how to change labels for k-bar options

the k bar integration makes the options from the the resources, how do I change label for "List"

Hi @AK. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To change the labels for k-bar options, specifically the "List" label generated from resources, you can customize the useRefineKbar hook. However, the current implementation of RefineKbar has limited customization options. According to a GitHub issue discussion FEAT: Customization of RefineKbar, a user found a workaround by copying and modifying the useRefineKbar hook. Here's how they adjusted the section to achieve the desired effect:

let section = label;
if (resource.meta?.parent) {
  section = `${resource.meta?.parent} ${t(
    `${resource.name}.${resource.name}`,
    userFriendlyResourceName(resource.name, 'plural'),
  )}`;
}

let section = label;
if (resource.meta?.parent) {
  section = `${resource.meta?.parent} ${t(
    `${resource.name}.${resource.name}`,
    userFriendlyResourceName(resource.name, 'plural'),
  )}`;
}

This modification allows for some customization of the labels, including the "List" label. However, it's important to note that the RefineKbar package is currently outdated, and the Refine team has acknowledged this issue. They have added it to their backlog and plan to work on improving the customization options for RefineKbar in a future sprint. For now, you might need to implement a similar workaround by copying and modifying the useRefineKbar hook to change the labels according to your needs. Keep in mind that this is not an ideal solution, and you should look out for updates from the Refine team regarding improvements to RefineKbar customization.

and how do I enable dark mode in the kbar? @kapa.ai and how do I enable dark mode in the kbar? @kapa.ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To enable dark mode in the kbar for refine, you need to implement a theme switching mechanism for your entire application, as the kbar will inherit the theme from its parent components. Refine doesn't provide a built-in dark mode specifically for kbar, but you can achieve this by setting up a dark mode for your entire application. Here's how you can implement dark mode in your refine application, which will also affect the kbar: 1. First, wrap your application with a theme provider. Refine supports various UI frameworks, but let's use Material-UI as an example:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { RefineKbar, RefineKbarProvider } from "@refinedev/kbar";
import { ThemeProvider, CssBaseline } from "@mui/material";
import { createTheme } from "@mui/material/styles";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");

  const theme = createTheme({
    palette: {
      mode: mode,
    },
  });

  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <CssBaseline />
      <RefineKbarProvider>
        <Refine
        // ... other Refine configurations
        >
          {/* ... your app components */}
          <RefineKbar />
        </Refine>
      </RefineKbarProvider>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { RefineKbar, RefineKbarProvider } from "@refinedev/kbar";
import { ThemeProvider, CssBaseline } from "@mui/material";
import { createTheme } from "@mui/material/styles";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");

  const theme = createTheme({
    palette: {
      mode: mode,
    },
  });

  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <CssBaseline />
      <RefineKbarProvider>
        <Refine
        // ... other Refine configurations
        >
          {/* ... your app components */}
          <RefineKbar />
        </Refine>
      </RefineKbarProvider>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
};

2. Implement a toggle for switching between light and dark modes. You can add this to your header or any other suitable component:

import { IconButton } from "@mui/material";
import { Brightness4, Brightness7 } from "@mui/icons-material";

const Header = () => {
  const { mode, setMode } = useContext(ColorModeContext);

  return (
    <AppBar color="default" position="sticky">
      <IconButton onClick={() => setMode(mode === "light" ? "dark" : "light")}>
        {mode === "dark" ? <Brightness7 /> : <Brightness4 />}
      </IconButton>
    </AppBar>
  );
};

import { IconButton } from "@mui/material";
import { Brightness4, Brightness7 } from "@mui/icons-material";

const Header = () => {
  const { mode, setMode } = useContext(ColorModeContext);

  return (
    <AppBar color="default" position="sticky">
      <IconButton onClick={() => setMode(mode === "light" ? "dark" : "light")}>
        {mode === "dark" ? <Brightness7 /> : <Brightness4 />}
      </IconButton>
    </AppBar>
  );
};

3. Make sure to pass the Header component to your layout:

<ThemedLayoutV2 Header={Header}>
  <Outlet />
</ThemedLayoutV2>

<ThemedLayoutV2 Header={Header}>
  <Outlet />
</ThemedLayoutV2>

By implementing these steps, your entire application, including the kbar, will respect the chosen theme (light or dark). For more detailed information on theming in refine with Material-UI, you can refer to the Material-UI Theming documentation. Remember that the exact implementation might vary depending on the UI framework you're using with refine. The principle remains the same: set up a theme provider for your entire application, and the kbar will inherit the theme accordingly.

i am using the antd integariton of refine, I have the color mode switch implemented, @kapa.ai but the kbar inegration, not respecting it

kapa.ai•5w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand you're using the Ant Design integration of refine and have implemented a color mode switch, but the kbar integration is not respecting the color mode. Let's address this issue specifically for the Ant Design integration. In the case of Ant Design, the theming works slightly differently compared to Material-UI. The kbar should respect the theme if it's properly configured. Here's how you can ensure the kbar respects your color mode: 1. First, make sure you're using the ConfigProvider from Ant Design to set the theme for your entire application. This should be wrapping your <Refine> component. 2. The color mode context should be used to toggle between light and dark themes. Here's an example of how your App.tsx might look:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { RefineKbarProvider } from "@refinedev/kbar";
import { ConfigProvider, theme } from "antd";
import { useState } from "react";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");

  return (
    <ConfigProvider
      theme={{
        algorithm: mode === "light" ? theme.defaultAlgorithm : theme.darkAlgorithm,
      }}
    >
      <RefineKbarProvider>
        <Refine
          // ... other Refine configurations
        >
          {/* ... your app components */}
        </Refine>
      </RefineKbarProvider>
    </ConfigProvider>
  );
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { RefineKbarProvider } from "@refinedev/kbar";
import { ConfigProvider, theme } from "antd";
import { useState } from "react";

const App: React.FC = () => {
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<"light" | "dark">("light");

  return (
    <ConfigProvider
      theme={{
        algorithm: mode === "light" ? theme.defaultAlgorithm : theme.darkAlgorithm,
      }}
    >
      <RefineKbarProvider>
        <Refine
          // ... other Refine configurations
        >
          {/* ... your app components */}
        </Refine>
      </RefineKbarProvider>
    </ConfigProvider>
  );
};

If you've implemented it this way and the kbar is still not respecting the color mode, there might be an issue with the current version of the refine kbar integration. According to the Ant Design theming documentation for refine, the ConfigProvider should be sufficient to apply the theme to all components, including the kbar. If the issue persists, it could be a bug in the current version of refine's kbar integration with Ant Design. In this case, you might want to: 1. Check if you're using the latest version of @refinedev/kbar and @refinedev/antd. 2. If you are on the latest version and still facing the issue, consider reporting it as a bug on the refine GitHub repository. In the meantime, as a workaround, you might need to apply custom styles to the kbar components to match your chosen theme. However, this should not be necessary if everything is set up correctly. Ant Design Theming If you need further assistance, please provide more details about your specific implementation, including relevant code snippets and the versions of refine packages you're using. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
