Hi @japope. 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 create a sidebar without using resources in refine. Here are a couple of methods to achieve this:
Method 1: Using a Custom Sider Component
You can create a custom
Sider
component and use the render
prop to render any custom component. This method allows you to add internal or external links directly to the sidebar.
Method 2: Using a Dummy Resource
For internal links, you can create a dummy resource and add it to the resources
prop of the <Refine>
component. This will add a navigation link to the sidebar.
Additional Customization
If you need more customization, you can use the swizzle command to copy the default Sider
component to your project and modify it as needed. Refer to the swizzle documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/documentation/cli/#swizzle) for more information.

These methods should help you create a sidebar without relying on resources in refine.

How to disable query for dummy resource
@kapa.ai How to disable query for dummy resource
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To disable the query for a dummy resource in refine, you can use the
meta.hide
property to hide the resource from the menu while still making it accessible via the URL. This way, the resource won't trigger any queries unless explicitly accessed.
Here's how you can do it:

- Add an option to hide the resource in the menu (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/2388)
By setting meta.hide
to true
, you ensure that the dummy resource does not appear in the sidebar and does not trigger any queries unless directly accessed via its URL.
