Refine router

Hi! Is there any chance to run refine without router(or with react-router-v5) but still use Inferencer? I couldn't find a solution and when I remove the router everything stops working. Thanks!

Hi @idanhazan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Refine is designed to work with react-router-v6 and it's a crucial part of its architecture. The Inferencer components also rely on this router version to infer the resource, action, and id from the current route. Therefore, running Refine without a router or with react-router-v5 is not supported and may lead to unexpected behavior or errors. However, you can still use Inferencer components by passing explicit props to them. Here's an example:

import { AntdInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/antd";  
  
const SampleList = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleShow = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="show" id="1" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleCreate = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="create" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleEdit = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="edit" id="1" />  
 );  
};

import { AntdInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/antd";  
  
const SampleList = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleShow = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="show" id="1" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleCreate = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="create" />  
 );  
};  
  
const SampleEdit = () => {  
 return (  
 <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="edit" id="1" />  
 );  
};

In this example, the resource, action, and id are explicitly provided to the Inferencer component, so it doesn't need to infer them from the route. For more information, you can refer to the Inferencer documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/list-of-packages/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Can you provide a router code using this approach?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Sure, here's an example of how you can use the Inferencer components with explicit props in a router setup:

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import { AntdInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/antd";

const SampleList = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />
  );
};

const SampleShow = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="show" id="1" />
  );
};

const SampleCreate = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="create" />
  );
};

const SampleEdit = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="edit" id="1" />
  );
};

const App = () => {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/samples" element={<SampleList />} />
        <Route path="/samples/show" element={<SampleShow />} />
        <Route path="/samples/create" element={<SampleCreate />} />
        <Route path="/samples/edit" element={<SampleEdit />} />
      </Routes>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";
import { AntdInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/antd";

const SampleList = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="list" />
  );
};

const SampleShow = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="show" id="1" />
  );
};

const SampleCreate = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="create" />
  );
};

const SampleEdit = () => {
  return (
    <AntdInferencer resource="samples" action="edit" id="1" />
  );
};

const App = () => {
  return (
    <BrowserRouter>
      <Routes>
        <Route path="/samples" element={<SampleList />} />
        <Route path="/samples/show" element={<SampleShow />} />
        <Route path="/samples/create" element={<SampleCreate />} />
        <Route path="/samples/edit" element={<SampleEdit />} />
      </Routes>
    </BrowserRouter>
  );
};

In this example, each route is associated with a different action on the "samples" resource. The resource, action, and id are explicitly provided to the AntdInferencer component in each route, so it doesn't need to infer them from the route. Please note that this is a simplified example and your actual app might require a more complex setup. For more information, you can refer to the Inferencer documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/list-of-packages/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Do we need a routerProvider?

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The routerProvider in Refine is optional but recommended to get the most out of Refine. It provides a simple interface to infer the resource from the route, pass, parse and sync the query parameters, and handle navigation operations. Refine has built-in router integrations for libraries like React Router v6, Next.js, Remix, and Expo Router (React Native). You can also create custom router bindings for your routing needs. If you don't provide a routerProvider, some features of Refine like automatic redirections after CRUD operations, rendering menu items, inferring hook parameters, and more might not work as expected. Here's an example of how you can pass a routerProvider to Refine:

import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine";
import { reactRouterV6 } from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";

<Refine routerProvider={reactRouterV6()} dataProvider={myDataProvider} />;

import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine";
import { reactRouterV6 } from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";

<Refine routerProvider={reactRouterV6()} dataProvider={myDataProvider} />;

For more information, you can refer to the Router Provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/router-provider/). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I need router v5

kapa.ai•7mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Refine's v4 release supports the legacy router provider implementations until v5 comes out. The legacy router provider implementation for React Router V5 is still available and can be used. You can pass the legacy router provider to the <Refine /> component using the legacyRouterProvider prop. Here's an example of how you can use the legacy router provider with React Router V5:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router";  
  
const App: React.FC = () => {  
 return <Refine legacyRouterProvider={routerProvider} />;  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router";  
  
const App: React.FC = () => {  
 return <Refine legacyRouterProvider={routerProvider} />;  
};

Please note that it's recommended to migrate to the new router providers as the legacy ones will be removed in the next major version of Refine. You can refer to the Router Provider documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/router-provider/) for more information. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
