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.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show, MarkdownField } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Typography } from "antd";
import { useShow, useOne } from "@refinedev/core";

const { Title, Text } = Typography;

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    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".

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/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. If you want to use a custom resource for the <Show> component, you can use the resource prop.

http://localhost:3000/custom/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

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.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { usePermissions } from "@refinedev/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. →

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/posts/show/2
import { Show, useModalForm } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Modal, Button } from "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 "@refinedev/core";
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";

import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";

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

export const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Refine
            dataProvider={{
                default: dataProvider("https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev/"),
                other: dataProvider("https://other-api.fake-rest.refine.dev/"),
            }}
        >
            {/* ... */}
        </Refine>
    );
};

goBack​

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

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    const BackButton = () => <Button>←</Button>;
    return (
        <Show goBack={<div>back</div>}>
            <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/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/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 @refinedev/antd package.

Refer to the Breadcrumb documentation for detailed usage. →

tip

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

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show, Breadcrumb } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            breadcrumb={
                <div
                    style={{
                        padding: "3px 6px",
                        border: "2px dashed cornflowerblue",
                    }}
                >
                    <Breadcrumb />
                </div>
            }
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};

wrapperProps​

If you want to customize the wrapper of the <Show/> component, you can use the wrapperProps property. For @refinedev/antd wrapper elements are simple <div/>s and wrapperProps can get every attribute that <div/> can get.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            wrapperProps={{
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};

headerProps​

If you want to customize the header of the <Show/> component, you can use the headerProps property.

Refer to the PageHeader documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            headerProps={{
                subTitle: "This is a subtitle",
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};

contentProps​

If you want to customize the content of the <Show/> component, you can use the contentProps property.

Refer to the Card documentation from Ant Design for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            contentProps={{
                style: {
                    backgroundColor: "cornflowerblue",
                    padding: "16px",
                },
            }}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};

headerButtons​

By default, the <Show/> component has a <ListButton>, <EditButton>, <DeleteButton>, and, <RefreshButton> at the header.

You can customize the buttons at the header by using the headerButtons property. It accepts React.ReactNode or a render function ({ defaultButtons, listButtonProps, editButtonProps, deleteButtonProps, refreshButtonProps }) => React.ReactNode which you can use to keep the existing buttons and add your own.

caution

If "list" resource is not defined, the <ListButton> will not render and listButtonProps will be undefined.

If canDelete is false, the <DeleteButton> will not render and deleteButtonProps will be undefined.

If canEdit is false, <EditButton> will not render and editButtonProps will be undefined.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import { Show } from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            headerButtons={({ defaultButtons }) => (
                <>
                    {defaultButtons}
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};

Or, instead of using the defaultButtons, you can create your own buttons. If you want, you can use createButtonProps to utilize the default values of the <ListButton>, <EditButton>, <DeleteButton>, and, <RefreshButton> components.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/2
import {
    Show,
    ListButton,
    EditButton,
    DeleteButton,
    RefreshButton,
} from "@refinedev/antd";
import { Button } from "antd";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            headerButtons={({
                deleteButtonProps,
                editButtonProps,
                listButtonProps,
                refreshButtonProps,
            }) => (
                <>
                    <Button type="primary">Custom Button</Button>
                    {listButtonProps && (
                        <ListButton
                            {...listButtonProps}
                            meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                        />
                    )}
                    {editButtonProps && (
                        <EditButton
                            {...editButtonProps}
                            meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                        />
                    )}
                    {deleteButtonProps && (
                        <DeleteButton
                            {...deleteButtonProps}
                            meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                        />
                    )}
                    <RefreshButton
                        {...refreshButtonProps}
                        meta={{ foo: "bar" }}
                    />
                </>
            )}
        >
            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
        </Show>
    );
};
