Refine is a headless React framework for building data-intensive applications like admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools. It provides a UI-agnostic core with adapters for Ant Design, Material UI, Mantine, and Chakra UI, plus data providers for REST, GraphQL, Supabase, Strapi, and other backends. The architecture centers around provider patterns (dataProvider, authProvider, etc.) and React Query-based hooks for data fetching and mutations. Key features include automatic CRUD generation via inferencer, undoable notifications, access control, i18n, and live updates. The monorepo structure manages numerous packages and examples, demonstrating a mature ecosystem with active development and comprehensive documentation.
The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:
Custom hook encapsulating data fetching for lists with pagination, sorting, filtering, and soft-delete support. Extends React Query with refine-specific options while maintaining type safety and consistent API across data providers.
Manages undoable notifications via a queue pattern, allowing users to revert actions (e.g., deletions) within a time window. Demonstrates advanced state management and UX patterns reusable in any application requiring transient feedback with undo.
Defines access provider interface and provides useCan hook and <CanAccess> component for declarative permission checking. Separates access control logic from UI concerns, enabling easy integration with solutions like Casbin, Cerbos, or Permify.
