Do you want to develop a web application quickly? You are at the right place! I will develop a simple movie web application with refine on the frontend and Supabase on the backend, you should continue reading. I will try to explain it step by step in a very simple way.

1. Refine setup

There are two alternative methods to set up a refine application.

The recommended way is using the superplate tool. superplate's CLI wizard will let you create and customize your application in seconds.

Alternatively, you may use the create-react-app tool to create an empty React application and then add refine module via npm.

I will use superplate-cli and select a Supabase. You can customize other options as you wish.

2. Create admin panel with refine

We should add our Supabase url and key in supabaseClient.tsx
Add custom login page in App.tsx

App.tsx



import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine";

import "@pankod/refine/dist/styles.min.css";
import { dataProvider } from "@pankod/refine-supabase";

import authProvider from "./authProvider";
import { supabaseClient } from "utility";
import { Login } from "./pages/login";

function App() {
  return (
    <Refine
      dataProvider={dataProvider(supabaseClient)}
      authProvider={authProvider}
      LoginPage={Login}
    ></Refine>
  );
}

export default App;

Login page




import React from "react";
import {
  Row,
  Col,
  AntdLayout,
  Card,
  Typography,
  Form,
  Input,
  Button,
  Checkbox,
} from "@pankod/refine";
import "./styles.css";

import { useLogin } from "@pankod/refine";

const { Text, Title } = Typography;

export interface ILoginForm {
  username: string;
  password: string;
  remember: boolean;
}

export const Login: React.FC = () => {
  const [form] = Form.useForm<ILoginForm>();

  const { mutate: login } = useLogin<ILoginForm>();

  const CardTitle = (
    <Title level={3} className="title">
      Sign in your account
    </Title>
  );

  return (

  }

  .imageContainer {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    margin-bottom: 16px;
  }

You can use default user for login.

Create movies list page with add a resource in App.tsx



import { Refine, Resource } from "@pankod/refine";

import "@pankod/refine/dist/styles.min.css";
import { dataProvider } from "@pankod/refine-supabase";

import authProvider from "./authProvider";
import { supabaseClient } from "utility";

import {
  AdminMovieList,
} from "./pages/admin/movies";
import { Login } from "./pages/login";

function App() {
  return (
    <Refine
      dataProvider={dataProvider(supabaseClient)}
      authProvider={authProvider}
      LoginPage={Login}

    >
      <Resource
        name="movies"
        list={AdminMovieList}
        options={{
          route: "admin/movies",
        }}
      />
    </Refine>
  );
}

export default App;

AdminMovieList page ```tsx

import {
List,
Table,
useTable,
IResourceComponentsProps,
Space,
EditButton,
ShowButton,
getDefaultSortOrder,
CreateButton,
DeleteButton,
} from "@pankod/refine";

import { IMovies } from "interfaces";

export const AdminMovieList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps, sorter } = useTable({
initialSorter: [
{
field: "id",
order: "asc",
},
],
});

return (
}}>

key="id"
dataIndex="id"
title="ID"
sorter
defaultSortOrder={getDefaultSortOrder("id", sorter)}
/>

    <Table.Column<IMovies>
      title="Actions"
      dataIndex="actions"
      render={(_, record) => (
        <Space>
          <EditButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
          <ShowButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
          <DeleteButton hideText size="small" recordItemId={record.id} />
        </Space>
      )}
    />
  </Table>
</List>

);
};


* Movies interface
```tsx


export interface IMovies {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  preload: string;
  director: string;
  stars: string;
  premiere: string;
  trailer: string;
  images: IFile[];
}

Now we will add create page



      <Resource
        name="movies"
        list={AdminMovieList}
        create={AdminMovieCreate}
        options={{
          route: "admin/movies",
        }}
      />



import {
  Create,
  Form,
  Input,
  IResourceComponentsProps,
  Upload,
  useForm,
  RcFile,
} from "@pankod/refine";
import { IMovies } from "interfaces";
import { supabaseClient, normalizeFile } from "utility";

export const AdminMovieCreate: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
  const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<IMovies>();

  return (
    <Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
      <Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
        <Form.Item
          label="Name"
          name="name"
          rules={[
            {
              required: true,
            },
          ]}
        >
          <Input />
        </Form.Item>
        <Form.Item label="Premiere" name="premiere">
          <Input />
        </Form.Item>
        <Form.Item label="Description" name="description">
          <Input />
        </Form.Item>
        <Form.Item label="Director" name="director">
          <Input />
        </Form.Item>
        <Form.Item label="Stars" name="stars">
          <Input />
        </Form.Item>

        <Form.Item label="Images">
          <Form.Item
            name="images"
            valuePropName="fileList"
            normalize={normalizeFile}
            noStyle
          >
            <Upload.Dragger
              name="file"
              listType="picture"
              multiple
              customRequest={async ({ file, onError, onSuccess }) => {
                try {
                  const rcFile = file as RcFile;

                  await supabaseClient.storage
                    .from("refineflix")
                    .upload(`public/${rcFile.name}`, file, {
                      cacheControl: "3600",
                      upsert: true,
                    });

                  const { data } = supabaseClient.storage
                    .from("refineflix")
                    .getPublicUrl(`public/${rcFile.name}`);

                  const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
                  onSuccess && onSuccess({ url: data?.publicURL }, xhr);
                } catch (error) {
                  onError && onError(new Error("Upload Error"));
                }
              }}
            >
              <p className="ant-upload-text">Drag & drop a file in this area</p>
            </Upload.Dragger>
          </Form.Item>
        </Form.Item>
      </Form>
    </Create>
  );
};

normalize file in utility folder



import { UploadFile } from "@pankod/refine";

interface UploadResponse {
    url: string;
}
interface EventArgs<T = UploadResponse> {
    file: UploadFile<T>;
    fileList: Array<UploadFile<T>>;
}

export const normalizeFile = (event: EventArgs) => {
    const { fileList } = event;

    return fileList.map((item) => {
        const { uid, name, type, size, response, percent, status } = item;

        return {
            uid,
            name,
            url: item.url || response?.url,
            type,
            size,
            percent,
            status,
        };
    });
};

                  const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
                  onSuccess && onSuccess({ url: data?.publicURL }, xhr);
                } catch (error) {

Show page



import {

  Space,
  ImageField,
  RefreshButton,
  EditButton,

Final version of our <Resource>.



      <Resource
        name="movies"
        list={AdminMovieList}
        create={AdminMovieCreate}
        show={AdminMovieShow}
        edit={AdminMovieEdit}
        options={{
          route: "admin/movies",
        }}
      />

3. Create list page for movies

We will create custom list and show pages for the unauthorized users because of that, we should add custom routes for these pages.

App.tsx



import { Refine, Resource } from "@pankod/refine";

import "@pankod/refine/dist/styles.min.css";
import { dataProvider } from "@pankod/refine-supabase";

import authProvider from "./authProvider";
import { supabaseClient } from "utility";

import {
  AdminMovieList,
  AdminMovieCreate,
  AdminMovieShow,
  AdminMovieEdit,
} from "./pages/admin/movies";
import { MoviesList, MovieShow } from "./pages/movies";
import { Login } from "./pages/login";

function App() {
  return (
    <Refine
      dataProvider={dataProvider(supabaseClient)}
      authProvider={authProvider}
      LoginPage={Login}
      routes={[
        {
          exact: true,
          component: MoviesList,
          path: "/movies",
        },
        {
          exact: true,
          component: MovieShow,
          path: "/:resource(movies)/:action(show)/:id",
        },
      ]}
    >
      <Resource
        name="movies"
        list={AdminMovieList}
        create={AdminMovieCreate}
        show={AdminMovieShow}
        edit={AdminMovieEdit}
        options={{
          route: "admin/movies",
        }}
      />
    </Refine>
  );
}

export default App;

Movies list page



import {
  IResourceComponentsProps,
  Card,
  Space,
  useList,
  useNavigation,
} from "@pankod/refine";
import { Layout } from "components";

import { IMovies } from "interfaces";

export const MoviesList: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
  const { Meta } = Card;

  const { data, isLoading } = useList<IMovies>({
    resource: "movies",
    queryOptions: {
      staleTime: 0,
    },
  });

  const { push } = useNavigation();

  const renderMovies = () => {
    if (data) {
      return data.data.map((movie) => {
        return (
          <Card
            hoverable
