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.

localhost:3000/posts/show/123
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import React from "react";
import { useShow, useOne } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import {
  Show,
  Stack,
  Typography,
  NumberField,
  TextFieldComponent as TextField,
  MarkdownField,
  DateField,
} from "@pankod/refine-mui";

const SampleShow = () => {
  const { queryResult } = useShow();
  const { data, isLoading } = queryResult;

  const record = data?.data;

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

  return (
    <Show isLoading={isLoading}>
      <Stack gap={1}>
        <Typography variant="body1" fontWeight="bold">

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".

localhost:3000/posts/create
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Show, Typography } from "@pankod/refine-mui";

const ShowPage: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show
      title={<Typography variant="h5">Custom Title</Typography>}
    >
      <span>Rest of your page here</span>
    </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. →

localhost:3000/custom
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { Show, Layout } from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";

const CustomPage: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Show resource="posts" recordItemId={123}>
      <span>Rest of your page here</span>
    </Show>
  );
};

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

localhost:3000/posts/show/123
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Show } from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import { usePermissions } from "@pankod/refine-core";

const PostShow: React.FC = () => {
  const { data: permissionsData } = usePermissions();
  return (
    <Show
      canDelete={permissionsData?.includes("admin")}
      canEdit={
        permissionsData?.includes("editor") ||
        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).

localhost:3000/custom
Live previews only work with the latest documentation.
import { Refine } from "@pankod/refine-core";
import { List, Layout } from "@pankod/refine-mui";
import routerProvider from "@pankod/refine-react-router-v6";
import dataProvider from "@pankod/refine-simple-rest";

const CustomPage: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <List resource="posts" recordItemId={123}>
      <span>Rest of your page here</span>
    </List>
  );
};

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