WP Refine Plugin

⚡Features⚡

1. Easy to Use
   Git clone this repository in wp-content/plugins/ and npm run bootstrap, npm run dev, that's all the steps

2. Integrate with WordPress RestFul API
   By default, the API_URL would be {site_url}/wp-json} which is set in inc/admin.php

3. CRUD utility function
   Default with getPost Example, check more utilities in Refine

4. Integrate with JWT
   We use usefulteam/jwt-auth in composer, every time a WordPress user logged in, he will get JWT (for call API, if the user has enough capability) automatically.

5. HMR (Hot Module Reload) for PHP
   By using vite-plugin-live-reload, the page will auto reload while PHP files changed

6. Multi-React-App in one plugin
   By default, we render 2 React App, 1 is for front-end page, and 1 is for admin page. You can add more React App in js/src/main.tsx

Before getting start

Tech stacks (knowledge you need to have)

Front-end

1. Vite - build tool
2. Refine - React Admin Framework with lots of useful utilities
3. React v18
4. TypeScript - compile project with type safe
5. Tailwind v3 - you can install any UI library, like Ant Design, MUI, Chakra...etc
6. SCSS
7. React Query v4 - managing API status
8. React Router v6 - front-end router, we use #️⃣hash router by default which is compatible with WordPress's router

Back-end
