This guide provides a detailed reference for configuring your TanStarter website.

Shared Data Types
The configuration uses consistent data types across different menus:
MenuItemConfig
Basic menu item with the following properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
title | string | Display text for the menu item |
description | string? | Optional description for dropdown items |
icon | TablerIcon? | Optional icon component from Tabler Icons |
href | string? | Link URL destination |
external | boolean? | Whether the link opens in a new tab |
authorizeOnly | string[]? | User roles that can see this item |
items | MenuItemConfig[]? | Submenu items for dropdowns |
Best Practices
- Use consistent icons from Tabler Icons
- For role-based items, always use the
authorizeOnlyproperty to limit visibility - Use the
Routesobject (insrc/lib/routes.ts) for defining URLs to ensure consistency
