Complex admins with many resources need to organize their pages in a tree structure, and provide navigation widgets to help their users find their way in that structure. ra-navigation offers specialized React components to implement a breadcrumb, menu hierarchies, and sliding menu panels, together with hooks to handle the user location.

Test it live in the Enterprise Edition Storybook and the e-commerce demo.

Installation

npm install --save @react-admin/ra-navigation
# or
yarn add @react-admin/ra-navigation

Tip: ra-navigation is part of the React-Admin Enterprise Edition, and hosted in a private npm registry. You need to subscribe to one of the Enterprise Edition plans to access this package.

Concepts

ra-navigation introduces the concept of application location (AppLocation) which is distinct from the browser location. This distinction is important as it allows displaying a navigation UI independent of the routes (e.g. having multiple resources under the same section, like "Catalog / Products" and "Catalog / Categories", or having sub-resources, like "Customers / John Doe / Orders / R34T").

Each page in a react-admin application can define its app location as a string via a custom hook. ra-navigation stores this string in a React context. UI components use that context to display navigation information and controls (menu, breadcrumb, or your custom components) in a consistent way. Pages can also provide data related to the location, such as the current record for example.

By default, standard react-admin views such as List, Edit, Create, and Show define their app location as follows:

  • List: [resource].list
  • Create: [resource].create
  • Edit: [resource].edit. It will also provide the current record
  • Show: [resource].show. It will also provide the current record

Developers can customize these defaults. For instance, a Categories List page can define its location as 'catalog.categories.list' (instead of the default 'categories.list'), i.e. as a child of the Catalog location in the app tree structure. That way, when users visit the Categories List Page, they see a <Breadcrumb> looking like the following:

Dashboard > Catalog > Categories

And they should see a <MultiLevelMenu> looking like the following:

> Dashboard
> Catalog
   > Categories
   > Products

Usage

Setting Up The <AppLocationContext>

To expose the app location to all react-admin components, wrap the <Layout> component inside an <AppLocationContext>:

import { AppLocationContext } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Admin, Resource, Layout } from 'react-admin';

const MyLayout = props => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);
import { AppLocationContext } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Admin, Resource, Layout } from "react-admin";

const MyLayout = (props) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);

You can now either leverage the provided components such as the <Breadcrumb> or <MultiLevelMenu>, or build your own.

Adding a Breadcrumb Path to Every Page

A breadcrumb

The <Breadcrumb> component renders a breadcrumb path. It must be a descendent of <AppLocationContext>, as it reads the app location from it.

To add a breadcrumb path to every page, add a <Breadcrumb> component in the layout:

import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import {
    Admin,
    Resource,
    Layout,
    ListGuesser,
    EditGuesser,
    ShowGuesser,
} from 'react-admin';

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <Breadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource
            name="posts"
            list={ListGuesser}
            edit={EditGuesser}
            show={ShowGuesser}
        />
        <Resource
            name="comments"
            list={ListGuesser}
            edit={EditGuesser}
            show={ShowGuesser}
        />
        <Resource
            name="users"
            list={ListGuesser}
            edit={EditGuesser}
            show={ShowGuesser}
        />
    </Admin>
);
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Admin, Resource, Layout, ListGuesser, EditGuesser, ShowGuesser } from "react-admin";

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <Breadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={ListGuesser} edit={EditGuesser} show={ShowGuesser} />
        <Resource name="comments" list={ListGuesser} edit={EditGuesser} show={ShowGuesser} />
        <Resource name="users" list={ListGuesser} edit={EditGuesser} show={ShowGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

If you don't provide children to <Breadcrumb />, it will create a <Breadcrumb.Item> for each route of each resource declared under your <Admin />. It's basically the same as providing <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems> as children.

Hence, in the previous example, the <Breadcrumb> component will automatically add breadcrumb items for posts, comments, and users resources. It will for instance display:

  • "Posts" on Post List
  • "Comments" on Comment List
  • "Posts / #1" on Post Show with id = 1
  • "Posts / #1" on Post Edit with id = 1
  • "Posts / Create" on Post Create

Tip: If you have set a recordRepresentation on the resources, it will be used to display the breadcrumb path automatically.

You can also choose to customize the breadcrumb path for all (or only specific) pages of your app.

It's the responsibility of its children (<Breadcrumb.Item> elements) to render the breadcrumb path according to the app location, a bit like <Route> components render their children when they match the current browser location.

For instance, here is a custom breadcrumb component capable of rendering the breadcrumb path for two different resources, with custom labels:

import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="posts" label="Posts" to="/posts">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }) => `Edit #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/posts/${record.id}`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="show"
                label={({ record }) => `Show #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/posts/${record.id}/show`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="create" label="Create" to="/posts/create" />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="comments" label="Comments" to="/comments">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }) => `Edit #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/comments/${record.id}`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="show"
                label={({ record }) => `Show #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/comments/${record.id}/show`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="create"
                label="Create"
                to="/comments/create"
            />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="posts" label="Posts" to="/posts">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }) => `Edit #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/posts/${record.id}`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="show"
                label={({ record }) => `Show #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/posts/${record.id}/show`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="create" label="Create" to="/posts/create" />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="comments" label="Comments" to="/comments">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }) => `Edit #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/comments/${record.id}`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="show"
                label={({ record }) => `Show #${record.id}`}
                to={({ record }) => `/comments/${record.id}/show`}
            />
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="create" label="Create" to="/comments/create" />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

It will display respectively:

  • "Posts" on Post List
  • "Posts / Show #1" on Post Show with id = 1
  • "Posts / Edit #1" on Post Edit with id = 1
  • "Posts / Create" on Post Create

Tip: The ra-enterprise package exports an alternative <Layout>, which contains a pre-configured <Breadcrumb> that renders breadcrumb paths for all resources.

Setting the Dashboard Page as the Root Item

If the app has a home page, you can automatically set the root of the Breadcrumb to this page in three possible ways:

  1. By passing the hasDashboard prop to the <AppLocationContext>
const MyLayout = props => (
    <AppLocationContext hasDashboard>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);
const MyLayout = (props) => (
    <AppLocationContext hasDashboard>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);
  1. By passing the dashboard prop to the <Breadcrumb> component:
const MyBreadcrumb = () => <Breadcrumb dashboard={dashboard} />;
const MyBreadcrumb = () => <Breadcrumb dashboard={dashboard} />;
  1. By passing a hasDashboard prop to the <Breadcrumb> component:
const MyBreadcrumb = () => <Breadcrumb hasDashboard />;
const MyBreadcrumb = () => <Breadcrumb hasDashboard />;

By doing this, the breadcrumb will now show respectively:

  • "Dashboard / Posts" on Post List
  • "Dashboard / Posts / #1" on Post Show with id = 1
  • "Dashboard / Posts / #1" on Post Edit with id = 1
  • "Dashboard / Posts / Create" on Post Create

Adding Custom Breadcrumb Items

It's also possible to define a breadcrumb path manually, by adding <Breadcrumb.Item> children to <Breadcrumb>. This allows custom routes to have their own breadcrumb path, too.

import React from 'react';
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Admin, Resource, Layout, List } from 'react-admin';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';

const UserPreferences = () => {
    useDefineAppLocation('myhome.user.preferences');
    return <span>My Preferences</span>;
};

const routes = [
    <Route exact path="/user/preferences" component={UserPreferences} />,
];

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems />
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="myhome" label="Home">
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="user" label="User">
                <Breadcrumb.Item name="preferences" label="Preferences" />
                {/* // It also supports translation keys */}
                <Breadcrumb.Item
                    name="preferences"
                    label="myapp.breadcrumb.preferences"
                />
            </Breadcrumb.Item>
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext hasDashboard={!!props.dashboard}>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} customRoutes={routes} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);
import React from "react";
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Admin, Resource, Layout } from "react-admin";
import { Route } from "react-router-dom";

const UserPreferences = () => {
    useDefineAppLocation("myhome.user.preferences");
    return <span>My Preferences</span>;
};

const routes = [<Route exact path="/user/preferences" component={UserPreferences} />];

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems />
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="myhome" label="Home">
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="user" label="User">
                <Breadcrumb.Item name="preferences" label="Preferences" />
                {/* // It also supports translation keys */}
                <Breadcrumb.Item name="preferences" label="myapp.breadcrumb.preferences" />
            </Breadcrumb.Item>
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext hasDashboard={!!props.dashboard}>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} customRoutes={routes} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);

The displayed path on the custom page rendered at "/user/preferences" will be "Home / User / Preferences".

Tip:: We used myhome in this example and not home because it is a reserved word used for the Dashboard page when it exists.

Overriding the Resource Breadcrumb Items

In some cases, it's useful to override the default resource breadcrumb path, e.g. to add a custom label instead of "Show #1", "Edit #1", ...

This can be done by disabling the concerned resources in the <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems resources> prop, and declaring them manually.

import React from 'react';
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Admin, Resource, Layout, useCreatePath, List } from 'react-admin';

const MyBreadcrumb = ({ children, ...props }) => {
    const createPath = useCreatePath();

    return (
        <Breadcrumb>
            {/* no Breadcrumb.ResourceItem for the 'posts' resource */}
            <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems resources={['comments', 'tags']} />
            {/* we define it manually */}
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="posts" label="Posts">
                <Breadcrumb.Item
                    name="edit"
                    label={({ record }) => `Edit "${record.title}"`}
                    to={({ record }) =>
                        record &&
                        createPath({
                            type: 'edit',
                            resource: 'posts',
                            id: record.id,
                        })
                    }
                />
                <Breadcrumb.Item
                    name="show"
                    label={({ record }) => record.title}
                    to={({ record }) =>
                        record &&
                        createPath({
                            type: 'show',
                            resource: 'posts',
                            id: record.id,
                        })
                    }
                />
                <Breadcrumb.Item
                    name="create"
                    label="Create"
                    to={createPath({
                        resource: 'posts',
                        type: 'create',
                    })}
                />
            </Breadcrumb.Item>
        </Breadcrumb>
    );
};

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (

    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
        <Resource name="comments" list={CommentList} />
        <Resource name="tags" list={TagList} />
    </Admin>
);

Grouping Menus Into Submenus

MultiLevelMenu

When a React-admin application grows significantly, the default menu might not be the best solution. The <MultiLevelMenu> can help unclutter the navigation: it renders a menu with an infinite number of levels and sub-menus. Menu Items that are not at the top level are rendered inside a collapsible panel.

The <MultiLevelMenu> accepts <MultiLevelMenu.Item> components as its children. They are very similar to the default <MenuItemLink> from react-admin, except that they accept other <MultiLevelMenu.Item> as their children. To use it, the layout of the app must be inside a <AppLocationContext>.

The <MultiLevelMenu.Item> component accepts a name, a label, and an optional icon prop.

import { Admin, Layout, Resource } from 'react-admin';
import { AppLocationContext, MultiLevelMenu } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Dashboard } from './Dashboard';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';
import { SongList } from './songs';
import { ArtistList } from './artists';

const MyMenu = () => (
    <MultiLevelMenu>
        <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="dashboard" to="/" exact label="Dashboard" />
        <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="songs" to="/songs" label="Songs" />

Using a Mega Menu

Sometimes, even menus with sub-menus are not enough to organize the navigation. ra-navigation offers an alternative UI for that case: a vertical bar with small items, where the menu label renders underneath the icon. Clicking on any of those items opens a panel containing as many navigation links as you like, laid out as you wish.

To create a menu with that UI, use the <IconMenu> component. As children, use <IconMenu.Item> elements to define the icon, label, and target of the element. To define the content of the panel, add children to the <IconMenu.Item> element.

        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);

In order to adjust the size of the React-Admin <Sidebar> component according to the categories, you should either apply the theme provided by the @react-admin/ra-navigation package (as above), or merge it in your own custom theme.

import merge from 'lodash/merge';
import { defaultTheme } from 'react-admin';
import { ThemeOptions } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const theme: ThemeOptions = merge({}, defaultTheme, {
    sidebar: {
        width: 96,
        closedWidth: 48,
    },
    overrides: {
        RaSidebar: {
            fixed: {
                zIndex: 1200,
            },
        },
    },
});
import merge from "lodash/merge";
import { defaultTheme } from "react-admin";

export const theme = merge({}, defaultTheme, {
    sidebar: {
        width: 96,
        closedWidth: 48,
    },
    overrides: {
        RaSidebar: {
            fixed: {
                zIndex: 1200,
            },
        },
    },
});

Tip: With <IconMenu />, labels may disappear when the sidebar is in reduced mode. This is because of the internal workings of react-admin. That's why we recommend implementing your own <AppBar />, and hiding the Hamburger Button. <IconMenu /> is thin enough not to interfere with the navigation anyway.

<AppLocationContext>

To define or retrieve the current App Location, your React components must be located inside an <AppLocationContext>. This component creates a React context dedicated to the App Location. It must be contained in the <Admin> component (in order to read the registered resources), but it must also wrap up all the UI components (that may require access to the app location). So the best place to put it is as a wrapper to the Layout.

import { AppLocationContext } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Admin, Resource, Layout } from 'react-admin';

const MyLayout = props => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);
import { AppLocationContext } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Admin, Resource, Layout } from "react-admin";

const MyLayout = (props) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...props} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);

useDefineAppLocation

Use useDefineAppLocation to set the app location from a page component.

In the following example, the <SongEditForArtist> component is a nested resource rendering at the /artists/:id/songs/:songId path. It uses useDefineAppLocation to define the app location as artists.edit.songs.edit, and passes the record and song objects as parameters to let the breadcrumb component render the record and song names.

import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Edit, SimpleForm, TextInput, DateInput, useGetOne } from 'react-admin';
import { useDefineAppLocation } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const SongEditForArtist = () => {
    const { id, songId } = useParams<{ id: string; songId: string }>();
    const { data: record } = useGetOne('artists', { id });
    const { data: song } = useGetOne('songs', { id: songId });
    useDefineAppLocation('artists.edit.songs.edit', { record, song });
    return (
        <Edit resource="songs" id={songId} redirect={`/artists/${id}/songs`}>
            <SimpleForm>
                <TextInput source="title" />
                <DateInput source="released" />
                <TextInput source="writer" />
                <TextInput source="producer" />
                <TextInput source="recordCompany" label="Label" />
            </SimpleForm>
        </Edit>
    );
};
import { useParams } from "react-router-dom";
import { Edit, SimpleForm, TextInput, DateInput, useGetOne } from "react-admin";
import { useDefineAppLocation } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const SongEditForArtist = () => {
    const { id, songId } = useParams();
    const { data: record } = useGetOne("artists", { id });
    const { data: song } = useGetOne("songs", { id: songId });
    useDefineAppLocation("artists.edit.songs.edit", { record, song });
    return (
        <Edit resource="songs" id={songId} redirect={`/artists/${id}/songs`}>
            <SimpleForm>
                <TextInput source="title" />
                <DateInput source="released" />
                <TextInput source="writer" />
                <TextInput source="producer" />
                <TextInput source="recordCompany" label="Label" />
            </SimpleForm>
        </Edit>
    );
};

Tip: The <Edit> component will call dataProvider.getOne("songs", { id: songId }) to fetch the song record. Since the <SongEditForArtist> component makes the same request, React-admin will deduplicate the calls and only make one request to the dataProvider.

Tip: If you don't call useDefineAppLocation anywhere on a page, the AppLocationContext will deduce a resource app location from the current URL path (e.g. artists.edit for the /artists/:id path).

Here is how a custom Breadcrumb would use location values to render the record and song names:

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="artists" label="Artists" to="/artists">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }: { record?: Artist }) => record?.name}
                to={({ record }: { record?: Artist }) =>
                    `/artists/${record?.id}`
                }
            >
                <Breadcrumb.Item
                    name="songs"
                    label="Songs"
                    to={({ record }: { record?: Artist }) =>
                        `/artists/${record?.id}/songs`
                    }
                >
                    <Breadcrumb.Item
                        name="edit"
                        label={({ song }: { song?: Song }) => song?.title}
                        to={({ song }: { song?: Song }) =>
                            `/artists/${song?.artist_id}/songs/${song?.id}`
                        }
                    />
                </Breadcrumb.Item>
            </Breadcrumb.Item>
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="create"
                label="Create"
                to="/artists/create"
            />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);
const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.Item name="artists" label="Artists" to="/artists">
            <Breadcrumb.Item
                name="edit"
                label={({ record }) => record?.name}
                to={({ record }) => `/artists/${record?.id}`}
            >
                <Breadcrumb.Item name="songs" label="Songs" to={({ record }) => `/artists/${record?.id}/songs`}>
                    <Breadcrumb.Item
                        name="edit"
                        label={({ song }) => song?.title}
                        to={({ song }) => `/artists/${song?.artist_id}/songs/${song?.id}`}
                    />
                </Breadcrumb.Item>
            </Breadcrumb.Item>
            <Breadcrumb.Item name="create" label="Create" to="/artists/create" />
        </Breadcrumb.Item>
    </Breadcrumb>
);

useAppLocationState

The useAppLocationState hook lets you read and write the current App Location. It's a low-level hook that you should use only when:

  • You build a custom navigation component that needs to read the current app location
  • You need to set the current app location in reaction to a user action (e.g. a click on a menu item).

For any other use case, use useDefineAppLocation instead.

Its API is similar to that of the React.useState() hook:

const [location, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();
const [location, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

Here is how to read the current app location:

import { useAppLocationState } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MySubComponent = props => {
    const [location] = useAppLocationState();

    return <span>{`Hey! You're on the ${location.path} location!`}</span>;
};
import { useAppLocationState } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MySubComponent = (props) => {
    const [location] = useAppLocationState();

    return <span>{`Hey! You're on the ${location.path} location!`}</span>;
};

To define the current app location:

const DensityTab = () => {
    const [_, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

    useEffect(() => {
        setLocation('experiences.parameters.density');
        return () => setLocation();
    }, []);

    // return (/* ... */);
};
const DensityTab = () => {
    const [_, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

    useEffect(() => {
        setLocation("experiences.parameters.density");
        return () => setLocation();
    }, []);

    // return (/* ... */);
};

Notice that the useEffect callback must return a function that resets the app location. This is necessary to let the AppLocationContext deduce the location from the current URL path for pages with no location.

You can also pass a context object as the second argument to setLocation. This can be useful e.g to display the label of the current resource in a breadcrumb path.

const DensityTab = ({ density }) => {
    const [_, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

    useEffect(() => {
        setLocation('experiences.parameters.density', { density });
        return () => setLocation();
    }, [density]);

    // return (/* ... */);
};
const DensityTab = ({ density }) => {
    const [_, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

    useEffect(() => {
        setLocation("experiences.parameters.density", { density });
        return () => setLocation();
    }, [density]);

    // return (/* ... */);
};

The values passed as second parameter of setLocation are available in location.values:

const Breadcrumb = () => {
    const [location] = useAppLocationState();
    // location = { path: 'experiences.parameters.density', values: { density: 0.1 } }

    // return (/* ... */);
};
const Breadcrumb = () => {
    const [location] = useAppLocationState();
    // location = { path: 'experiences.parameters.density', values: { density: 0.1 } }

    // return (/* ... */);
};

Warning: The dashboard location is a reserved word used for the Dashboard page when it exists.

useAppLocationMatcher

The useAppLocationMatcher hook returns a function that checks if the path that is passed as an argument matches the current location path.

If the path matches, the match function returns the current location. If not, it returns null. This can be useful to build custom breadcrumb components.

import { useAppLocationMatcher } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

function PostBreadcrumbItem() {
    const matcher = useAppLocationMatcher();
    const match = matcher('post.edit');
    if (!match) return null;
    return <>Post "{match.record.title}"</>;
}
import { useAppLocationMatcher } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

function PostBreadcrumbItem() {
    const matcher = useAppLocationMatcher();
    const match = matcher("post.edit");
    if (!match) return null;
    return <>Post "{match.record.title}"</>;
}

A component displaying a breadcrumb based on the current AppLocation.

A breadcrumb

Add the breadcrumb component directly to your custom layout or through the extended <Layout> available in the ra-enterprise module using its breadcrumb property.

Accepts the following props:

  • children: Optional. A list of <Breadcrumb.Item>, <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem> and/or <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems> components. <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems> is used by default.
  • className: Optional. The class name to apply to its root element
  • separator: Optional. A custom separator to put inside the items. Either a string or a function returning a string.
  • dashboard: Optional. The component you might have specified on the <Admin> component. Used to determine whether a dashboard is present. If it is, the dashboard item will be added to the breadcrumb on every page.
  • hasDashboard: Optional. A boolean indicating whether a dashboard is present. If it is, the dashboard item will be added to the breadcrumb on every page.

A component displaying a single breadcrumb item if the app location matches its name.

A breadcrumb item

Accepts the following props:

  • name: Required. Will be used to infer its full path.
  • label: Required. The label to display for this item. It accepts translation keys.
  • path: Internal prop used to build the item full path.
  • to: Optional. The react-router path to redirect to.

            </Breadcrumb.Item>
        </Breadcrumb>
    );
};

A version of the <Breadcrumb.Item> dedicated to the dashboard.

Accepts the following props:

  • name: Optional. Will be used to infer its full path.
  • label: Optional. The label to display for this item. It accepts translation keys.
  • path: Internal prop used to build the item full path.
  • to: Optional. The react-router path to redirect to.

A component that renders <Breadcumb.Item> elements for List, Edit, Show, and Create views for a single resource.

Accepts the following props:

  • resource: Required. The resource for which to infer the breadcrumb items.

In the following example:

import { Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="posts" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);
import { Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="posts" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

<MyBreadcrumb> will create all <Breadcumb.Item> elements required to display respectively:

  • Posts on Post List
  • Posts / #1 on Post Show with id = 1
  • Posts / #1 on Post Edit with id = 1
  • Posts / Create on Post Create

As you can see, by default, the records are displayed using their id (e.g. Posts / #1).

However, if you have set a recordRepresentation on the resource, the records will be displayed using this representation instead.

Let's consider the following example:

import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Admin, Resource, Layout, ListGuesser, ShowGuesser } from 'react-admin';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="songs" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource
            name="songs"
            list={ListGuesser}
            show={ShowGuesser}
            recordRepresentation="title"
        />
    </Admin>
);
import { AppLocationContext, Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Admin, Resource, Layout, ListGuesser, ShowGuesser } from "react-admin";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="songs" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

const MyLayout = ({ children, ...rest }) => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...rest}>
            <MyBreadcrumb />
            {children}
        </Layout>
    </AppLocationContext>
);

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} show={ShowGuesser} recordRepresentation="title" />
    </Admin>
);

In this example, when browsing the /songs/1/show page, the breadcrumb will display Songs / Like a Rolling Stone, provided song #1 has the title "Like a Rolling Stone".

Tip: If you need more fine-grained control over the labels, you can override the Resource Breadcrumb items.

A component that renders <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem> elements for every registered resource.

import { Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems />
    </Breadcrumb>
);
import { Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

<Breadcrumb.ResourceItems> accepts the following props:

  • resources: Optional. The resources for which to infer the breadcrumb items. You don't need to specify this prop if you want all resources to be handled.

For instance, if you only need a breadcrumb for the comments and tags resources, in an app also declaring a posts resource, you can write:

import { Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        {/* no Breadcrumb.ResourceItem for the 'posts' resource */}
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems resources={['comments', 'tags']} />
    </Breadcrumb>
);
import { Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        {/* no Breadcrumb.ResourceItem for the 'posts' resource */}
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItems resources={["comments", "tags"]} />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

The example above is equivalent to:

import { Breadcrumb } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="comments" />
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="tags" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);
import { Breadcrumb } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyBreadcrumb = () => (
    <Breadcrumb>
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="comments" />
        <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem resource="tags" />
    </Breadcrumb>
);

Tip: <Breadcrumb.ResourceItem> supports recordRepresentation, which is a convenient way to display the record name instead of its id.

Tip: If you need more fine-grained control over the labels, you can override the Resource Breadcrumb items.

<MultiLevelMenu>

A menu to use instead of the default react-admin menu, which supports multi-level items. Users can show/hide child menu items like a classic collapsible menu.

MultiLevelMenu

The <MultiLevelMenu> accepts the following props:

  • initialOpen: Whether the menu items with sub menus should be open initially. Has no effect if using the categories variant. Defaults to false.

