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.
Ant Design is a React.js UI library that contains easy-to-use components that are useful for building interactive user interfaces.
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 Ant Design, you need to install the following package @refinedev/antd
along with the Ant Design packages:
npm install @refinedev/antd antd
Start a new project with Refine in seconds using the following command:
npm create refine-app@latest my-refine-app
Or 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 + Ant Design:
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/antd";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import routerBindings from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import { BrowserRouter, Outlet, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import "antd/dist/reset.css";
export default function App() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
dataProvider={dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev")}
routerProvider={routerBindings}
resources={[
{
name: "products",
list: "/products",
},
]}
>
<Routes>
<Route
element={
<ThemedLayoutV2>
<Outlet />
</ThemedLayoutV2>
}
>
<Route path="/products">
<Route index element={<ProductList />} />
</Route>
</Route>
</Routes>
</Refine>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
// src/pages/products/list.tsx
import { useMany } from "@refinedev/core";
import { List, useTable, DateField } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Table } from "antd";
const ProductList = () => {
const { tableProps } = useTable();
const { data: categories, isLoading } = useMany({
resource: "categories",
ids:
tableProps?.dataSource
?.map((item) => item?.category?.id)
.filter(Boolean) ?? [],
queryOptions: {
enabled: !!tableProps?.dataSource,
},
});
return (
<List>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
<Table.Column
dataIndex="category"
title={"Category"}
render={(value) =>
isLoading
? "Loading..."
: categories?.data?.find((item) => item.id === value?.id)?.title
}
/>
<Table.Column
dataIndex="createdAt"
title="Created At"
render={(value) => <DateField value={value} />}
/>
</Table>
</List>
);
};
The result will look like this:
