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/123
import { useShow, useOne } from "@refinedev/core";
import { Show, MarkdownField } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import { Heading, Text, Spacer } from "@chakra-ui/react";

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

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

    return (
        <Show isLoading={isLoading}>
            <Heading as="h5" size="sm">
                Id
            </Heading>
            <Text mt={2}>{record?.id}</Text>

            <Heading as="h5" size="sm" mt={4}>
                Title
            </Heading>
            <Text mt={2}>{record?.title}</Text>

            <Heading as="h5" size="sm" mt={4}>
                Status
            </Heading>
            <Text mt={2}>{record?.status}</Text>

            <Heading as="h5" size="sm" mt={4}>
                Category
            </Heading>
            <Text mt={2}>{categoryData?.data?.title}</Text>

            <Heading as="h5" size="sm" mt={4}>
                Content
            </Heading>
            <Spacer mt={2} />
            <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/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import { Heading } from "@chakra-ui/react";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show title={<Heading size="lg">Custom Title</Heading>}>
            <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/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";

const CustomPage: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show resource="categories">
            <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/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
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/123
import { useModalForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import {
    Modal,
    Button,
    ModalOverlay,
    ModalContent,
    ModalCloseButton,
    ModalHeader,
    ModalBody,
} from "@chakra-ui/react";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    const {
        modal: { visible, close, show },
        id,
    } = useModalForm({
        refineCoreProps: { action: "show" },
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <Button onClick={() => show()}>Edit Button</Button>
            <Modal isOpen={visible} onClose={close} size="xl">
                <ModalOverlay />
                <ModalContent>
                    <ModalCloseButton />
                    <ModalHeader>Show</ModalHeader>

                    <ModalBody>
                        <Show recordItemId={id}>
                            <p>Rest of your page here</p>
                        </Show>
                    </ModalBody>
                </ModalContent>
            </Modal>
        </div>
    );
};
note

The <Edit> component needs the id information for the <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/chakra-ui";

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. You can pass false or null to hide the back button.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import { IconMoodSmile } from "@tabler/icons";

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

isLoading​

To toggle the loading state of the <Edit/> component, you can use the isLoading property.

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";

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/chakra-ui 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/123
import { Show, Breadcrumb } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";
import { Box } from "@chakra-ui/react";

const CustomBreadcrumb: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Box borderColor="blue" borderStyle="dashed" borderWidth="2px">
            <Breadcrumb />
        </Box>
    );
};

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Show
            breadcrumb={<CustomBreadcrumb />}
        >
            <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/chakra-ui wrapper element is <Box>s and wrapperProps can get every attribute that <Card> can get.

Refer to the Box documentation from Chakra UI for detailed usage. →

http://localhost:3000/posts/show/123
import { Show } from "@refinedev/chakra-ui";

                borderStyle: "dashed",
                borderWidth: "2px",
                p: "2",
            }}
