## What is refine?

**refine** is a React-based framework for the rapid ✨ development of web applications.
It eliminates repetitive tasks demanded by **CRUD** operations and provides industry standard solutions for critical parts like **authentication**, **access control**, **routing**, **networking**, **state management**, and **i18n**.

**refine** is _headless by design_, thereby offering unlimited styling and customization options.

## What do you mean by "headless" ?

Instead of being a limited set of pre-styled components, **refine** is a collection of helper `hooks`, `components`, and `providers`. They are all decoupled from _UI components_ and _business logic_, so that they never keep you from customizing your _UI_ or coding your own flow.

**refine** seamlessly works with any **custom design** or **UI framework** that you favor. For convenience, it ships with ready-made integrations for [Ant Design System](https://ant.design/), [Material UI](https://mui.com/), [Mantine](https://mantine.dev/), and [Chakra UI](https://chakra-ui.com/).

## Use cases

**refine** shines on _data-intensive⚡_ applications like **admin panels**, **dashboards** and **internal tools**. Thanks to the built-in **SSR support**, **refine** can also power _customer-facing_ applications like **storefronts**.

You can take a look at some live examples that can be built using **refine** from scratch:

⚛ Perfect **state management** & **mutations** with **React Query**

🔀 **Advanced routing** with any router library of your choice

🔐 Providers for seamless **authentication** and **access control** flows

⚡ Out-of-the-box support for **live / real-time applications**

📄 Easy **audit logs** & **document versioning**

💬 Support for any **i18n** framework

💪 Future-proof, **robust architecture**

⌛️ Built-in CLI with time-saving features

✅ Full **test coverage**

## Quick Start

The fastest way to get started with **refine** is by using the `create refine-app` project starter tool.
Run the following command to create a new **refine** project configured with [Ant Design System](https://ant.design/) as the default UI framework:

```
npm create refine-app@latest -- --preset refine-antd
```

Once the setup is complete, navigate to the project folder and start your project with:

```
npm run dev
```

<br/>

Your **refine** application will be accessible at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000):

<br/>

Let's consume a public `fake REST API` and add two resources (_posts_, _categories_) to our project. Replace the contents of `src/App.tsx` with the following code:

```tsx title="src/App.tsx"
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import {
    Layout,
    ReadyPage,
    notificationProvider,
    ErrorComponent,
} from "@pankod/refine-antd";
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";

import { AntdInferencer } from "@pankod/refine-inferencer/antd";

import "@pankod/refine-antd/dist/reset.css";

const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Refine
            routerProvider={routerProvider}
            dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
            Layout={Layout}
            ReadyPage={ReadyPage}
            notificationProvider={notificationProvider}
            catchAll={<ErrorComponent />}
            resources={[
                {
                    name: "posts",
                    list: AntdInferencer,
                    show: AntdInferencer,
                    create: AntdInferencer,
                    edit: AntdInferencer,
                    canDelete: true,
                },
                {
                    name: "categories",
                    list: AntdInferencer,
                    show: AntdInferencer,
                },
            ]}
        />
    );
};

export default App;
```

<br/>

🚀 Thanks to **refine Inferencer package**, it guesses the configuration to use for the `list`, `show`, `create`, and `edit` pages based on the data fetched from the API and generates the pages automatically.

Now, you should see the output as a table populated with `post` & `category` data:

![First example result](https://refine.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/website/static/img/readme-quick-start.png)

<br/>

You can get the auto-generated pages codes by clicking the `Show Code` button on each page. Afterward, simply pass the pages to the `resources` array by replacing with the Inferencer components.
