refine Is An Open Source Rapid Application Development Kit For Next.js Developers
Build your React-based CRUD applications, without constraints.
Refine is an open-source Next.js development kit that enables rapid development of flexible React-based CRUD applications. It eliminates repetitive tasks and offers industry-standard solutions for critical aspects such as authentication, access control, routing, networking, state management, and i18n. Refine is headless, allowing for unlimited styling and customization options.
Begin headless, refine allows developers to use any data recourse, many backend headless CMS and systems, low-code and no-code systems, and allows them several authentication services.
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.
It is an ideal solution to build admin panels, eCommerce solutions, dashboards, dynamic forms, and more.
refine comes with 15+ data connectors that include: REST API, Supabase, Strapi (REST API, and GraphQL), Firebase, Directus, and Appwrite.