  • openItemList: Optional. List of names of menu items that should be opened by default. If the menu item to be opened is nested, you have to fill in the name of all the parent items. Ex: ['artists', 'artists.rock', 'artists.rock.pop']

import { MultiLevelMenu } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

import { Dashboard } from './Dashboard';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';
import { SongList } from './songs';
import { ArtistList } from './artists';

const MyMenu = () => (

        >
            <MultiLevelMenu.Item

            >
                <MultiLevelMenu.Item

                    to={'/artists?filter={"type":"Folk Rock"}'}
                    label="Folk Rock"
                />
            </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
            <MultiLevelMenu.Item

                    label="R&B"
                />
            </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
        </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
    </MultiLevelMenu>
);
import { MultiLevelMenu } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const MyMenu = () => (
    <MultiLevelMenu>
        <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="dashboard" to="/" exact label="Dashboard" />
        <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="songs" to="/songs" label="Songs" />
        {/* The empty filter is required to avoid falling back to the previously set filter */}
        <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="artists" to={"/artists?filter={}"} label="Artists">
            <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="artists.rock" to={'/artists?filter={"type":"Rock"}'} label="Rock">
                <MultiLevelMenu.Item
                    name="artists.rock.pop"
                    to={'/artists?filter={"type":"Pop Rock"}'}
                    label="Pop Rock"
                />
                <MultiLevelMenu.Item
                    name="artists.rock.folk"
                    to={'/artists?filter={"type":"Folk Rock"}'}
                    label="Folk Rock"
                />
            </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
            <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="artists.jazz" to={'/artists?filter={"type":"Jazz"}'} label="Jazz">
                <MultiLevelMenu.Item name="artists.jazz.rb" to={'/artists?filter={"type":"RB"}'} label="R&B" />
            </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
        </MultiLevelMenu.Item>
    </MultiLevelMenu>
);

In addition to the props of react-router <NavLink> and those of material-ui <ListItem>, <MultiLevelMenu.Item> accepts the following props:

  • icon: Optional. An icon element to display in front of the item
  • name: Required: The name of the item. Used to manage its open/closed state.
  • label: Optional. The label to display for this item. Accepts translation keys.

Tip: You can omit the to property for <MultiLevelMenu.Item> elements that have a child menu item.

<IconMenu>

An alternative menu component rendering a reduced menu bar with a sliding panel for second-level menu items. This menu UI saves a lot of screen real estate and allows for sub-menus of any level of complexity.

    >
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);

In addition to the props of react-router <NavLink> and those of material-ui <ListItem>, <IconMenu.Item> accepts the following props:

  • icon: Optional. An icon element to display in front of the item
  • name: Required: The name of the item. Used to manage its open/closed state.
  • label: Optional. The label to display for this item. Accepts translation keys.

<IconMenuResources>

A <IconMenu> configured to render one menu item per resource, plus an item for the dashboard if it is present.

This component doesn't need any configuration as it reads the resources from the <Admin> context.

import { Layout } from 'react-admin';
import {
    IconMenuResources,
    AppLocationContext,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const MyLayout = props => (
    <AppLocationContext>
        <Layout {...props} menu={IconMenuResources} />
    </AppLocationContext>
);

This menu item component is the same as <MultiLevelMenu.Item>. When used in standalone, it must be a child of a <MenuItemList> component. It can have other <MenuItemNode> children.

import { MenuItemList, MenuItemNode } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { CardContent, Typography } from '@mui/material';

const MenuPopover = () => (
    <CardContent>
        <Typography variant="h3" gutterBottom>
            Artist Categories
        </Typography>
        <MenuItemList>
            <MenuItemNode
                name="artists.rock"
                to={'/artists?filter={"type":"rock"}'}
                label="Rock"
            />
            <MenuItemNode
                name="artists.jazz"
                to={'/artists?filter={"type":"jazz"}'}
                label="Jazz"
            />
            <MenuItemNode
                name="artists.classical"
                to={'/artists?filter={"type":"classical"}'}
                label="Rock"
            />
        </MenuItemList>
    </CardContent>
);

A wrapper to display a list of <MenuItemNode> with proper styles (see above).

Accepts the same props as the material-ui <List> component. See https://material-ui.com/api/list/.

<ContainerLayout>

An alternative to react-admin's <Layout> for applications with a limited number of resources. This layout replaces the sidebar menu by an AppBar menu, and displays the content in a centered container.

Container layout

Usage

Set <ContainerLayout> as the <Admin layout> value:

import { Admin, Resource } from 'react-admin';
import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={ContainerLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);

<ContainerLayout> accepts the following props:

  • menu: The menu component to use. Defaults to <HorizontalMenu>.
  • appBar: The component to use to render the top AppBar. Defaults to <Header>
  • toolbar: The buttons to render on the top right of the toolbar.
  • maxWidth: The maximum width of the content <Container>. Defaults to md.
  • fixed: Whether the content <Container> should be fixed. Defaults to false.

appBar

If you want to use a different color for the AppBar, or to make it sticky, pass a custom appBar element based on <Header>, which is a simple wrapper around MUI's <AppBar> component.

import { ContainerLayout, Header } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const myAppBar = <Header color="primary" position="sticky" />;
const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} appBar={myAppBar} />;

fixed

If you prefer to design for a fixed set of sizes instead of trying to accommodate a fully fluid viewport, you can set the fixed prop. The max-width matches the min-width of the current breakpoint.

import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} fixed />;

maxWidth

This prop allows to set the maximum width of the content <Container>. It accepts a string, one of xs, sm, md, lg, xl, or false to remove side margins and occupy the full width of the screen.

import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} maxWidth="md" />;

By default, <ContainerLayout> renders one menu item per resource in the admin. To reorder the menu, omit resources, or add custom pages, pass a custom menu element to the menu prop. This element should be a <HorizontalMenu> component with <HorizontalMenu.Item> children. Each child should have a value corresponding to the application location of the target, and can have a to prop corresponding to the target location if different from the app location.

import {
    Admin,
    Resource,
    CustomRoutes,
    ListGuesser,
    EditGuesser,
} from 'react-admin';
import { Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import {
    ContainerLayout,
    HorizontalMenu,
    useDefineAppLocation,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const Menu = () => (
    <HorizontalMenu>
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Dashboard" to="/" value="" />
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Songs" to="/songs" value="songs" />
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Artists" to="/artists" value="artists" />
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Custom" to="/custom" value="custom" />
    </HorizontalMenu>
);

const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} menu={<Menu />} />;

const CustomPage = () => {
    useDefineAppLocation('custom');
    return <h1>Custom page</h1>;
};

const Dashboard = () => <h1>Dashboard</h1>;
const CustomPage = () => <h1>Custom page</h1>;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout} dashboard={Dashboard}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} edit={EditGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} edit={EditGuesser} />
        <CustomRoutes>
            <Route path="custom" element={<CustomPage />} />
        </CustomRoutes>
    </Admin>
);

sx

The sx prop allows to customize the style of the layout, and the underlying component. It accepts a MUI sx prop.

import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const MyLayout = props => (
    <ContainerLayout
        {...props}
        sx={{
            '& .MuiToolbar-root': { padding: 0 },
        }}
    />
);

toolbar

The toolbar prop allows to add buttons to the top right of the toolbar. It accepts an element.

