It eliminates repetitive tasks in CRUD operations and provides industry-standard solutions for critical project components like authentication, access control, routing, networking, state management, and i18n.
Chakra UI is a simple, modular and accessible component library that gives you the building blocks you need to build your React applications.
Refine is headless by design, offering unlimited styling and customization options. Moreover, refine ships with ready-made integrations for Ant Design, Material UI, Mantine, and Chakra UI for convenience.
Refine has connectors for 15+ backend services, including REST API, GraphQL, and popular services like Airtable, Strapi, Supabase, Firebase, and NestJS.
To use Refine with Chakra UI, you need to install the following package @refinedev/chakra-ui along with the Chakra UI packages:
npm install @refinedev/chakra-ui @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motionStart a new project with Refine in seconds using the following command:
npm create refine-app@latest my-refine-appOr you can create a new project on your browser:
Here's Refine in action, the below code is an example of a simple CRUD application using Refine + React Router + Chakra UI:
import React from "react";
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import {
ErrorComponent,
ThemedLayoutV2,
RefineThemes,
useNotificationProvider,
} from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import routerBindings from "@refinedev/react-router";
import { BrowserRouter, Outlet, Route, Routes } from "react-router";
import { ProductList } from "./pages/products/list";
export default function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<ChakraProvider theme={RefineThemes.Blue}>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerBindings}
dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
notificationProvider={useNotificationProvider()}
resources={[
{
name: "products",
list: "/products",
},
]}
options={{
syncWithLocation: true,
warnWhenUnsavedChanges: true,
}}
>
<Routes>
<Route
element={

<Outlet />

<Route index element={<ProductList />} />
