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.

Swizzle

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

Properties

title

It allows adding title inside 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-mui";

export const ShowPage: React.FC = () => {
    return <Show title="Custom Title">...</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. →

src/app.tsx

import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { Show } from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";

const CustomPage = () => {
    return (
        <Show resource="posts" recordItemId="postId">
            ...
        </Show>
    );
};

export const App: React.FC = () => {
    return (
        <Refine
            routerProvider={{
                ...routerProvider,
                routes: [
                    {
                        element: <CustomPage />,
                        path: "/custom",
                    },
                ],
            }}
            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.

src/pages/posts/show.tsx

import { usePermissions } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { Show } from "@pankod/refine-mui";

export const ShowPage: React.FC = () => {
    const { data } = usePermissions<string>();

    return (
        <Show
            canDelete={data === "admin"}
            canEdit={data === "editor" || data === "admin"}
        >
            ...
        </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).

src/pages/posts/show.tsx

import { useState } from "react";
import { useShow } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { Show, Dialog, ShowButton } from "@pankod/refine-mui";

export const ShowPage: React.FC = () => {
    const [visibleShowDialog, setVisibleShowDialog] = useState<boolean>(false);

    const { queryResult, showId, setShowId } = useShow();
    const { data, isLoading } = queryResult;

    return (
        <>
            <ShowButton
                size="small"
                onClick={() => {
                    setShowId(data?.data.id);
                    setVisibleShowDialog(true);
                }}
            />
            <Dialog
                open={visibleShowDialog}
                onClose={() => setVisibleShowDialog(false)}
            >
                <Show recordItemId={showId} isLoading={isLoading}></Show>
            </Dialog>
        </>
    );
};

note

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

caution

The <Show> component needs the id information for work properly, so if you use the <Show> component in custom pages, you should pass the recordItemId property.

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-mui";
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 }]}
        />
    );
};

import { Show } from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import { useNavigation } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { MyBackButton } from "@components";

    const { goBack } = useNavigation();

    return (
        <Show
            /* ... */
            goBack={<MyBackButton onClick={() => goBack()} />}
            /* ... */
        >
            ...
        </Show>
    );
};

import { Show } from "@pankod/refine-mui";

    const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);

        <Show
            /* ... */
            isLoading={loading}
            /* ... */
        >
            ...
        </Show>
    );