import { LocalesMenuButton, LoadingIndicator } from 'react-admin';
import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const toolbar = (
    <>
        <LocalesMenuButton />
        <LoadingIndicator />
    </>
);
const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} toolbar={toolbar} />;

userMenu

By default, the <ContainerLayout> shows a user menu with a single item (logout) when the application has an authProvider. You can customize the user menu by passing a custom element to the userMenu prop.

import { Logout, UserMenu, useUserMenu } from 'react-admin';
import { MenuList, MenuItem, ListItemIcon, ListItemText } from '@mui/material';
import SettingsIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Settings';
import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const ConfigurationMenu = React.forwardRef((props, ref) => {
    const { onClose } = useUserMenu();
    return (
        <MenuItem
            ref={ref}
            {...props}
            to="/configuration"
            onClick={onClose}
            sx={{ color: 'text.secondary' }}
        >
            <ListItemIcon>
                <SettingsIcon />
            </ListItemIcon>
            <ListItemText>Configuration</ListItemText>
        </MenuItem>
    );
});

const CustomUserMenu = () => (
    <UserMenu>
        <MenuList>
            <ConfigurationMenu />
            <Logout />
        </MenuList>
    </UserMenu>
);

export const MyLayout = props => (
    <ContainerLayout {...props} userMenu={<CustomUserMenu />} />
);

<HorizontalMenu>

A horizontal menu component, alternative to react-admin's <Menu>, to be used in the AppBar of the <ContainerLayout>.

Container layout

Usage

Create a menu component based on <HorizontalMenu> and <HorizontalMenu.Item> children. Each child should have a value corresponding to the application location of the target, and can have a to prop corresponding to the target location if different from the app location.

import { HorizontalMenu } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const Menu = () => (
    <HorizontalMenu>
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Dashboard" to="/" value="" />
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Songs" to="/songs" value="songs" />
        <HorizontalMenu.Item label="Artists" to="/artists" value="artists" />
    </HorizontalMenu>
);

Then pass it to the <ContainerLayout>:

import { Admin, Resource } from 'react-admin';
import { ContainerLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

import { Menu } from './Menu';

const MyLayout = props => <ContainerLayout {...props} menu={<Menu />} />;

const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={MyLayout}>
        ...
    </Admin>
);

<SolarLayout>

An alternative application layout without top bar, and using a narrow menu to maximize the usable screen real estate. The menu items can reveal a secondary panel to show sub menus, preference forms, a search engine, etc. Ideal for applications with a large number of resources.

On mobile, it shows the AppBar to allow opening the navigation menu:

It includes and leverages the AppLocationContext

Usage

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import { SolarLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={SolarLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={SolarLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

By default, <SolarLayout> creates a menu based on the <Resource> components passed to <Admin>. You can customize the menu by passing a custom menu component to the menu prop.

Props

Prop Required Type Default Description
appBar Optional Component SolarAppBar Allows to customize the AppBar
className Optional string A class name to apply to the AppBar container.
error Optional Component A React component rendered in the content area in case of error
logo Optional Component A React component used as the dashboard icon
menu Optional Component SolarMenu A React component used as the sidebar menu. Pass a custom SolarMenu to leverage this layout design
sx Optional SxProps Style overrides, powered by MUI System

appBar

You can customize the AppBar that appears on Mobile by setting the appBar prop. For instance, here's how you could customize its colors and add some extra content to its far right:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarAppBar,
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const CustomAppBar = () => (
    <SolarAppBar
        sx={{ color: 'text.secondary', bgcolor: 'background.default' }}
        toolbar={
            <Box
                display="flex"
                justifyContent="space-between"
                alignItems="center"
            >
                <Box mr={1}>Custom toolbar</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>with</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>multiple</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>elements</Box>
            </Box>
        }
    />
);

const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} appBar={CustomAppBar} />
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarAppBar, SolarLayout } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const CustomAppBar = () => (
    <SolarAppBar
        sx={{ color: "text.secondary", bgcolor: "background.default" }}
        toolbar={
            <Box display="flex" justifyContent="space-between" alignItems="center">
                <Box mr={1}>Custom toolbar</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>with</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>multiple</Box>
                <Box mr={1}>elements</Box>
            </Box>
        }
    />
);

const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} appBar={CustomAppBar} />;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

className

className is passed to the root <div> component. It lets you style the layout with CSS - but the sx prop is preferred.

error

Whenever a client-side error happens in react-admin, the user sees an error page. React-admin uses React's Error Boundaries to render this page when any component in the page throws an unrecoverable error.

If you want to customize this page, or log the error to a third-party service, create your own <Error> component, and pass it to a custom Layout, as follows:

// in src/MyLayout.tsx
import { Layout } from 'react-admin';
import { MyError } from './MyError';

export const MyLayout = props => <Layout {...props} error={MyError} />;
// in src/MyLayout.tsx
import { Layout } from "react-admin";
import { MyError } from "./MyError";

export const MyLayout = (props) => <Layout {...props} error={MyError} />;

The following snippet is a simplified version of the react-admin Error component, that you can use as a base for your own:

// in src/MyError.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';
import ErrorIcon from '@mui/icons-material/Report';
import History from '@mui/icons-material/History';
import { Title, useTranslate } from 'react-admin';
import { useLocation } from 'react-router-dom';

export const MyError = ({
    error,
    resetErrorBoundary,
}: {
    error: any;
    errorInfo: any;
    resetErrorBoundary: (...args: any[]) => void;
}) => {
    const { pathname } = useLocation();
    const originalPathname = useRef(pathname);

    // Effect that resets the error state whenever the location changes
    useEffect(() => {
        if (pathname !== originalPathname.current) {
            resetErrorBoundary();
        }
    }, [pathname, resetErrorBoundary]);

    const translate = useTranslate();
    return (
        <div>
            <Title title="Error" />
            <h1>
                <ErrorIcon /> Something Went Wrong{' '}
            </h1>
            <div>
                A client error occurred and your request couldn't be completed.
            </div>
            {process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' && (
                <details>
                    <h2>{translate(error.toString())}</h2>
                    {errorInfo.componentStack}
                </details>
            )}
            <div>
                <Button
                    variant="contained"
                    startIcon={<History />}
                    onClick={() => history.go(-1)}
                >
                    Back
                </Button>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};
// in src/MyError.tsx
import * as React from "react";
import Button from "@mui/material/Button";
import ErrorIcon from "@mui/icons-material/Report";
import History from "@mui/icons-material/History";
import { Title, useTranslate } from "react-admin";
import { useLocation } from "react-router-dom";

export const MyError = ({ error, resetErrorBoundary }) => {
    const { pathname } = useLocation();
    const originalPathname = useRef(pathname);

