Inferencer

You can automatically generate views for your resources using @refinedev/inferencer. Inferencer exports HeadlessListInferencer, HeadlessShowInferencer, HeadlessEditInferencer, HeadlessCreateInferencer and HeadlessInferencer (which combines all in one place) components.

Dependencies

@refinedev/inferencer/headless uses @refinedev/react-hook-form and @refinedev/react-table to create views.

Make sure you include them in your dependencies.

Usage

Inferencer components can be imported from @refinedev/inferencer/headless. You can directly use the components in your routes without passing any props. If you use a routerProvider, it will infer the resource, action and id from the current route.

import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import { HeadlessInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/headless";

const App = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
resources={[
{
name: "samples",
list: "/posts",
},
]}
>
<Routes>
<Route path="/posts" element={<HeadlessInferencer />} />
</Routes>
</Refine>
</BrowserRouter>
);
};

Views

List

Generates a sample list view for your resources according to the API response. It uses useTable hook from @refinedev/react-table.

http://localhost:3000/samples
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import { HeadlessInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/headless";

const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}
resources={[
{
name: "samples",
list: "/samples",
show: "/samples/show/:id",
create: "/samples/create",
edit: "/samples/edit/:id",
},
]}
>
<Routes>
{/** highlight-next-line */}
<Route path="/samples" element={<HeadlessInferencer />} />
<Route
path="/samples/create"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route
path="/samples/show/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route
path="/samples/edit/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route path="*" element={<div>Not Found</div>} />
</Routes>
</Refine>
</BrowserRouter>
);
};

Show

Generates a sample show view for your resources according to the API response. It uses useShow hook from @refinedev/core.

http://localhost:3000/samples/show/123
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import { HeadlessInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/headless";

const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}
resources={[
{
name: "samples",
list: "/samples",
show: "/samples/show/:id",
create: "/samples/create",
edit: "/samples/edit/:id",
},
]}
>
<Routes>
<Route path="/samples" element={<HeadlessInferencer />} />
<Route
path="/samples/create"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
{/** highlight-next-line */}
<Route
path="/samples/show/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route
path="/samples/edit/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route path="*" element={<div>Not Found</div>} />
</Routes>
</Refine>
</BrowserRouter>
);
};

Create

Generates a sample create view for your resources according to the first record in list API response. It uses useForm hook from @refinedev/react-hook-form.

http://localhost:3000/samples/create
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import { HeadlessInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/headless";

const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}
resources={[
{
name: "samples",
list: "/samples",
create: "/samples/create",
show: "/samples/show/:id",
edit: "/samples/edit/:id",
},
]}
>
<Routes>
<Route path="/samples" element={<HeadlessInferencer />} />
{/** highlight-next-line */}
<Route
path="/samples/create"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route
path="/samples/show/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route
path="/samples/edit/:id"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}
/>
<Route path="*" element={<div>Not Found</div>} />
</Routes>
</Refine>
</BrowserRouter>
);
};

Edit

Generates a sample edit view for your resources according to the API response. It uses useForm hook from @refinedev/react-hook-form.

http://localhost:3000/samples/edit/123
import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";
import routerProvider from "@refinedev/react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import { HeadlessInferencer } from "@refinedev/inferencer/headless";

const API_URL = "https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";

const App: React.FC = () => {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Refine
routerProvider={routerProvider}
dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}
resources={[
{

list: "/samples",
show: "/samples/show/:id",
create: "/samples/create",
edit: "/samples/edit/:id",

<Route
path="/samples/create"
element={<HeadlessInferencer />}

<Route
