hooks
Customization hooks allow you to modify various areas of the Admin UI to better suit your development needs. The index.js file at the given path should export a single config object containing your chosen hooks. All are optional. See Customization for available hooks.
If omitted, Keystone will look under ./admin-ui/ for a hooks config export.
Usage
new AdminUIApp({ hooks: require.resolve('./custom-hooks-path') });
isAccessAllowed
This function takes the same arguments as a shorthand imperative boolean access control. It must return either true or false.
Important: If omitted, all users with accounts will be able to access the Admin UI. The example below would restrict access to users with the
isAdminpermission.
Usage
new AdminUIApp({
/*...config */
isAccessAllowed: ({ authentication: { item: user, listKey: list } }) => !!user && !!user.isAdmin,
}),
