currentTheme} setTheme={setCurrentTheme} />}>
             {/* ... */}
           </ThemedLayoutV2>
         </Refine>
       </ConfigProvider>
     );
   };

   export default App;

@kapa.ai Icons seem to be missing? Is it possible to import IcnMoonStars and IconSun?

kapa.ai•5w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To use the IconMoonStars and IconSun icons in your project, you need to ensure that you have the @tabler/icons-react package installed. This package provides a wide range of icons, including the ones you need. Step-by-Step Guide to Install and Use Icons 1. Install the @tabler/icons-react Package: First, you need to install the @tabler/icons-react package. You can do this using npm or yarn:

   npm install @tabler/icons-react
   # or
   yarn add @tabler/icons-react

   npm install @tabler/icons-react
   # or
   yarn add @tabler/icons-react

2. Import and Use the Icons in Your Header Component: After installing the package, you can import the icons and use them in your Header component.

   import { Space, Button } from "antd";
   import { FC } from "react";
   import { IconMoonStars, IconSun } from "@tabler/icons-react"; // Ensure you have these icons or replace them with your own

   interface HeaderProps {
     theme: "light" | "dark";
     setTheme: (theme: "light" | "dark") => void;
   }

   const Header: FC<HeaderProps> = (props) => {
     return (
       <Space
         direction="vertical"
         align="end"
         style={{
           padding: "1rem",
         }}
       >
         <Button
           onClick={() => {
             props.setTheme(props.theme === "light" ? "dark" : "light");
           }}
           icon={props.theme === "light" ? <IconMoonStars /> : <IconSun />}
         />
       </Space>
     );
   };

   export default Header;

   import { Space, Button } from "antd";
   import { FC } from "react";
   import { IconMoonStars, IconSun } from "@tabler/icons-react"; // Ensure you have these icons or replace them with your own

   interface HeaderProps {
     theme: "light" | "dark";
     setTheme: (theme: "light" | "dark") => void;
   }

   const Header: FC<HeaderProps> = (props) => {
     return (
       <Space
         direction="vertical"
         align="end"
         style={{
           padding: "1rem",
         }}
       >
         <Button
           onClick={() => {
             props.setTheme(props.theme === "light" ? "dark" : "light");
           }}
           icon={props.theme === "light" ? <IconMoonStars /> : <IconSun />}
         />
       </Space>
     );
   };

   export default Header;

     return (
       <ConfigProvider
         theme={{
           algorithm:
             currentTheme === "light"
               ? theme.defaultAlgorithm

           <ThemedLayoutV2 Header={() => <Header theme={currentTheme} setTheme={setCurrentTheme} />}>
             {/* ... */}
           </ThemedLayoutV2>
         </Refine>

@kapa.ai Okay. Where can I modify the default theme color pallete?

kapa.ai•5w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To modify the default theme color palette in your Refine application, you can use the extendTheme function provided by Chakra UI or Mantine, depending on which UI framework you are using. Below are the steps for both Chakra UI and Mantine. For Chakra UI 1. Import Required Modules: Import the necessary modules from @chakra-ui/react and @refinedev/chakra-ui.

   import { ChakraProvider, extendTheme } from "@chakra-ui/react";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";

   import { ChakraProvider, extendTheme } from "@chakra-ui/react";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";

2. Extend the Default Theme: Use the extendTheme function to customize the default theme. You can modify the color palette and other theme settings.

   const customTheme = extendTheme({
     ...RefineThemes.Blue, // Start with a base theme
     colors: {
       primary: {
         50: "#e3f2f9",
         100: "#c5e4f3",
         200: "#a2d4ec",
         300: "#7ac1e4",
         400: "#47a9da",
         500: "#0088cc", // Custom primary color
         600: "#007ab8",
         700: "#006ba1",
         800: "#005885",
         900: "#003f5e",
       },
       // Add other custom colors here
     },
   });

   const customTheme = extendTheme({
     ...RefineThemes.Blue, // Start with a base theme
     colors: {
       primary: {
         50: "#e3f2f9",
         100: "#c5e4f3",
         200: "#a2d4ec",
         300: "#7ac1e4",
         400: "#47a9da",
         500: "#0088cc", // Custom primary color
         600: "#007ab8",
         700: "#006ba1",
         800: "#005885",
         900: "#003f5e",
       },
       // Add other custom colors here
     },
   });

