1.3. About the App

The app generated is a basic React admin panel for managing blog posts. It is created as default at initialization by refine App Scaffolder, which employs the create refine app CLI in the background. Generally, for a custom app, we need to remove the blog post resources and then start tweaking according to our requirements. However, for the simple purposes of this tutorial, we'll stick with the Example CRUD app resources.

The React admin panel app stack consists of:

  • Vite for managing tooling and configurations
  • Material UI for the UI/UX
  • A Simple REST API as backend API, developed and hosted by refine for learning purposes
  • Custom Athentication provided by refine core and refine's Material UI (@refinedev/mui) support packages
