What's inside Refine

  1. Overview of ngx-admin

    main

    ngx-admin is an admin panel template built on Angular (9+), Bootstrap (4+), and Nebular. It is designed to help produce maintainable and performant production-ready applications or prototypes.

    Key Features

    • UI Library: Uses Nebular, a customizable Angular UI library based on the Eva Design System, providing 40+ UI components and 4 visual themes.
    • Theming Options: Includes themes such as Material Light, Material Dark, Cosmic, Corporate, Dark, and Light.
    • Security: Includes a pluggable authentication and authorization module that provides components for Login, Logout, Register, Password Recovery, and Password Reset.
    • Auth Services: Provides services like NbAuthService, NbTokenService, NbTokenLocalStorage, NbAuthJWTToken, and NbAuthOAuth2Token, with configurable strategies like NbPasswordAuthStrategy and NbOAuth2AuthStrategy.

  2. Overview of Refine

    main

    Refine is an open-source, headless React framework designed for building enterprise web applications. It focuses on automating repetitive CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and provides standardized solutions for:

    • Authentication
    • Access Control
    • Routing
    • Networking
    • State Management
    • i18n (Internationalization)

    Because it is headless by design, it does not enforce a specific UI, allowing for unlimited styling. However, it provides ready-made integrations for popular UI libraries including Ant Design, Material UI, Mantine, and Chakra UI. It also supports connectors for over 15 backend services such as REST API, GraphQL, Airtable, Strapi, Supabase, Firebase, and Directus.

  3. What is Refine.new?

    main

    Refine.new is a browser-based tool designed to generate Refine boilerplates instantly. It allows developers to mix and match different libraries to create tailored project configurations, preview the resulting application in real-time in the browser, share the preview via URL, and download the complete source code.

    Key capabilities include:

    • Streamlined Library Integration: Combine various React platforms (Vite, Next.js, Remix), UI frameworks (Ant Design, Material UI, Mantine, Chakra UI, or headless), Data Providers (REST, Supabase, Strapi, NestJs, Appwrite, Airtable), and Authentication providers (Google, Keycloak, Auth0, etc.).
    • Account-Based Management: Save boilerplates to an account for future download.
    • Continuous Updates: Downloaded boilerplates include the latest Refine updates.
    • Batteries Included: Generated apps come with working Authentication, Dashboard, and CRUD pages.
    • Real-time Configuration: Change theme colors and logos with instant browser previews.

    Key Capabilities

    • Versatile UI Support: Built-in support for Ant Design, Material UI, Chakra UI, and Mantine.
    • Flexible React Platforms: Compatible with Vite, Remix, Next.js, and other full-stack frameworks.
    • Extensive Backend Integration: Supports REST API, Strapi, NestJS, Appwrite, Airtable, Hasura, GraphQL, Firebase, and Supabase.
    • Authentication Providers: Ready-to-use providers for Google Auth, Keycloak, Auth0, and custom authentication services.
    • Security & Access Control: Supports fine-grained access control models including ACL, RBAC, and ABAC. It integrates with Cerbos and Casbin.
    • Extensibility: Easily integrates with tools like React Table, K-Bar, and React Hook Form.
