Let's Build an App to Manage Your Hackathons with Refine

We'll be building a demo app to manage hackathons with refine. We'll be able to create new hackathons, new project entries for a hackathon and criterias for a hackathon.

hackathons

We'll use supabase as the backend service. refine comes with a builtin data provider for supabase thus it's very easy to create crud pages.

Creating tablesโ€‹

Our app will have these tables in supabase

  • criterias
  • hackathons
  • hackathoners
  • projects
  • projectscores

These are reflected in our app as

export type HackathonerType = {
id: string;
name: string;
};

export type HackathonType = {
id: string;
start: string;
end: string;
name: string;
};

export type ProjectType = {
id: string;
name: string;
description: string;
url: string;
hackathon_id: string;
hackathoner_id: string;
};

export type CriteriaType = {
id: string;
name: string;
hackathon_id: string;
};

export type ProjectScoreType = {
project_id: string;
criteria_id: string;
score: string;
};

Craeting CRUD pagesโ€‹

Creating crud pages is as easy like this:

List page:

import {
List,
Table,
useTable,
Space,
ShowButton,
EditButton,
TextField,
} from "@pankod/refine";

import dayjs from "dayjs";

import { HackathonType } from "interfaces";

export const HackathonsList: React.FC = () => {
const { tableProps } = useTable<HackathonType>();

return (
<List>
<Table {...tableProps} rowKey="id">
<Table.Column dataIndex="id" title="ID" />
<Table.Column dataIndex="name" title="Name" />
<Table.Column
dataIndex="start"
title="Starts"
render={(value) => (
<TextField value={dayjs(value).format("DD/MMMM dddd")} />
)}
/>
<Table.Column
dataIndex="end"
title="Ends"
render={(value) => (
<TextField value={dayjs(value).format("DD/MMMM dddd")} />
)}
/>
<Table.Column
title="Actions"
dataIndex="actions"
render={(_text, record: HackathonType): React.ReactNode => {
return (
<Space>
<ShowButton size="small" recordItemId={record.id} hideText />
<EditButton size="small" recordItemId={record.id} hideText />
</Space>
);
}}
/>
</Table>
</List>
);
};

Create page:โ€‹

import { Create, Form, Input, useForm, DatePicker } from "@pankod/refine";

import { HackathonType } from "interfaces";

export const HackathonsCreate: React.FC = () => {
const { formProps, saveButtonProps } = useForm<HackathonType>();

return (
<Create saveButtonProps={saveButtonProps}>
<Form {...formProps} layout="vertical">
<Form.Item label="Name" name="name">
<Input />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Name" name="start">
<DatePicker />
</Form.Item>
<Form.Item label="Name" name="end">
<DatePicker />
</Form.Item>
</Form>
</Create>
);
};

Then use these pages as the corresponding crud component for the hackathon resource:

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

import "@pankod/refine/dist/styles.min.css";
import { dataProvider } from "@pankod/refine-supabase";
import { supabaseClient } from "utility";
import {
HackathonsList,
HackathonsCreate,
HackathonsEdit,
HackathonsShow,
} from "./pages/hackathons";

function App() {
return (
<Refine
dataProvider={dataProvider(supabaseClient)}
resources={[{
name: "hackathons",
list: HackathonsList,
create: HackathonsCreate,
edit: HackathonsEdit,
show: HackathonsShow
}]}
/>
);
}

export default App;

create

refine comes with builtin hooks for Ant design components. You can find detailed usage for the hooks and supabase in the documentation

Creating voting pageโ€‹

We'll use the dashboard option to place voting page. We'll need data from different resources. refine comes with powerful hooks that are based on react-query to get data from those resources.

For example to get the hackathons that are active now we can use the useList hook:

export const DashboardPage: React.FC = () => {
const currentHackathons = useList<HackathonType>({
resource: "hackathons",
config: {
filters: [
{
field: "start",
operator: "lte",
value: now,
},
{
field: "end",
operator: "gte",
value: now,
},
],
},
});
}

Live Codesandbox Exampleโ€‹

We can get data from other resources in a similar fashion. You can find the repo here

Conclusionโ€‹

This project itself is a product of a hackathon. It lacks lots of feature like authorization though it shows how refine makes it easy to quickly build a working app.