    // Effect that resets the error state whenever the location changes
    useEffect(() => {
        if (pathname !== originalPathname.current) {
            resetErrorBoundary();
        }
    }, [pathname, resetErrorBoundary]);

    const translate = useTranslate();
    return (
        <div>
            <Title title="Error" />
            <h1>
                <ErrorIcon /> Something Went Wrong{" "}
            </h1>
            <div>A client error occurred and your request couldn't be completed.</div>
            {process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production" && (
                <details>
                    <h2>{translate(error.toString())}</h2>
                    {errorInfo.componentStack}
                </details>
            )}
            <div>
                <Button variant="contained" startIcon={<History />} onClick={() => history.go(-1)}>
                    Back
                </Button>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
};

Tip: React's Error Boundaries are used internally to display the Error Page whenever an error occurs. Error Boundaries only catch errors during rendering, in lifecycle methods, and in constructors of the components tree. This implies in particular that errors during event callbacks (such as 'onClick') are not concerned. Also note that the Error Boundary component is only set around the main container of React Admin. In particular, you won't see it for errors thrown by the sidebar Menu, nor the AppBar. This ensures the user is always able to navigate away from the Error Page.

You can customize the icon of the dashboard menu item of the default menu by setting the logo prop:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import { SolarLayoutProps, SolarLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Dashboard } from './Dashboard';
import { Logo } from './Logo';

const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} logo={<Logo />} />
);

export const WithDashboardAndCustomLogo = () => (
    <Admin dashboard={Dashboard} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Dashboard } from "./Dashboard";
import { Logo } from "./Logo";

const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} logo={<Logo />} />;

export const WithDashboardAndCustomLogo = () => (
    <Admin dashboard={Dashboard} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);

If you need a customized menu, pass it to the menu prop. It's recommended to pass a customized <SolarMenu> to leverage this layout. This is useful to organize many resources into categories or to provide shortcuts to filtered lists:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarMenu,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

export const App = () => (
    <Admin
        dashboard={Dashboard}
        dataProvider={dataProvider}
        layout={CustomLayout}
    >
        <Resource name="songs" icon={MusicNote} list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" icon={People} list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

const CustomLayout = ({ children, ...props }: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu}>
        {children}
    </SolarLayout>
);

const CustomMenu = () => (
    <SolarMenu>
        <SolarMenu.Item
            label="Sales"
            subMenu={
                <SolarMenu.List>
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="orders" />
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="invoices" />
                </SolarMenu.List>
            }
        />
        <SolarMenu.Item
            label="Catalog"

                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="categories" />
                </SolarMenu.List>
            }
        />
        <SolarMenu.Item
            label="Customers"
            subMenu={

                    />
                    <SolarMenu.Item
                        name="customers.new"

sx

The sx prop allows you to customize the layout styles using a MUI SX object:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import { SolarLayoutProps, SolarLayout } from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';

const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} sx={{ bgcolor: 'white' }} />
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";

const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} sx={{ bgcolor: "white" }} />;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

<SolarMenu>

The default menu for the <SolarLayout>. It displays a thin sidebar with menu items and a second sliding sidebar for its items that have children. On small devices, it is hidden and can be displayed by clicking on the <SolarAppBar> toggle button.

By default, just like the classic react-admin menu, it contains menu items for each resource and the dashboard if present, without any secondary sliding menu.

Props

Prop Required Type Default Description
bottomToolbar Optional ReactNode The content to render inside the bottom section of the menu.
children Optional ReactNode The content to render inside the top section of the menu.
dense Optional boolean false Whether the menu should be dense.
logo Optional Component A React component used as the dashboard icon
userMenu Optional Component Allows to customize the user menu

In addition, the SolarMenu object provides shortcuts to its items components:

children

The children prop is the primary way to leverage the <SolarMenu> component. It allows you to pass the menu items that are displayed in the top section of the sidebar while keeping the bottom section defaults.

For instance, here's how to group resources into categories or provide shortcuts to pre-filtered lists:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarMenu,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';

const CustomMenu = () => (
    <SolarMenu>
        <SolarMenu.Item
            label="Sales"
            subMenu={
                <SolarMenu.List>
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="orders" />
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="invoices" />
                </SolarMenu.List>
            }
        />
        <SolarMenu.Item
            label="Catalog"
            subMenu={
                <SolarMenu.List>
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="products" />
                    <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="categories" />
                </SolarMenu.List>
            }

                            JSON.stringify({

                        label="New reviews"
                        to={`/reviews?filter=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ filter: {} }))}`}
                    />
                    <SolarMenu.Item
                        name="reviews.pending"
                        label="Pending reviews"
                        to={`/reviews?filter=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ filter: { status: "pending" } }))}`}
                    />
                    <SolarMenu.Item
                        name="reviews.bad"
                        label="Bad reviews"
                        to={`/reviews?filter=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({ filter: { rating_lte: 2 } }))}`}
                    />
                </SolarMenu.List>
            }
        />
        <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="stores" />
        <SolarMenu.ResourceItem name="events" />
    </SolarMenu>
);

dense

Set the dense prop to true to reduce the vertical space between items:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarMenu,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { ListItemButton } from '@mui/material';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu dense />;

const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu} />
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout, SolarMenu } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { dataProvider } from "./dataProvider";

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu dense />;

const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu} />;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

userMenu

The userMenu prop allows you to customize the very last menu item of the sidebar.

By default, if you have an authProvider, this menu item will have the user avatar as its icon when available from the authProvider.getIdentity function. If not available, it will display a user icon.

If you don't have an authProvider but have configured a dark theme or your i18nProvider supports multiple locales, this menu item will have a settings icon.

Besides, this default menu has a secondary sliding panel.

If you have an authProvider, this secondary sliding panel will show the user full name when available from the authProvider.getIdentity function and a logout button. If the user full name is not available, it will display a the logout button only.

If you have configured a dark theme, the secondary sliding panel will show a button to toggle it.

If your i18nProvider supports multiple locales, it will display a list of the supported locales so that users can switch to them.

