How to customize the sidebar?

Am using Vite and material Ui with refine. I was following Javascript mastery tutorial of building an app. I want to customize the sidebar. Tried to read the documentation but couldn't find ThemedSider or layout in my latest refine project. Need help.

Hi @Harry. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To customize the sidebar in your refine project using Material UI, you can use the ThemedSiderV2 component provided by refine. Below are the steps and code examples to help you achieve this. Step-by-Step Guide 1. Import Required Components: Ensure you have the necessary imports from @refinedev/core and @refinedev/mui. 2. Create a Custom Sidebar Component: You can create a custom sidebar component and pass it to the Sider prop of ThemedLayoutV2. 3. Use the render and Title Props: Customize the default ThemedSiderV2 component using the render and Title props. Example Code Here is an example of how to customize the default ThemedSiderV2 component using the render and Title props:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomTitle } from "./CustomTitle";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <Refine  
      // ...  
    >  
      <ThemedLayoutV2  
        Sider={() => (  
          <ThemedSiderV2  
            Title={({ collapsed }) => <CustomTitle collapsed={collapsed} />}  
            render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {  
              return (  
                <>  
                  <div>My Custom Element</div>  
                  {items}  
                  {logout}  
                </>  
              );  
            }}  
          />  
        )}  
      >  
        {/* ... */}  
      </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
  );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomTitle } from "./CustomTitle";  

const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <Refine  
      // ...  
    >  
      <ThemedLayoutV2  
        Sider={() => (  
          <ThemedSiderV2  
            Title={({ collapsed }) => <CustomTitle collapsed={collapsed} />}  
            render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {  
              return (  
                <>  
                  <div>My Custom Element</div>  
                  {items}  
                  {logout}  
                </>  
              );  
            }}  
          />  
        )}  
      >  
        {/* ... */}  
      </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
  );  
};

Additional Customization If you want to replace the default ThemedSiderV2 component entirely, you can pass a custom component to the Sider prop:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomSider } from "./CustomSider";
const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <Refine  
      // ...  
    >  
      <ThemedLayoutV2  
        Sider={() => <CustomSider />}  
      >  
        {/* ... */}  
      </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
  );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { CustomSider } from "./CustomSider";
const App: React.FC = () => {  
  return (  
    <Refine  
      // ...  
    >  
      <ThemedLayoutV2  
        Sider={() => <CustomSider />}  
      >  
        {/* ... */}  
      </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
  );  
};
