Menu

This guide provides an overview of how to use, manage, and customize the menu configuration in your project.

The menu is configured at src/menu/index.tsx

Each menu item supports properties like id, title, icon, url, type, and roles for fine-grained control.

Adding or Removing Menu Items

• Adding a New Menu Group 1. Create a new file (e.g., newGroup.tsx) in the same folder as manage.tsx and other.tsx. 2. Define the menu group structure as a NavItemType object:\

  {% code title="src/menu/newGroup.tsx" %}

  const newGroup: NavItemType = {
    id: 'group-new',
    title: "newGroup",
    icon: 'IconNew',
    type: 'group',
    children: [
      {
        id: 'new-item',
        title: "newItem",
        type: 'item',
        url: '/new-item',
        icon: 'IconLink'
      }
    ]
  };
  
  export default newGroup;

  {% endcode %}

  3. Import and add the new group in index.tsx:

  {% code title=" src/menu/index.tsx" %}

  import newGroup from './newGroup';
  
  const menuItems: { items: NavItemType[] } = {
    items: [manage, other, newGroup]
  };
  
  export default menuItems;

  {% endcode %}

• Removing an Existing Menu Group 1. Open index.tsx. 2. Remove the corresponding group from the items array:\

  {% code title="src/menu/index.tsx" %}

  const menuItems: { items: NavItemType[] } = {
    items: [manage] // Removed "other" menu group
  };

  {% endcode %}* Adding a New Menu Item 1. Open the desired group file (e.g., manage.tsx). 2. Add a new item to the children array:\

  {
    id: 'reports',
    title: "reports",
    type: 'item',
    url: '/reports',
    icon: 'IconReport'
  }

• Removing a Menu Item 1. Open the desired group file. 2. Remove the specific item from the children array.

Changing Icons

To change an icon for a menu item: 1. Identify the icon property of the menu item. 2. Replace it with the desired icon name:

icon: 'IconNewIcon'

Ensure the new icon exists in your icon library.

Managing Roles

The roles Property controls which user roles can access specific menu items. For more details, refer documentation of role guard.

• Adding Roles 1. Open the file where the menu item is defined. 2. Add the desired roles to the roles array:\

  roles: [AuthRole.ADMIN, AuthRole.USER]

• Removing Roles 1. Remove the role from the roles array\

  roles: [AuthRole.ADMIN] // Removed AuthRole.USER

• Making a Menu Item Public To make a menu item accessible to all users, remove the roles property:\

  {
    id: 'dashboard',
    title: "dashboard",
    type: 'item',
    url: '/dashboard/analytics',
    icon: 'IconLayoutGrid'
    // No roles property here
  }

Translation Keys

Menu titles use the FormattedMessage component for internationalization. Internationalization is set up in the src/utils/locales folder, which currently contains JSON files for four languages. 1. en.json English 2. fr.json French 3. ro.json Romanian 4. zh.json Chinese (Simplified)

• Adding a New Translation Key 1. Add the key to your translation files:\

  {
    "newGroup": "New Group",
    "newItem": "New Item"
  }
