Refine Dev

Refine is a headless React framework that handles the plumbing for admin panels and CRUD apps so you don't have to wire up data fetching, routing, and auth yourself. It gives you hooks like useList, useTable, and useForm that work with any backend through data provider adapters (REST, GraphQL, Supabase, whatever). The 5.0.12 release fixed how useList preserves custom fields from your API, which matters if you're sending back aggregates or metadata. It's UI-agnostic but integrates cleanly with Mantine or Ant Design. The big win is that it enforces a resource-based architecture, so your CRUD apps stay consistent instead of turning into a pile of one-off components. Best for internal tools and dashboards where you want structure without a full backend framework.
