Quick Start

Here's Refine in action, the below code is an example of a simple CRUD application using Refine + React Router + Material UI:

import React from "react";
import { Refine, useMany } from "@refinedev/core";
import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";
import routerBindings from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import { BrowserRouter, Outlet, Route, Routes } from "react-router-dom";

import CssBaseline from "@mui/material/CssBaseline";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <CssBaseline />
      <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 { List, useDataGrid, DateField } from "@refinedev/mui";
import { DataGrid, GridColDef } from "@mui/x-data-grid";

export const ProductList = () => {
  const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

  const { data: categories, isLoading } = useMany({
    resource: "categories",
    ids:
      dataGridProps?.rows?.map((item) => item?.category?.id).filter(Boolean) ??
      [],
    queryOptions: {
      enabled: !!dataGridProps?.rows,
    },
  });

  const columns = React.useMemo<GridColDef[]>(
    () => [
      { field: "id", headerName: "ID", type: "number" },
      { field: "name", flex: 1, headerName: "Name" },
      {
        field: "category",
        flex: 1,
        headerName: "Category",
        renderCell: ({ value }) =>
          isLoading
            ? "Loading..."
            : categories?.data?.find((item) => item.id === value?.id)?.title,
      },
      {
        field: "createdAt",
        flex: 1,
        headerName: "Created at",
        renderCell: ({ value }) => <DateField value={value} />,
      },
    ],
    [categories?.data, isLoading],
  );

  return (
    <List>
      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columns} autoHeight />
    </List>
  );
};

The result will look like this:
