Sider
There are 2 ways that will allow you to customize your <Sider /> component if you need it.
You can access the logout, dashboard, items elements and collapsed state that we use in our default Sider component by using render properties. Customize it to your needs or you can create a custom <Sider /> component and use it either by passing it to <Refine /> or using a Custom Layout.
You can swizzle this component to customize it with the refine CLI
Customize Sider by Using render property
The Button component gives you an implemention ready component compatible with Sider menu items. If you want to add anything else to your Sider component, you can use the collapsed state to manage your component.
Recreating the Default Sider Menu
You can also customize your Sider component by creating the CustomSider component.
When you examine the code of the example below, you will see the same code that we used for the default sider component. You can create a customized CustomSider component for yourself by following this code:
You can also run the swizzle command to export the source code of the default sider component. Refer to refine CLI for more information.

We will override the default sider and show the custom menu we implemented in its place by passing a custom component to <Refine>s Sider prop:
useMenu hook is used to get style agnostic menu items. We render these items in the body of the sider. We create a recursive renderTreeView function to create menu items from the list of resources passed to <Refine>.
We get the Title component with the useTitle hook.
If you want to create a multi-level menu, you can take a look at this multi-level menu example and also here is the guide.
