Material UI ThemedLayoutV2 user
while using Material UI ThemedLayoutV2, how can I add user avatar and name at the corner of the page
32 Replies
Hi @koop_g. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To add a user avatar and name at the corner of the page while using Material UI ThemedLayoutV2 in refine, you can customize the Header component. The ThemedLayoutV2 already includes a default Header component that displays the user's name and avatar on the right side of the header using the
useGetIdentity
hook.
Here's how you can achieve this:
1. First, make sure you're using ThemedLayoutV2 from @refinedev/mui:
2. The default Header component already includes this functionality. If you want to customize it further, you can create a custom Header component:
3. Then, use this custom Header in your ThemedLayoutV2:
This setup will display the user's name and avatar at the top-right corner of the page. The useGetIdentity
hook is used to fetch the user's information, which is then displayed in the header.
For more details on customizing the ThemedLayoutV2 and its Header component, you can refer to the Material UI ThemedLayout documentation.

@kapa.ai if it is default, why wont I see the user at the corner ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You're right to question this, and I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify why you might not see the user information at the corner even though it's part of the default Header component.
The reason you might not see the user avatar and name at the corner could be due to a few factors:
1. Authentication: The default Header uses the
useGetIdentity
hook to fetch user information. If you haven't set up authentication or if the user isn't logged in, there won't be any user data to display.
2. Data Provider: The useGetIdentity
hook relies on your authentication provider to return the correct user data. If your auth provider isn't configured to return the necessary information (name and avatar), it won't be displayed.
3. Custom Header: If you've implemented a custom Header component without including the user information, it would override the default behavior.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following:
1. Ensure that you have properly set up authentication in your refine application.
2. Check that your auth provider is correctly configured to return user data, including name and avatar.
3. If you're using a custom Header, make sure you've included the user information display logic.
4. You can also try logging the result of useGetIdentity
to see what data is actually being returned.
Here's a simple way to check what data is being returned by useGetIdentity
:
If you're still having issues after checking these points, it might be helpful to review the Authentication documentation to ensure everything is set up correctly.
Remember, the default behavior should display the user information if it's available, but it requires proper setup of authentication and data provision to work as expected.

@kapa.ai
I am getting this error when trying your suggestion :
the error:
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I apologize for the confusion. The error you're encountering suggests that the React Query client is not properly set up in your application. This is a common issue when using hooks like
useGetIdentity
outside of the Refine context. Let's address this problem.
The error "No QueryClient set, use QueryClientProvider to set one" typically occurs when you're trying to use a React Query hook (which useGetIdentity
relies on) outside of a QueryClientProvider
.
To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your entire application is wrapped with the necessary providers. In Refine, this is usually handled by the <Refine>
component. Here's how you can set it up correctly:
1. First, make sure your App
component is set up properly with the <Refine>
component:
2. Now, you can use the useGetIdentity
hook in your Header component, which should be a child of the <Refine>
component:
3. Make sure your Header component is rendered within the ThemedLayoutV2:
By following these steps, you ensure that the useGetIdentity
hook is used within the correct context, and the QueryClient is properly set up.
If you're still encountering issues, it might be helpful to check the Refine documentation on setting up the app to ensure all necessary providers are in place.
Remember, the useGetIdentity
hook relies on your authentication setup. Make sure you have properly configured your authProvider
in the <Refine>
component if you want to retrieve actual user data.
If the problem persists, please provide more details about your app structure and where exactly you're using the useGetIdentity
hook, so I can offer more specific guidance.

@kapa.ai OK, it is working and I do get the console print
the question is, does the expected user data object is meeting the ones I am providing from my authprovided ?
return object:
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm glad to hear that the console print is working now. Let's address your question about whether the user data object you're receiving matches what you're providing from your
authProvider
.
The structure of the user data object returned by useGetIdentity
should indeed match what you're providing in your authProvider
's getIdentity
method. However, there might be a slight mismatch between what you're expecting and what Refine typically uses by default.
Let's compare your returned object with what Refine typically expects:
1. Your returned object:
2. Refine's typical expectation:
As you can see, there are some differences. To make your data work seamlessly with Refine's default components (like the header with user avatar), you might need to adjust your authProvider
's getIdentity
method to map your data to what Refine expects.
Here's how you can modify your authProvider
to match Refine's expectations:
By mapping your data this way, you ensure that Refine's components that use useGetIdentity
will work as expected.
If you want to use your data structure as-is, you'll need to customize any components that use the user data (like the header) to work with your specific data structure.
For more information on customizing the authProvider
and useGetIdentity
, you can refer to the Authentication documentation.
Remember, the key is to ensure consistency between what your authProvider
returns and what your components expect. If you're using custom components, make sure they're designed to work with your specific data structure.

@kapa.ai how can I make the username at the header to be clickable and to open some options window ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To make the username in the header clickable and open an options window, you can modify the Header component to include a dropdown menu. Here's how you can achieve this using Material UI components with refine:
1. First, import the necessary components from Material UI:
2. Then, modify your Header component to include a clickable username and a dropdown menu:
3. Use this custom Header in your ThemedLayoutV2:
This implementation will make the username clickable and open a dropdown menu with options when clicked. You can customize the menu items and their actions as needed.
For more details on customizing the ThemedLayoutV2 and its Header component, you can refer to the Material UI ThemedLayout documentation.
Remember to style and position the elements according to your specific layout requirements. You might need to adjust the Stack component's properties or add additional styling to achieve the exact look you want.

@kapa.ai
the top bar is missing, and the name is not displaying, the avatar is there an clickable with some option poping , but how can I bring back the top bar and the name ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I apologize for the confusion. It seems that the top bar and the name are missing from your layout. Let's address this issue and bring back the top bar and the name.
To restore the top bar and ensure the name is displayed, we need to modify the Header component. Here's an updated version that should bring back these elements:
This updated Header component should:
1. Bring back the top bar by using the
AppBar
and Toolbar
components from Material-UI.
2. Display the HamburgerMenu
on the left side of the header.
3. Show the user's name as text.
4. Make the avatar clickable to open the options menu.
Make sure you're using this Header component in your ThemedLayoutV2:
If you're still not seeing the name, double-check that your authProvider
's getIdentity
method is returning the user data correctly, including the name
field. You might need to adjust it as we discussed in the previous conversation:
This should restore the top bar, display the user's name, and keep the clickable avatar with options. If you're still experiencing issues, please provide more details about what you're seeing, and I'll be happy to help further.
For more information on customizing the ThemedLayoutV2 and its Header component, you can refer to the Material UI ThemedLayout documentation.

@kapa.ai how cn I navigate to when profile is clicked to profile page ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To navigate to a profile page when the "Profile" option is clicked in the menu, you can use the
useNavigation
hook provided by refine. Here's how you can modify your Header component to achieve this:
1. First, import the useNavigation
hook:
2. Then, modify your Header component to use the useNavigation
hook and handle the profile click:
In this updated code:
1. We import the useNavigation
hook from @refinedev/core
.
2. We destructure the push
function from useNavigation()
.
3. We create a new handleProfileClick
function that calls push("/profile")
to navigate to the profile page and then closes the menu.
4. We update the Profile MenuItem to use onClick={handleProfileClick}
.
Make sure you have a route set up for the profile page in your Refine resources or routes configuration. If you haven't created a profile page yet, you'll need to create one and add it to your routes.
For more information on navigation in refine, you can refer to the useNavigation documentation.
Remember to adjust the "/profile" path if your profile page is located at a different route.

@kapa.ai OK, it worked, but how I add a new page
this is not displaying my Profile component at "/account/profile"
Example of my main app code:
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm glad to hear that the navigation worked for you. Now, let's address the issue of adding a new page and displaying your Profile component at "/account/profile".
Based on the code you've provided, it seems that the route for the Profile component is nested under the authenticated routes. However, there might be a small issue with how the routes are structured. Let's modify your code to ensure the Profile component is displayed correctly:
In this modified version:
1. We've moved the
<CanAccess>
component as it's not necessary in this context unless you want to add specific access control to the Profile page.
2. We've simplified the route for the Profile component by making it a direct child of the authenticated route.
Also, make sure that your Profile component is correctly imported at the top of your file:
If you're using the resources
prop in your <Refine>
component, you might also need to add the profile page there:
This setup should correctly display your Profile component at "/account/profile" when navigating from the header menu.
If you're still having issues, it might be helpful to check:
1. That your Profile component is exported correctly from its file.
2. That there are no conflicting routes or redirects in your application.
3. That the path in your useNavigation().push()
call matches exactly with the route you've defined ("/account/profile").
For more information on routing in refine, you can refer to the React Router Integration documentation.
If you're still experiencing issues after these changes, please provide more details about what you're seeing (any error messages, unexpected behaviors, etc.), and I'll be happy to help further.

@kapa.ai what is <UserOutlined /> and were can import it ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The
<UserOutlined />
component is an icon from the Ant Design icon set. It's not actually part of the Material-UI library that we've been discussing in the context of refine. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response.
If you're using Material-UI with refine, you would typically use Material-UI icons instead. Here's how you can use a similar icon from Material-UI:
1. First, you need to install the Material-UI icons package if you haven't already:
or if you're using yarn:
2. Then, you can import the Person icon (which is similar to UserOutlined) like this:
3. You can use it in your code like this:
If you prefer to stick with Ant Design icons (which <UserOutlined />
is part of), you would need to install the Ant Design icons package:
And then import it like this:
However, mixing Ant Design icons with Material-UI components is generally not recommended for consistency in your UI.
For more information on using icons in Material-UI, you can refer to the Material-UI Icons documentation.
Remember to choose icons that are consistent with the UI library you're using in your refine project for the best user experience and design consistency.
