Customizing the admin labels with a component

[christopherpickering]

Hi! Does anyone know how to customize the admin collection labels with a component? I have an orders collection and want to add a count of open orders next to the labels, like this:

Thanks :)

Hey @christopherpickering,

Yeah, so it sounds like you could do this with custom components. You would likely need a custom nav component and a custom dashboard component here to override these in the way that you want. I do something similar in this example where I use an RSC for the dashboard to fetch doc counts before rendering those cards out. You could do the same for the nav.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Your work looks really cool. It would be cool, tho, if I could modify that single element without having to maintain a complete override.

@akhrarovsaid Those icons look really nice, but as I understand it, adding an icon in front of a label in the Nav means I have to write the complete Nav component from scratch? Like you did in your example?
