Custom Sider
You can create a custom <Sider /> component and use it either by passing it to <Refine /> or using a Custom Layout.
Recreating the Default Sider Menu
We will show you how to use useMenu to create a custom sider menu that is identical to default sider menu.
First we define <CustomMenu>:
src/CustomMenu.tsx
import React, { useState } from "react";
import {
CanAccess,
ITreeMenu,
useTitle,
useMenu,
useTranslate,
useRouterContext,
useRefineContext,
} from "@pankod/refine-core";
import {
Box,
Drawer,
MuiList,
ListItemButton,
ListItemIcon,
ListItemText,
Collapse,
Tooltip,
Button,
Title as DefaultTitle,
} from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import {
Dashboard,
ListOutlined,
ExpandLess,
ExpandMore,
ChevronLeft,
ChevronRight,
} from "@mui/icons-material";
export const CustomMenu: React.FC = () => {
const [collapsed, setCollapsed] = useState(false);
const [opened, setOpened] = useState(false);
const drawerWidth = () => {
if (collapsed) return 64;
return 200;
};
const t = useTranslate();
const { Link } = useRouterContext();
const { hasDashboard } = useRefineContext();
const { menuItems, selectedKey, defaultOpenKeys } = useMenu();
const Title = useTitle();
const [open, setOpen] = useState<{ [k: string]: any }>({});
React.useEffect(() => {
setOpen((previousOpen) => {
const previousOpenKeys: string[] = Object.keys(previousOpen);
const uniqueKeys = new Set([
...previousOpenKeys,
...defaultOpenKeys,
]);
const uniqueKeysRecord = Object.fromEntries(
Array.from(uniqueKeys.values()).map((key) => [key, true]),
);
return uniqueKeysRecord;
});
}, [defaultOpenKeys]);
const RenderToTitle = Title ?? DefaultTitle;
const handleClick = (key: string) => {
setOpen({ ...open, [key]: !open[key] });
};
const renderTreeView = (tree: ITreeMenu[], selectedKey: string) => {
return tree.map((item: ITreeMenu) => {
const { icon, label, route, name, children, parentName } = item;
const isOpen = open[route || ""] || false;
const isSelected = route === selectedKey;
const isNested = !(parentName === undefined);
if (children.length > 0) {
return (
<div key={route}>
<Tooltip

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.
tip
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.
We can override the default sider and show the custom menu we implemented in its place by passing a custom component to <Refine>s Sider prop:
App.tsx
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";
import { PostList } from "pages/posts";
import { CustomMenu } from "./CustomMenu";
const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";
const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<Refine
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}
Sider={CustomMenu
resources={[{ name: "posts", list: PostList }]}
/>
);
};
export default App;
Adding Logout Button
The useLogout hook allows us to add a Logout button to our menu if we have an authentication provider. When the Logout button is clicked, the autProvider will be invoked and the user will be logged out. This is a convenient way to provide a Logout button for our users without having to implement the logic ourselves.
src/CustomMenu.tsx
// imports
...
export const CustomSider: React.FC = () => {
import {
...
useIsExistAuthentication,
useLogout,
...
} from "@pankod/refine-core";
const isExistAuthentication = useIsExistAuthentication();
const { mutate: logout } = useLogout();
...
const drawer = (
<MuiList disablePadding sx={{ mt: 1, color: "primary.contrastText" }}>
{hasDashboard ? (
<Tooltip
title={t("dashboard.title", "Dashboard")}
placement="right"
disableHoverListener={!collapsed}
arrow
>
<ListItemButton
component={Link}
to="/"
selected={selectedKey === "/"}
onClick={() => {
setOpened(false);
}}
sx={{
pl: 2,
py: 1,
"&.Mui-selected": {
"&:hover": {
backgroundColor: "transparent",
},
backgroundColor: "transparent",
},
justifyContent: "center",
}}
>
<ListItemIcon
sx={{
justifyContent: "center",
minWidth: 36,
color: "primary.contrastText",
}}
>
{<ListOutlined />}
</ListItemIcon>
<ListItemText
primary={t("dashboard.title", "Dashboard")}
primaryTypographyProps={{
noWrap: true,
fontSize: "14px",
fontWeight:
selectedKey === "/" ? "bold" : "normal",
}}
/>
</ListItemButton>
</Tooltip>
) : null}
{renderTreeView(menuItems, selectedKey)}
{isExistAuthentication && (
<Tooltip
title={t("buttons.logout", "Logout")}
placement="right"
disableHoverListener={!collapsed}
arrow
>
<ListItemButton
key="logout"
onClick={() => logout()}
sx={{ justifyContent: "center" }}
>
<ListItemIcon
sx={{
justifyContent: "center",
minWidth: 36,
color: "primary.contrastText",
}}
>
<Logout />
</ListItemIcon>
<ListItemText
primary={t("buttons.logout", "Logout")}
primaryTypographyProps={{
noWrap: true,
fontSize: "14px",
}}
/>
</ListItemButton>
</Tooltip>
)}
</MuiList>
);
...
};
Mobile View of Sider
By adding another drawer that opens on mobile, we can make the user experience even better!
src/CustomMenu.tsx
// imports
...
export const CustomSider: React.FC = () => {
...
return (
<>
<Box
sx={{
width: { xs: drawerWidth() },
display: {
xs: "none",
md: "block",
},
transition: "width 0.3s ease",
}}
/>
<Box
component="nav"
sx={{
position: "fixed",
zIndex: 1101,
width: { sm: drawerWidth() },
display: "flex",
}}
>
<Drawer
variant="temporary"
open={opened}
onClose={() => setOpened(false)}
ModalProps={{
keepMounted: true, // Better open performance on mobile.
}}
sx={{
display: { sm: "block", md: "none" },
"& .MuiDrawer-paper": {
width: 256,
bgcolor: "secondary.main",
},
}}
>
<Box
sx={{
height: 64,
display: "flex",
alignItems: "center",
justifyContent: "center",
}}
>
<RenderToTitle collapsed={false} />
</Box>
{drawer}
</Drawer>
<Drawer
variant="permanent"
PaperProps={{ elevation: 1 }}
sx={{
display: { xs: "none", md: "block" },
"& .MuiDrawer-paper": {
width: drawerWidth,
bgcolor: "secondary.main",
overflow: "hidden",
transition:
"width 200ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1) 0ms",
},
}}
open

<Box
sx={{

<RenderToTitle collapsed={collapsed} />
</Box>
<Box
sx={{

overflowX: "hidden",
overflowY: "auto",
}}

{drawer}
</Box>
<Button
sx={{
background: "rgba(0,0,0,.5)",
color: "primary.contrastText",
textAlign: "center",
borderRadius: 0,
borderTop: "1px solid #ffffff1a",
}}
fullWidth
size="large"
onClick={() => setCollapsed((prev) => !prev)}
>
{collapsed ? <ChevronRight /> : <ChevronLeft />}
</Button>
</Drawer>
<Box

position: "fixed",

<IconButton

<MenuRounded />
</IconButton>
</Box>
</Box>
</>
);
};
useLogout provides the logout functionality.
