Menu - add custom url

[TrilipuT]

Hey!
Is it possible to add a custom url to menu ? Or even better - make it dynamic based on user.
I think something like function call might work?

{
            label: 'My House Vehicles',
            icon: 'material-symbols:car-tag-outline',
            resourceId: 'myvehicle',
            url: (adminUser)=>{
                return 'vehicles?filter__building__in=["'+adminUser.dbUser.building+'"]'
            },
}

My example:
I have database of vehicles. Each vehicle belongs to some building. There are admins of each building.
I want to have a menu item like "my building vehicles" where i can show only vehicles from building that assigned to current admin.

alternatively it can be static url and i can try read url param on beforeDatasourceRequest and try to add necessary filters.

Hi!
Currently it's not possible to set a dynamic custom URL in the menu configuration.
However, you can achieve the same behavior by filtering the resource data dynamically using hooks in the resource configuration.
For example, you can use the list.beforeDatasourceRequest hook to automatically filter vehicles based on the building assigned to the current admin user.

{
  resourceId: 'myvehicle',
  columns: [
    // your columns...
  ],
  hooks: {
    list: {
      beforeDatasourceRequest: async ({ query, adminUser }) => {
        // Filter vehicles by the admin's building
        query.filterTools.replaceOrAddTopFilter(
          Filters.EQ('building', adminUser.dbUser.building)
        );

        return { ok: true };
      },
    },
  },
}

Thank you for the issue

ok, that was my plan b.
Is there a way to add a static url or params to menu URL?

[SerVitasik]

Currently no, but we will implement this in a few days

The feature was implemented. Here is an example: https://adminforth.dev/docs/tutorial/Customization/menuConfiguration/

Hey, @SerVitasik
thanks for implementing this! Can you tell me which version it goes live? I can't find it yet in 2.25.4...

Oh sorry, I forgot to merge this feature into the main branch. It should be available now - you can test it.
