Imagine walking into an ice cream shop and placing an order. You'd want to see exactly what you ordered, right? Maybe check if you remembered to add those strawberries, or confirm the size you picked. That's exactly what detailed views do in our application - they give customers a complete, beautiful summary of their order that they can access anytime with just a click.

Think of it like the difference between an order ticket and a detailed receipt. The summary card is like a stub - it shows the basics so you can identify the order. But the detailed view is like the full receipt that shows everything: every topping you chose, when you placed the order, and whether it's ready to pick up. It's the complete story of your ice cream order!

In Akan.js, showing detailed views follows a clean architecture pattern. We use three main components that work together:

This separation allows each component to have a single responsibility: the wrapper handles clicking, the modal handles the popup behavior, and the view handles the display formatting.

Now let's add a View/Edit modal to our ice cream order page. This creates a popup window where customers can see all their order details in an organized format. The modal functions like a detailed receipt that appears when customers want to review their order information.

This code creates a modal system that handles the display and editing of orders. Let's examine what each part does:

The ViewEditModal component handles opening, closing, data loading, and content display automatically. You specify what content to show, and it manages the technical implementation. This approach allows you to add detailed views throughout your application with minimal code.

Now let's add a "View" button to each order card. This button provides a clear interface element that customers can click to access detailed order information. The button will be positioned and styled to integrate with the existing card design.

The key addition here is the ViewWrapper around the button:

Now let's create the detailed view component in View.tsx that displays all the ice cream order information in a structured layout. This component will organize and present the order data in a readable format when the modal opens.

This detailed view component creates a comprehensive display of the ice cream order:

Let's test the detailed view implementation. Navigate to your ice cream order page and click the "View" button on any order card to verify that the system works correctly.

A modal popup should appear displaying all order details: size, toppings (as colored badges), status (with conditional colors), and timestamps. The modal closes when you click outside it or press the X button.

Here are some important best practices to follow when creating detail views in Akan.js:

You have successfully implemented detailed views for your ice cream orders. Customers can now click on any order to see all the specifics in an organized format. The modal system provides a clean interface for viewing order information.

In the next tutorial, we'll add status management functionality that allows shop staff to update orders from "active" to "processing" to "served". This will complete the order workflow system and provide full lifecycle management for ice cream orders.
