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:
----------------------
To define your resources in separate files in a Refine application, you can follow these steps:
1. Create Resource Components: First, create separate files for each of your resource components (e.g., list, create, edit, show) in a structured directory. For example, if you have a
products
resource, you can create a directory src/pages/products/
and place your components there.
2. Export Components: Use index.ts
files to export your components from the directories. This makes it easier to import them in your main application file.
3. Import and Define Resources in App.tsx: Import the resource components into your App.tsx
file and define the resources in the resources
array of the <Refine />
component.
Here is an example based on the knowledge sources:
Step 1: Create Resource Components
Create the following files in src/pages/products/
:
- ProductList.tsx
- ProductCreate.tsx
- ProductEdit.tsx
- ProductShow.tsx
Step 2: Export Components
Create an index.ts
file in src/pages/products/
to export all components:
Step 3: Import and Define Resources in App.tsx
Import the components and define the resources in App.tsx
:
This approach keeps your resource definitions modular and organized, making your codebase easier to maintain.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the Refine documentation on resource concepts (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/general-concepts/#resource-concept) and adding resources (https://refine.dev/blog/refine-pixels-3/#adding-resources-to-refine-).

@kapa.ai no i mean the full resource array how can i put this in a seperate file
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To define the full resource array in a separate file, you can follow these steps:
1. Create a Separate File for Resources: Create a new file, for example,
resources.ts
, where you will define and export your resources array.
2. Import the Resources in App.tsx: Import the resources array from the resources.ts
file into your App.tsx
file and use it in the <Refine />
component.
Here is an example based on the knowledge sources:
Step 1: Create a Separate File for Resources
Create a file named resources.ts
in your src
directory:
Step 2: Import the Resources in App.tsx
Import the resources
array from resources.ts
into your App.tsx
file and use it in the <Refine />
component:
This approach keeps your resource definitions modular and organized, making your codebase easier to maintain. You can now manage all your resources in the resources.ts
file and keep your App.tsx
file clean and focused on the application setup.

@kapa.ai but it compaines about the icons
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
If your application is complaining about the icons when you move the resources to a separate file, it might be due to the way the icons are being imported and used. Ensure that all necessary icon imports are correctly handled in the
resources.ts
file.
Here is a step-by-step guide to ensure that icons are correctly imported and used:
Step 1: Create a Separate File for Resources
Create a file named resources.ts
in your src
directory:
Step 2: Import the Resources in App.tsx
Import the resources
array from resources.ts
into your App.tsx
file and use it in the <Refine />
component:
Additional Notes
- Ensure that the icons are correctly imported from the @heroicons/react
package or any other icon library you are using.
- Make sure that the components and icons are correctly exported and imported in their respective files.
By following these steps, you should be able to define your resources in a separate file without any issues related to icons. If you still encounter problems, double-check the import paths and ensure that all dependencies are correctly installed.

@kapa.ai i get export const adminResources = [
{
name: "dashboard",
list: "/",
meta: {
label: "Dashboard",
icon: <DashboardOutlined fontSize="medium" />,
},
},
this warning 'DashboardOutlined' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof DashboardOutlined'?ts(2749)
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To resolve the warning
'DashboardOutlined' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof DashboardOutlined'?
, you need to ensure that the icon is correctly imported and used as a JSX element. This warning typically occurs when TypeScript is confused about whether DashboardOutlined
is being used as a type or a value.
Here’s how you can fix it:
1. Import the Icon Correctly: Ensure that you are importing the icon from the correct package.
2. Use the Icon as a JSX Element: When defining the icon in the meta
object, make sure it is used as a JSX element.
Here is the corrected code:
Step 1: Create a Separate File for Resources
Create a file named resources.ts
in your src
directory:
Step 2: Import the Resources in App.tsx
Import the adminResources
array from resources.ts
into your App.tsx
file and use it in the <Refine />
component:
By following these steps, you should be able to define your resources in a separate file without encountering the TypeScript warning. The key is to ensure that the icon is used as a JSX element within the meta
object.