3. Apply the Custom Theme: Wrap your application with the ChakraProvider and pass the custom theme.

   const App = () => {
     return (
       <ChakraProvider theme={customTheme}>
         <BrowserRouter>
           <Refine
             /* ... */
           >
             <Routes>
               <Route
                 element={
                   <ThemedLayoutV2>
                     <Outlet />
                   </ThemedLayoutV2>
                 }
               >
                 <Route path="posts">
                   <Route index element={<PostList />} />
                   <Route path="create" element={<PostCreate />} />
                   <Route path="edit/:id" element={<PostEdit />} />
                 </Route>
                 <Route path="*" element={<ErrorComponent />} />
               </Route>
             </Routes>
           </Refine>
         </BrowserRouter>
       </ChakraProvider>
     );
   };

   export default App;

   const App = () => {
     return (
       <ChakraProvider theme={customTheme}>
         <BrowserRouter>
           <Refine
             /* ... */
           >
             <Routes>
               <Route
                 element={
                   <ThemedLayoutV2>
                     <Outlet />
                   </ThemedLayoutV2>
                 }
               >
                 <Route path="posts">
                   <Route index element={<PostList />} />
                   <Route path="create" element={<PostCreate />} />
                   <Route path="edit/:id" element={<PostEdit />} />
                 </Route>
                 <Route path="*" element={<ErrorComponent />} />
               </Route>
             </Routes>
           </Refine>
         </BrowserRouter>
       </ChakraProvider>
     );
   };

   export default App;

For Mantine 1. Import Required Modules: Import the necessary modules from @mantine/core and @refinedev/mantine.

   import { MantineProvider, extendTheme } from "@mantine/core";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/mantine";

   import { MantineProvider, extendTheme } from "@mantine/core";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/mantine";

2. Extend the Default Theme: Use the extendTheme function to customize the default theme. You can modify the color palette and other theme settings.

   const customTheme = {
     ...RefineThemes.Blue, // Start with a base theme
     colors: {
       primary: [
         "#e3f2f9",
         "#c5e4f3",
         "#a2d4ec",
         "#7ac1e4",
         "#47a9da",
         "#0088cc", // Custom primary color
         "#007ab8",
         "#006ba1",
         "#005885",
         "#003f5e",
       ],
       // Add other custom colors here
     },
   };

   const customTheme = {
     ...RefineThemes.Blue, // Start with a base theme
     colors: {
       primary: [
         "#e3f2f9",
         "#c5e4f3",
         "#a2d4ec",
         "#7ac1e4",
         "#47a9da",
         "#0088cc", // Custom primary color
         "#007ab8",
         "#006ba1",
         "#005885",
         "#003f5e",
       ],
       // Add other custom colors here
     },
   };

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To modify the default theme color palette in your Refine application using Ant Design, you can customize the design tokens provided by Ant Design. Here’s how you can do it: Step-by-Step Guide 1. Import Required Modules: Import the necessary modules from antd and @refinedev/antd.

   import { ConfigProvider } from "antd";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/antd";

   import { ConfigProvider } from "antd";
   import { RefineThemes } from "@refinedev/antd";

2. Customize the Theme: You can customize the theme by modifying the design tokens. Here’s an example of how to change the primary color:

   const customTheme = {
     token: {
       colorPrimary: "#1DA57A", // Custom primary color
       // Add other custom tokens here
     },
   };

   const customTheme = {
     token: {
       colorPrimary: "#1DA57A", // Custom primary color
       // Add other custom tokens here
     },
   };

3. Apply the Custom Theme: Wrap your application with the ConfigProvider and pass the custom theme.

@kapa.ai I am using the CRM ant template. Is there a ready API written somewhere for me to look up? Especially the graphql parts I am interested in

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, there is a ready API for the CRM template that you can look up, especially the GraphQL parts. The API documentation and schema are publicly accessible. Accessing the GraphQL API You can explore the GraphQL API schema and documentation using the following endpoint: - GraphQL API Endpoint: <https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql> (https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql) Exploring the Schema To explore the schema, you can use tools like GraphiQL. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Open GraphiQL Online: Visit GraphiQL Online (https://lucasconstantino.github.io/graphiql-online/). 2. Set the Endpoint: Change the endpoint to <https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql.> 3. Run the Schema Query: Use the following query to explore the schema:

   {
     __schema {
       types {
         name
         kind
         fields {
           name
           type {
             name
             kind
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

   {
     __schema {
       types {
         name
         kind
         fields {
           name
           type {
             name
             kind
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

Click the "Play" button to execute the query and explore the schema. Additional Resources - GraphQL API Documentation: <https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql> (https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql) - Backend Configuration Details: Nest.js Query Package (https://doug-martin.github.io/nestjs-query/) Example from Discord Support Thread Here is an example from a Discord support thread that shows how to access the schema:
