Hi @jakshire01. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To slice or customize the menu items in the sider when using Refine with Ant Design, you have a few options: 1. Use the meta.hide property: You can hide specific resources from appearing in the sider menu by setting meta.hide: true in the resource definition. This allows you to selectively show only the menu items you want.

   <Refine
     resources={[
       {
         name: "posts",
         list: "/posts",
         meta: {
           label: "Posts",
           icon: "📝",
         },
       },
       {
         name: "users",
         list: "/users",
         meta: {
           hide: true, // This resource will be hidden from the menu
         },
       },
     ]}
   />

   <Refine
     resources={[
       {
         name: "posts",
         list: "/posts",
         meta: {
           label: "Posts",
           icon: "📝",
         },
       },
       {
         name: "users",
         list: "/users",
         meta: {
           hide: true, // This resource will be hidden from the menu
         },
       },
     ]}
   />

How to hide items from the Sider component? (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/faq/#how-to-hide-items-from-the-sider-component) 2. Use the render prop of the <Sider> component: You can customize the rendering of the sider menu items using the render prop. This gives you full control over which items to display and how to display them.

   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";

   const CustomSider = () => {
     return (
       <Sider
         render={({ items, logout }) => {
           return (
             <>
               {/* Render only specific items */}
               {items.slice(0, 3)} {/* This will render only the first 3 items */}
               {logout}
             </>
           );
         }}
       />
     );
   };

   const CustomLayout = () => {
     return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;
   };

   import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";

   const CustomSider = () => {
     return (
       <Sider
         render={({ items, logout }) => {
           return (
             <>
               {/* Render only specific items */}
               {items.slice(0, 3)} {/* This will render only the first 3 items */}
               {logout}
             </>
           );
         }}
       />
     );
   };

   const CustomLayout = () => {
     return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;
   };

How can I add an item to the Sider component? (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/faq/#how-can-i-add-an-item-to-the-sider-component) 3. Use the swizzle command: If you need more advanced customization, you can use the swizzle command to copy the default Sider component to your project and modify it as needed. This gives you full control over the sider implementation. Customizing with swizzle (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/themed-layout/#customizing-with-swizzle) Remember that when customizing the sider, you can use the useMenu hook from @refinedev/core to get the menu items and other useful data for rendering your custom sider. useMenu hook documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/hooks/utilities/use-menu/#creating-a-menu) These methods should allow you to effectively slice or customize the menu items in your Refine Ant Design sider component. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai i also want to group them how can i do it

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To group menu items in the sider when using Refine with Ant Design, you can use the multi-level menu feature. This allows you to create groups and sub-menus to organize your menu items. Here's how you can do it: 1. Use the meta.parent property in your resource definitions:

<Refine
  resources={[
    {
      name: "CMS",
    },
    {
      name: "posts",
      list: "/posts",
      meta: { parent: "CMS" },
    },
    {
      name: "category",
      list: "/categories",
      meta: { parent: "CMS" },
    },
  ]}
/>

<Refine
  resources={[
    {
      name: "CMS",
    },
    {
      name: "posts",
      list: "/posts",
      meta: { parent: "CMS" },
    },
    {
      name: "category",
      list: "/categories",
      meta: { parent: "CMS" },
    },
  ]}
/>

In this example, "posts" and "category" will be grouped under "CMS" in the sider menu. Multi Level Menu (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/multi-level-menu/) 2. If you want more control over the grouping, you can use the render prop of the <Sider> component along with the useMenu hook:

import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Menu } from "antd";

const { SubMenu } = Menu;

const CustomSider = () => {
  const { menuItems, selectedKey, defaultOpenKeys } = useMenu();

  const renderTreeView = (tree, selectedKey) => {
    return tree.map((item) => {
      if (item.children.length > 0) {
        return (
          <SubMenu key={item.key} icon={item.icon} title={item.label}>
            {renderTreeView(item.children, selectedKey)}
          </SubMenu>
        );
      }
      return (
        <Menu.Item key={item.key} icon={item.icon}>
          {item.label}
        </Menu.Item>
      );
    });
  };

  return (
    <Sider>
      <Menu
        defaultOpenKeys={defaultOpenKeys}
        selectedKeys={[selectedKey]}
        mode="inline"
      >
        {renderTreeView(menuItems, selectedKey)}
      </Menu>
    </Sider>
  );
};

const CustomLayout = () => {
  return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;
};

import { useMenu } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Layout, Sider } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Menu } from "antd";

const { SubMenu } = Menu;

const CustomSider = () => {
  const { menuItems, selectedKey, defaultOpenKeys } = useMenu();

  const renderTreeView = (tree, selectedKey) => {
    return tree.map((item) => {
      if (item.children.length > 0) {
        return (
          <SubMenu key={item.key} icon={item.icon} title={item.label}>
            {renderTreeView(item.children, selectedKey)}
          </SubMenu>
        );
      }
      return (
        <Menu.Item key={item.key} icon={item.icon}>
          {item.label}
        </Menu.Item>
      );
    });
  };

  return (
    <Sider>
      <Menu
        defaultOpenKeys={defaultOpenKeys}
        selectedKeys={[selectedKey]}
        mode="inline"
      >
        {renderTreeView(menuItems, selectedKey)}
      </Menu>
    </Sider>
  );
};

const CustomLayout = () => {
  return <Layout Sider={CustomSider}>...</Layout>;
};

This approach gives you full control over how the menu items are rendered and grouped. Custom Sider Menu (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/multi-level-menu/#headless) Remember, when using the meta.parent approach, the parent name you specify must exactly match the resource name you want to group under. By implementing either of these methods, you can effectively group your menu items in the Refine Ant Design sider component. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai iam using this code to render i want logout to come down of the sider and other items at top

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the code you're using to render the sider, I can help you modify it to place the logout button at the bottom of the sider while keeping other items at the top. Here's how you can achieve this using the render prop of the <ThemedSiderV2 /> component:

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Menu, Button } from "antd";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
    // ...
    >
      <ThemedLayoutV2
        Sider={() => (
          <ThemedSiderV2
            render={({ items, logout }) => {
              return (
                <Menu
                  style={{
                    display: 'flex',
                    flexDirection: 'column',
                    height: '100%',
                  }}
                >
                  {items}
                  <Menu.Item
                    style={{
                      marginTop: 'auto',
                    }}
                  >
                    {logout}
                  </Menu.Item>
                </Menu>
              );
            }}
          />
        )}
      >
        <Outlet />
      </ThemedLayoutV2>
    </Refine>
  );
};

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Menu, Button } from "antd";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
    // ...
    >
      <ThemedLayoutV2
        Sider={() => (
          <ThemedSiderV2
            render={({ items, logout }) => {
              return (
                <Menu
                  style={{
                    display: 'flex',
                    flexDirection: 'column',
                    height: '100%',
                  }}
                >
                  {items}
                  <Menu.Item
                    style={{
                      marginTop: 'auto',
                    }}
                  >
                    {logout}
                  </Menu.Item>
                </Menu>
              );
            }}
          />
        )}
      >
        <Outlet />
      </ThemedLayoutV2>
    </Refine>
  );
};

In this modified code: 1. We use the render prop of <ThemedSiderV2 /> to customize the sider content ThemedSiderV2 render prop (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/themed-layout/#sider). 2. We create a <Menu> component with a flex layout that fills the entire height of the sider. 3. We render the items (which are the regular menu items) at the top. 4. We place the logout item in a separate <Menu.Item> at the bottom using marginTop: 'auto'. This approach will keep your regular menu items at the top of the sider and push the logout button to the bottom. If you need further customization, you can also use the collapsed parameter provided by the render function to adjust the layout based on whether the sider is collapsed or not:

render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {
  // Use the collapsed parameter to adjust layout if needed
}}

render={({ items, logout, collapsed }) => {
  // Use the collapsed parameter to adjust layout if needed
}}

Remember that the exact styling might need some adjustments depending on your specific layout and design requirements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai when i group it like this in my App.tsx file resources={[ { name: "Invoicing", icon: <AuditOutlined />, }, { name: "Tera", }, { name: "accounts", list: "/accounts", create: "/accounts/new", edit: "/accounts/:id/edit", meta: { parent: "Invoicing", }, icon: <BankOutlined />, }, { name: "clients", list: "/clients", create: "/clients/new", edit: "/clients/:id/edit", meta: { parent: "Invoicing", }, icon: <TeamOutlined />, }, in the sider screen iam ghetting an s attached to it Invoicing is becoming Invoicings

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The issue you're experiencing with "Invoicing" becoming "Invoicings" in the sider menu is related to how Refine handles resource names and labels. By default, Refine pluralizes resource names for display purposes. However, there are ways to prevent this behavior: 1. Use the label property in the meta object: You can specify a custom label for your resource group to prevent pluralization:

resources={[
  {
    name: "Invoicing",
    icon: <AuditOutlined />,
    meta: {
      label: "Invoicing" // This will override the default pluralization
    }
  },
  // ... other resources
]}

resources={[
  {
    name: "Invoicing",
    icon: <AuditOutlined />,
    meta: {
      label: "Invoicing" // This will override the default pluralization
    }
  },
  // ... other resources
]}

Resource label documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/refine-component/#meta) 2. Use text transformers: You can customize the text transformation for all resources by providing custom text transformers to the <Refine> component:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { pluralize } from "inflection";

// ...

<Refine
  // ... other props
  options={{
    textTransformers: {
      plural: (text) => text === "Invoicing" ? text : pluralize(text),
      singular: (text) => text,
    }
  }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Refine>

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { pluralize } from "inflection";

// ...

<Refine
  // ... other props
  options={{
    textTransformers: {
      plural: (text) => text === "Invoicing" ? text : pluralize(text),
      singular: (text) => text,
    }
  }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Refine>

This approach allows you to customize the pluralization behavior for specific words while maintaining the default behavior for others. Text transformers documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/core/refine-component/#texttransformers) 3. Use i18n: If you're using internationalization, you can provide translations for your resource names, which will override the default pluralization:

// in your translation file (e.g., en.json)
{
  "resources": {
    "Invoicing": {
      "title": "Invoicing"
    }
  }
}

// in your translation file (e.g., en.json)
{
  "resources": {
    "Invoicing": {
      "title": "Invoicing"
    }
  }
}

i18n documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/i18n/) By implementing one of these methods, you should be able to prevent "Invoicing" from becoming "Invoicings" in your sider menu. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai my sider title is not inline with my header export const ThemedTitleV2: React.FC<RefineLayoutThemedTitleProps> = ({ collapsed, // icon = defaultIcon, // text = defaultText, wrapperStyles, }) => { const { token } = theme.useToken(); const routerType = useRouterType(); const Link = useLink(); const { Link: LegacyLink } = useRouterContext(); const ActiveLink = routerType === "legacy" ? LegacyLink : Link; return ( <ActiveLink to="/" style={{ display: "inline-block", textDecoration: "none", }} > <Space style={{ display: "flex", alignItems: "center", fontSize: "inherit", ...wrapperStyles, }} >

kapa.ai•2mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the code snippet you've provided, it seems you're using a custom ThemedTitleV2 component for your sider title. If the sider title is not inline with your header, there are a few things you can adjust to align them properly: 1. Adjust the padding or margin of the title component: You can add padding or margin to the Space component to align it with the header. For example:

<Space
  style={{
    display: "flex",
    alignItems: "center",
    fontSize: "inherit",
    padding: "16px 24px", // Adjust these values as needed
    ...wrapperStyles,
  }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Space>

<Space
  style={{
    display: "flex",
    alignItems: "center",
    fontSize: "inherit",
    padding: "16px 24px", // Adjust these values as needed
    ...wrapperStyles,
  }}
>
  {/* ... */}
</Space>

2. Use the Header prop of ThemedLayoutV2: If you're using ThemedLayoutV2, you can adjust the header's padding to match the sider title. Here's an example:

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedHeaderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

const CustomHeader = () => (
  <ThemedHeaderV2
    style={{
      padding: "0 24px", // Adjust to match sider title padding
    }}
  />
);

// In your layout component
<ThemedLayoutV2
  Header={CustomHeader}
  Title={({ collapsed }) => (
    <ThemedTitleV2
      collapsed={collapsed}
      wrapperStyles={{
        padding: "16px 24px", // Match this with the header padding
      }}
    />
  )}
>
  {/* ... */}
</ThemedLayoutV2>

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedHeaderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

const CustomHeader = () => (
  <ThemedHeaderV2
    style={{
      padding: "0 24px", // Adjust to match sider title padding
    }}
  />
);

// In your layout component
<ThemedLayoutV2
  Header={CustomHeader}
  Title={({ collapsed }) => (
    <ThemedTitleV2
      collapsed={collapsed}
      wrapperStyles={{
        padding: "16px 24px", // Match this with the header padding
      }}
    />
  )}
>
  {/* ... */}
</ThemedLayoutV2>

3. Adjust the Sider component: If the misalignment is due to the sider's padding, you can customize the Sider component:

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

const CustomSider = () => (
  <ThemedSiderV2
    style={{
      padding: "0", // Remove default padding
    }}
  />
);

// In your layout component
<ThemedLayoutV2
  Sider={CustomSider}
  // ...
>
  {/* ... */}
</ThemedLayoutV2>

import { ThemedLayoutV2, ThemedSiderV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";

const CustomSider = () => (
  <ThemedSiderV2
    style={{
      padding: "0", // Remove default padding
    }}
  />
);

// In your layout component
<ThemedLayoutV2
  Sider={CustomSider}
  // ...
>
  {/* ... */}
</ThemedLayoutV2>

ThemedLayoutV2 documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/ant-design/components/themed-layout/) Remember, the exact values for padding and margins may need to be adjusted based on your specific layout and design requirements. You might need to experiment with different values to achieve perfect alignment. If these suggestions don't solve your alignment issue, you might need to inspect your overall layout structure and styles to identify any conflicting CSS that could be causing the misalignment. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
