Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can define custom metadata values at the top level of your resources, and these values will be accessible in the data provider. The meta property is designed to store additional information about the resource, and it can be used to pass custom data to the data provider methods. Here is an example of how you can define a resource with custom metadata and access it in the data provider: Defining the Resource with Custom Metadata

<Refine
  resources={[
    {
      name: "bankAccounts",
      show: "/accountsAndWallets/bankAccounts/show/:id",
      meta: {
        icon: <></>,
        parent: "accountsAndWallets",
        label: "Bank Accounts",
        resourceRoute: "test/bankAccounts",
      },
    },
  ]}
/>

<Refine
  resources={[
    {
      name: "bankAccounts",
      show: "/accountsAndWallets/bankAccounts/show/:id",
      meta: {
        icon: <></>,
        parent: "accountsAndWallets",
        label: "Bank Accounts",
        resourceRoute: "test/bankAccounts",
      },
    },
  ]}
/>

Accessing the Metadata in the Data Provider You can access the meta property in your data provider methods. Here is an example of how you might do this:

const myDataProvider = {
  // Other data provider methods...

  custom: async ({ url, method, sort, filters, payload, query, headers, meta }) => {
    const resourceRoute = meta?.resourceRoute;

    console.log(resourceRoute); // "test/bankAccounts"

    // Your custom logic here...
  },
};

const myDataProvider = {
  // Other data provider methods...

  custom: async ({ url, method, sort, filters, payload, query, headers, meta }) => {
    const resourceRoute = meta?.resourceRoute;

    console.log(resourceRoute); // "test/bankAccounts"

    // Your custom logic here...
  },
};

In this example, the resourceRoute value defined in the meta property of the resource is accessed within the custom method of the data provider. For more information on how to use the meta property, you can refer to the meta section of the General Concepts documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/general-concepts/#meta-concept) and the useCustomMutation hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom-mutation/#meta). By using the meta property, you can pass any additional information you need to the data provider, making it a flexible solution for customizing your data handling logic. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
