Hi @pedrofontes. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To add persistence to your Refine CRM app example and integrate a database, you can follow these steps:
1. Setting Up a Database with Supabase
Supabase is a good choice for adding a PostgreSQL database to your Refine CRM app. Here’s how you can set it up:
#### Step 1: Create a Supabase Account
- Sign up at Supabase (https://app.supabase.com/).
- Log in to your developer account.
#### Step 2: Create a PostgreSQL Server
- Go to your organization's dashboard in Supabase.
- Create a new project (server) with an appropriate name, for example,
refine-crm
.
#### Step 3: Create Necessary Tables
- Use the Supabase dashboard to create tables and define relationships according to your CRM app's requirements.
#### Step 4: Get API Keys
- Obtain the API keys provided by Supabase for your server.
#### Step 5: Set Up supabaseClient
in Your Refine Project
- Install the Supabase client in your Refine project:
- Initialize the Supabase client in your project:
For detailed steps, you can follow the Supabase Quickstart Guide (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/with-react#create-a-project).
2. Integrating Supabase with Refine
Once you have your Supabase setup, you need to integrate it with your Refine CRM app:
#### Step 1: Configure Data Provider
- Refine supports various data providers. You can configure a custom data provider to use Supabase.
#### Step 2: Update Your Refine App
- Modify your Refine app to use the Supabase data provider for CRUD operations.
Here is an example of how you might set up a data provider for Supabase:
3. Using the Data Provider in Refine
Finally, use the custom data provider in your Refine app:
By following these steps, you can add persistence to your Refine CRM app and integrate it with a Supabase database.
For more information, you can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/) and the Supabase documentation (https://supabase.com/docs/).

@kapa.ai just that? I don't need to refactor all routes and controllers?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

To integrate a database and add persistence to your Refine CRM app, you will need to make some changes, but you don't necessarily need to refactor all routes and controllers. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
1. Setting Up a Database with Supabase
#### Step 1: Create a Supabase Account
- Sign up at Supabase (https://app.supabase.com/).
- Log in to your developer account.
#### Step 2: Create a PostgreSQL Server

Additional Considerations
- Routes and Controllers: If your current routes and controllers are tightly coupled with the in-memory data, you might need to refactor them to use the new data provider. However, if they are abstracted well, you might only need to change the data fetching logic.
- Authentication: If your app uses authentication, you might also need to integrate Supabase authentication. You can refer to the Supabase Authentication with Refine (https://refine.dev/blog/refine-pixels-3/#email-authentication-with-supabase-in-refine)
