title: Creating Custom Previews

The Static CMS exposes a `window.CMS` global object that you can use to register custom previews for an entire collection (or file within a file collection) via `registerPreviewTemplate` (editor view) and `registerPreviewCard` / `registerFieldPreview` (collection view).
### React Components Inline
`registerPreviewTemplate`, `registerPreviewCard` and `registerFieldPreview` require you to provide a React component. If you have a build process in place for your project, it is possible to integrate with this build process.
However, although possible, it may be cumbersome or even impractical to add a React build phase. For this reason, Static CMS exposes some constructs globally to allow you to create components inline: `h` (alias for React.createElement) as well some basic hooks (`useState`, `useMemo`, `useEffect`, `useCallback`).
## Editor Preview
`registerPreviewTemplate` allows you to create a template that overrides the entire editor preview for a given collection.
### Params
| Param | Type | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| name | string | The name of the collection (or file for file collections) which this preview component will be used for<br /><ul><li>Folder collections: Use the name of the collection</li><li>File collections: Use the name of the file</li></ul> |
| react_component | [React Function Component](https://reactjs.org/docs/components-and-props.html) | A React functional component that renders the collection data. |
The following parameters will be passed to your `react_component` during render:
| Param | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| entry | object | Object with a `data` field that contains the current value of all widgets in the editor |
| collection | object | Collection configuration |
| fields | object | The fields for the given collection |
| document | Document | The document object the preview is within. If rendered with a frame, it will be the frame's document |
| window | Window | The window object the preview is within. If rendered with a frame, it will be the frame's window |
| widgetFor | Function | Given a field name, returns the rendered preview of that field's widget and value |
| widgetsFor | Function | Given a field name, returns the rendered previews of that field's nested child widgets and values |
| theme | 'light'<br />\| 'dark' | The current theme being used by the app |
#### Example
<CodeTabs>
```js
const PostPreview = ({ widgetFor, entry, collection, fields }) => {
const imageField = useMemo(() => fields.find(field => field.name === 'image'), [fields]);
const imageUrl = useMediaAsset(entry.data.image, collection, imageField, entry);
return h(
'div',
{},
h('h1', {}, entry.data.title),
h('img', { src: imageUrl }),
h('div', { className: 'text' }, widgetFor('body')),
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('posts', PostPreview);
```
```jsx
import CMS, { useMediaAsset } from '@staticcms/core';
const PostPreview = ({ widgetFor, entry, collection, fields }) => {
const imageField = useMemo(() => fields.find(field => field.name === 'image'), [fields]);
const imageUrl = useMediaAsset(entry.data.image, collection, imageField, entry);
return (
<div>
<h1>{entry.data.title}</h1>
<img src={imageUrl} />
<div className="text">{widgetFor('body')}</div>
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('posts', PostPreview);
```
```tsx
import CMS, { useMediaAsset } from '@staticcms/core';
import type { TemplatePreviewProps } from '@staticcms/core';
/**
* The type for 'entry.data'
*/
interface Post {
image: string;
title: string;
body: string;
}
const PostPreview = ({ widgetFor, entry, collection, fields }: TemplatePreviewProps<Post>) => {
const imageField = useMemo(() => fields.find(field => field.name === 'image'), [fields]);
const imageUrl = useMediaAsset(entry.data.image, collection, imageField, entry);
return (
<div>
<h1>{entry.data.title}</h1>
<img src={imageUrl} />
<div className="text">{widgetFor('body')}</div>
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('posts', PostPreview);
```
</CodeTabs>
#### Lists and Objects
The API for accessing the individual fields of list- and object-type entries is similar to the API for accessing fields in standard entries, but there are a few key differences. Access to these nested fields is facilitated through the `widgetsFor` function, which is passed to the preview template component during render.
##### List Template Example
For list fields, the widgetFor function returns an array of objects that you can map over in your template. If your field is a list of authors containing two entries, with fields `name` and `description`, the return value of `widgetsFor` would look like this:
```js
[{
data: { title: 'Mathias', description: 'Co-Founder'},
widgets: { title: <WidgetComponent>, description: <WidgetComponent>}
},
{
data: { title: 'Chris', description: 'Co-Founder'},
widgets: { title: <WidgetComponent>, description: <WidgetComponent>}
}]
```
<CodeTabs>
```js
const AuthorsPreview = ({ widgetsFor }) => {
return h(
'div',
{},
// This is a static header that would only be rendered once for the entire list
h('h1', {}, 'Authors'),
// Here we provide a simple mapping function that will be applied to each
// object in the array of authors
widgetsFor('authors').map(function (author, index) {
return h(
'div',
{ key: index },
h('hr', {}),
h('strong', {}, author.data.name),
author.widgets.description,
);
}),
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('authors', AuthorsPreview);
```
```jsx
import CMS from '@staticcms/core';
const AuthorsPreview = ({ widgetsFor }) => {
return (
<div>
{/* This is a static header that would only be rendered once for the entire list */}
<h1>Authors</h1>
{/* Here we provide a simple mapping function that will be applied to each object in the array of authors */}
{widgetsFor('authors').map((author, index) => (
<div key={index}>
<hr />
<strong>{author.data.name}</strong>
{author.widgets.description}
</div>
))}
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('authors', AuthorsPreview);
```
```tsx
import CMS from '@staticcms/core';
import type { TemplatePreviewProps } from '@staticcms/core';
interface Author {
name: string;
description: string;
}
/**
* The type for 'entry.data'
*/
interface Authors {
authors: Author[];
}
const AuthorsPreview = ({ widgetsFor }: TemplatePreviewProps<Authors>) => {
return (
<div>
{/* This is a static header that would only be rendered once for the entire list */}
<h1>Authors</h1>
{/* Here we provide a simple mapping function that will be applied to each object in the array of authors */}
{widgetsFor('authors').map((author, index) => (
<div key={index}>
<hr />
<strong>{author.data.name}</strong>
{author.widgets.description}
</div>
))}
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('authors', AuthorsPreview);
```
</CodeTabs>
##### Object Example
Object fields are simpler than lists - instead of `widgetsFor` returning an array of objects, it returns a single object. Accessing the shape of that object is the same as the shape of objects returned for list fields:
```js
{
data: { front_limit: 0, author: 'Chris' },
widgets: { front_limit: <WidgetComponent>, author: <WidgetComponent>}
}
```
<CodeTabs>
```js
const GeneralPreview = ({ entry, widgetsFor }) => {
const title = entry.data.site_title;
const posts = entry.data.posts;
return h(
'div',
{},
h('h1', {}, title),
h(
'dl',
{},
h('dt', {}, 'Posts on Frontpage'),
h('dd', {}, widgetsFor('posts').widgets.front_limit || 0),
h('dt', {}, 'Default Author'),
h('dd', {}, widgetsFor('posts').data.author || 'None'),
),
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('general', GeneralPreview);
```
```jsx
import CMS from '@staticcms/core';
const GeneralPreview = ({ entry, widgetsFor }) => {
const title = entry.data.site_title;
const posts = entry.data.posts;
return (
<div>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<dl>
<dt>Posts on Frontpage</dt>
<dd>{widgetsFor('posts').widgets.front_limit || 0)}</dd>
<dt>Default Author</dt>
<dd>{widgetsFor('posts').data.author || 'None')}</dd>
</dl>
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('general', GeneralPreview);
```
```tsx
import CMS from '@staticcms/core';
import type { TemplatePreviewProps } from '@staticcms/core';
interface Posts {
front_limit?: number;
author?: string;
}
/**
* The type for 'entry.data'
*/
interface GeneralSettings {
site_title: string;
posts: Posts;
}
const GeneralPreview = ({ entry, widgetsFor }: TemplatePreviewProps<GeneralSettings>) => {
const title = entry.data.site_title;
const posts = entry.data.posts;
return (
<div>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<dl>
<dt>Posts on Frontpage</dt>
<dd>{widgetsFor('posts').widgets.front_limit || 0)}</dd>
<dt>Default Author</dt>
<dd>{widgetsFor('posts').data.author || 'None')}</dd>
</dl>
</div>
);
};
CMS.registerPreviewTemplate('general', GeneralPreview);
```
</CodeTabs>
## Editor Preview Styles
Register a custom stylesheet to use on the preview pane.
```js
CMS.registerPreviewStyle(url);
```
### Raw Styles
If you want to provide a raw CSS string instead of a url, you can pass `{ raw: true }` as the second parameter.
```js
CMS.registerPreviewStyle('.main { color: blue; border: 1px solid gree; }', { raw: true });
```
## Collection Card Preview
`registerPreviewCard` allows you to create a card template that overrides the cards displayed in the collection view.
### Params

| name | string | The name of the collection (or file for file collections) which this preview component will be used for<br /><ul><li>Folder collections: Use the name of the collection</li><li>File collections: Use the name of the file</li></ul> |
| component | [React Function Component](https://reactjs.org/docs/components-and-props.html) | A React functional component that renders a preview card for a given entry in your collection |
| getHeight | function | A function that returns the height for your cards. An object containing the current `collection` and `entry` are passed into the function at render. If no `getHeight` function is provided, the height will be `204` if the collection has an image field or `64` if the collection does not have an image field |
The following parameters will be passed to your `react_component` during render:
| Param | Type | Description |
| -------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| entry | object | Object with a `data` field that contains the current value of all widgets in the editor |
| widgetFor | Function | Given a field name, returns the rendered preview of that field's widget and value |
| widgetsFor | Function | Given a field name, returns the rendered previews of that field's nested child widgets and values |
| theme | 'light'<br />\| 'dark' | The current theme being used by the app |
| hasLocalBackup | boolean | Whether the current entry has a local backup |
