Best Internal Tool Frameworks for ReactJS
In this article, I will talk about new open-source React.js frameworks that will greatly contribute to your project while developing internal-tool applications and make your work easier with their features.
What is Internal Tool?
Internal tools, also known as Backoffice applications, are software pieces developed to improve your corporate processes and make your work easier. Internal tool applications are generally used to control your business follow-up or to manage your product's internal processes.
Internal tools manage the activities your company or product needs, such as tracking inventory, processing customer requests, controlling payments. Although its field is quite wide, the needs of each product or company differ. Here in this article, we will review React.js Frameworks that will help you quickly develop your own internal-tool applications according to your needs.
Internal Tool React.js Frameworks that we will review:
1. Blitz.js
Blitz is a batteries-included is built on Next.js, and features a Zero-API data layer abstraction that eliminates the need for REST/GraphQL. Provides helpful defaults and conventions for things like routing, file structure, and authentication while also being extremely flexible.
Key Features
- The zero-api data layer
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Conventions
- New app templates
Installation
yarn global add blitz
or
npm install -g blitz
For Blitz.js examples, you can take a look at the showcase section. →
2. Refine
refine is a React-based framework for rapid building of internal tools. It's is a a collection of helper hooks, components and providers. They are all decoupled from your UI components and business logic, so they never keep you from customizing your UI or coding your own flow.
refine offers lots of out-of-the box functionality for rapid development, without compromising extreme customizability. Use-cases include, but are not limited to admin panels, B2B applications and dashboards
Key Features
🔥 Headless : Works with any UI framework
⚙️ Zero-configuration : One-line setup with superplate. It takes less than a minute to start a project.
📦 Out-of-the-box : Routing, networking, authentication, state management, i18n and UI.
🔌 Backend Agnostic : Connects to any custom backend. Built-in support for REST API, GraphQL, NestJs CRUD, Airtable, Strapi, Strapi v4, Strapi GraphQL, Supabase, Hasura, Nhost, Appwrite, Firebase, Directus and Altogic.
📝 Native Typescript Core : You can always opt out for plain JavaScript.
🐜 Enterprise UI : Works seamlessly with Ant Design System. (Support for multiple UI frameworks is on the Roadmap)
📝 Boilerplate-free Code : Keeps your codebase clean and readable.
Installation
You can quickly create the project containing refine and all the features you will use with it, thanks to refine's Project Creator CLI (Superplate). No extra setup required!
If you want, you can manually install the refine packages.
npm i @pankod/refine-core @pankod/refine-antd

- Opinionated defaults for formatting, file organization, Webpack, Babel, and more
Installation
yarn create redwood-app my-redwood-app
RedwoodJS Example
4. React Admin
React Admin is a frontend Framework for building data-driven applications running in the browser, on top of REST/GraphQL APIs, using React and Material Design.
Key Features
- Powered by material-ui, redux, react-final-form, react-router and a few more

- Powered by material-ui, redux, react-final-form, react-router and a few more
Installation
npm install react-admin
or
yarn add react-admin
