Show

<Show> provides us a layout for displaying the page. It does not contain any logic but adds extra functionalities like a refresh button or giving title to the page.

We will show what <Show> does using properties with examples.

import { Show, Typography, MarkdownField } from '@pankod/refine-antd'
import { useShow, IResourceComponentsProps, useOne } from '@pankod/refine-core'

const { Title, Text } = Typography

const PostShow: React.FC<IResourceComponentsProps> = () => {
  const { queryResult } = useShow<IPost>()
  const { data, isLoading } = queryResult
  const record = data?.data

  const { data: categoryData, isLoading: categoryIsLoading } =
    useOne<ICategory>({
      resource: 'categories',
      id: record?.category.id || '',
      queryOptions: {
        enabled: !!record,
      },
    })

  return (
    <Show isLoading={isLoading}>
      <Title level={5}>Id</Title>
      <Text>{record?.id}</Text>

      <Title level={5}>Title</Title>
      <Text>{record?.title}</Text>

      <Title level={5}>Category</Title>
      <Text>{categoryIsLoading ? 'Loading...' : categoryData?.data.title}</Text>

      <Title level={5}>Content</Title>
      <MarkdownField value={record?.content} />
    </Show>
  )
}
Swizzle

You can swizzle this component to customize it with the refine CLI

Properties​

title​

It allows adding a title for the <Show> component. if you don't pass title props it uses the "Show" prefix and the singular resource name by default. For example, for the "posts" resource, it will be "Show post".

import { Show } from '@pankod/refine-antd'

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show title="Custom Title">
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}

resource​

The <Show> component reads the resource information from the route by default. This default behavior will not work on custom pages. If you want to use the <Show> component in a custom page, you can use the resource property.

Refer to the custom pages documentation for detailed usage. &#8594

http://localhost:3000
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Refine } from '@pankod/refine-core'
import { Show } from '@pankod/refine-antd'
import routerProvider from '@pankod/refine-react-router-v6'
import dataProvider from '@pankod/refine-simple-rest'

const CustomPage: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show resource="posts">
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
      routerProvider={{
        ...routerProvider,
        routes: [
          {
            element: <CustomPage />,
            path: '/custom/:id',
          },
        ],
      }}
      dataProvider={dataProvider('https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev')}
      resources={[{ name: 'posts' }]}
    />
  )
}

canDelete and canEdit​

canDelete and canEdit allows us to add the delete and edit buttons inside the <Show> component. If the resource has canDelete or canEdit property refine adds the buttons by default.

When clicked on, delete button executes the useDelete method provided by the dataProvider and the edit button redirects the user to the record edit page.

Refer to the <DeleteButton> and the <EditButton> documentation for detailed usage.

import { Show } from '@pankod/refine-antd'
import { usePermissions } from '@pankod/refine-core'

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  const { data: permissionsData } = usePermissions()
  return (
    <Show
      canDelete={permissionsData?.includes('admin')}
      canEdit={permissionsData?.includes('admin')}
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}

Refer to the usePermission documentation for detailed usage. &#8594

recordItemId​

<Show> component reads the id information from the route by default. recordItemId is used when it cannot read from the URL (when used on a custom page, modal or drawer).

http://localhost:3000
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Show, useModalForm, Modal, Button } from '@pankod/refine-antd'

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  const { modalProps, id, show } = useModalForm({
    action: 'show',
  })

  return (
    <div>
      <Button onClick={() => show()}>Show Button</Button>
      <Modal {...modalProps}>
        <Show recordItemId={id}>
          <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
      </Modal>
    </div>
  )
}
note

<Show> component needs the id information for <RefreshButton> to work properly.

dataProviderName​

If not specified, Refine will use the default data provider. If you have multiple data providers and want to use a different one, you can use the dataProviderName property.

import { Refine } from '@pankod/refine-core'
import { Show } from '@pankod/refine-antd'
import routerProvider from '@pankod/refine-react-router-v6'
import dataProvider from '@pankod/refine-simple-rest'

const PostShow = () => {
  return <Show dataProviderName="other">...</Show>
}

export const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Refine
      routerProvider={routerProvider}
      dataProvider={{
        default: dataProvider('https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev/'),
        other: dataProvider('https://other-api.fake-rest.refine.dev/'),
      }}
      resources={[{ name: 'posts', show: PostShow }]}
    />
  )
}

goBack​

To customize the back button or to disable it, you can use the goBack property.

http://localhost:3000
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Show, Icons } from '@pankod/refine-antd'

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show goBack={<Icons.SmileOutlined />}>
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}

isLoading​

Since <Show> uses the Ant Design <Card> component, the isLoading property can be set like the below.

http://localhost:3000
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Show } from '@pankod/refine-antd'

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show isLoading={true}>
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}

To customize or disable the breadcrumb, you can use the breadcrumb property. By default it uses the Breadcrumb component from @pankod/refine-antd package.

Refer to the Breadcrumb documentation for detailed usage. &#8594

tip

This feature can be managed globally via the <Refine> component's options

http://localhost:3000

            padding: '3px 6px',
            border: '2px dashed cornflowerblue',
          }}
        >
          <Breadcrumb />
        </div>
      }
    >
      <p>Rest of your page here</p>
    </Show>
  )
}