You can customize it by passing your own content to the userMenu prop. For instance, here's how to only show a logout button:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarMenu,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { ListItemButton } from '@mui/material';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';

const CustomUserMenu = () => {
    const logout = useLogout();

    return (
        <ListItemButton onClick={() => logout()} aria-label="Logout">
            <ExitIcon />
        </ListItemButton>
    );
};

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu userMenu={<CustomUserMenu />} />;

const CustomLayout = ({ children, ...props }: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu}>
        {children}
    </SolarLayout>
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin
        dashboard={Dashboard}
        dataProvider={dataProvider}
        layout={CustomLayout}
    >
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout, SolarMenu } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { ListItemButton } from "@mui/material";
import { dataProvider } from "./dataProvider";

const CustomUserMenu = () => {
    const logout = useLogout();

    return (
        <ListItemButton onClick={() => logout()} aria-label="Logout">
            <ExitIcon />
        </ListItemButton>
    );
};

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu userMenu={<CustomUserMenu />} />;

const CustomLayout = ({ children, ...props }) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu}>
        {children}
    </SolarLayout>
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dashboard={Dashboard} dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

bottomToolbar

The bottom section of the <SolarMenu> contains the refresh button and the user menu by default.

You can customize it by passing your own content to the bottomToolbar prop.

For instance, here's how to show a settings menu item in addition to the existing bottom menu items:

import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarLayoutProps,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarMenu,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { ListItemButton } from '@mui/material';
import { dataProvider } from './dataProvider';

const CustomBottomToolbar = () => (
    <SolarMenu.List>
        <SolarMenu.Item
            name="settings"
            label="Settings"
            to="/settings"
            icon={<Settings />}
        />
        <SolarMenu.LoadingIndicatorItem />
        <SolarMenu.UserItem />
    </SolarMenu.List>
);

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu bottomToolbar={<CustomBottomToolbar />} />;

const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu} />
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, ListGuesser } from "react-admin";
import { SolarLayout, SolarMenu } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { dataProvider } from "./dataProvider";

const CustomBottomToolbar = () => (
    <SolarMenu.List>
        <SolarMenu.Item name="settings" label="Settings" to="/settings" icon={<Settings />} />
        <SolarMenu.LoadingIndicatorItem />
        <SolarMenu.UserItem />
    </SolarMenu.List>
);

const CustomMenu = () => <SolarMenu bottomToolbar={<CustomBottomToolbar />} />;

const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} menu={CustomMenu} />;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={ListGuesser} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ListGuesser} />
    </Admin>
);

<SolarMenu.Item>

An item for the <SolarMenu> component. <SolarMenu.Item> components require an icon and a label, as well as a name to determine if they match the current app location.

There are two types of item components:

  1. Those that render a link to a resource or a custom page, and contain a to prop:
<SolarMenu.Item
    label="Customers"
    icon={<PeopleOutlined />}
    name="customers"
    to="/customers"
/>
  1. Those that render a sub menu when clicked, and contain a subMenu prop:
<SolarMenu.Item
    label="Reports"
    icon={<ReportsIcon />}
    name="reports"
    subMenu={
        <SolarMenu.List dense disablePadding sx={{ gap: 0 }}>
            <Typography variant="h6" sx={{ px: 1, my: 1 }}>
                Reports
            </Typography>
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.password_reports"
                to="/reports/password_reports"
                label="Password Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.user_reports"
                to="/reports/user_reports"
                label="User Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.general_reports"
                to="/reports/general_reports"
                label="General Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.compliance_reports"
                to="/reports/compliance_reports"
                label="Compliance Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.custom_reports"
                to="/reports/custom_reports"
                label="Custom Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.certificate_reports"
                to="/reports/certificate_reports"
                label="Certificate Reports"
            />
            <SolarMenu.Item
                name="reports.ssh_key_reports"
                to="/reports/ssh_key_reports"
                label="SSH Key Reports"
            />
        </SolarMenu.List>
    }
/>

Notice how sub menus are also collections of <SolarMenu.Item> components.

Props

Prop Required Type Default Description
children Optional ReactNode The content to render inside the secondary sliding sidebar when this item is clicked.
icon Optional ReactNode The icon. Required for the primary sidebar, optional for the secondary sliding sidebar

Additional props are passed to the underlying Material-UI <ListItem> component.

<SolarMenu.ResourceItem>

An item for the <SolarMenu> component. Its children will be rendered inside the secondary sliding sidebar.

It accepts the same props as MUI's <SolarMenuItem> component.

Prop Required Type Default Description
name Required string The name of the resource this item represents.

If you provided an icon on the <Resource> component, it will be used by default. It sets the <SolarMenuItem> to prop to the resource list page and the label prop to the resource label.

<SolarMenuDashboardItem>

It accepts the same props as MUI's <SolarMenuItem> component. It sets the <SolarMenuItem> to prop to the root page and the label prop to the ra.page.dashboard. You can override its default icon by either passing the logo prop to the <SolarMenu> component or setting the icon prop on this component directly.

<SolarAppBar>

An AppBar alternative for the SolarLayout that is only shown on small devices. It displays the app title if provided and the button allowing to open the sidebar.

Usage

You can customize it by passing children:

import { Admin, AppBarProps, Resource, LoadingIndicator } from 'react-admin';
import {
    SolarAppBar,
    SolarLayout,
    SolarLayoutProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-navigation';
import { Search } from '@react-admin/ra-search';

const CustomAppBar = () => (
    <SolarAppBar>
        <Search />
        <LoadingIndicator />
    </SolarAppBar>
);

export const CustomLayout = (props: SolarLayoutProps) => (
    <SolarLayout {...props} appBar={CustomAppBar} />
);

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);
import { Admin, Resource, LoadingIndicator } from "react-admin";
import { SolarAppBar, SolarLayout } from "@react-admin/ra-navigation";
import { Search } from "@react-admin/ra-search";

const CustomAppBar = () => (
    <SolarAppBar>
        <Search />
        <LoadingIndicator />
    </SolarAppBar>
);

export const CustomLayout = (props) => <SolarLayout {...props} appBar={CustomAppBar} />;

export const App = () => (
    <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={CustomLayout}>
        <Resource name="songs" list={SongList} />
        <Resource name="artists" list={ArtistList} />
    </Admin>
);

Breaking Change

If you use useAppLocationState to set the location in a useEffect hook, you must now return a cleanup function that returns an empty location on unmount:

const DensityTab = () => {
    const [_, setLocation] = useAppLocationState();

    useEffect(() => {
        setLocation('experiences.parameters.density');
+       return () => setLocation();
    }, []);

    // return (/* ... */);
};

useAppLocationState is considered a low-level hook and should not be used often - that's why we decided to publish this change in a minor version.
