Removing the "Gift Cards" side menu from admin UI?

[olalonde]

Is it possible to remove menu items in the admin side nav?

Or would I have to fork the admin UI package to do this?

You could also edit the sidebar in the @medusajs/admin-ui package within your node_modules folder, and then use the "patch-package" package to make sure the changes stick when the admin-ui package is updated or reinstalled.

[pevey]

yarn add -D patch-package

Then, add this in the scripts section of your package.json:

"scripts": {
      "postinstall": "patch-package",
...

Then, edit the files that you want to edit in your node_modules/@medusajs/admin-ui folder. Then, run npx patch-package @medusajs/admin-ui. Then, be sure to add the patch files to your repo. Now, those patches will be applied any time the admin-ui package is installed.

This is what the patch folder looks like:

Does this answer still work with new medusa 2.0?

@valkor have you checked by any chance if it works on 2.0?

@pevey can you specify which file to change, I need to hide the product option.

Hello guys! Is there maybe some "native" solution for this, or is it expected to use patches?

Ah... Found it here: https://docs.perseides.org/guides/v2/customize-admin-ui/standalone

TBH, this looks like bad idea to do... It's like pulling/downloading functionality that you do not need and then explicitly remove it with some patch, not good... I think better is to duplicate admin UI repo and manage it separately, e.g. remove things you do not need, as it can help a lot. What do you think guys?
