What does Ant Design give an admin screen?

The antd package supplies styled React controls. Pair a table showing records with a Modal and Form for editing one. Your app still supplies the records, labels and action that saves a change.

Check the React version when updating. Ant Design 6 dropped React 16 and 17 support.

How can an edit dialog show the wrong record’s draft?

A modal can keep its content when closed, and Ant Design Form can preserve field values. When switching records, deliberately load the new record’s values and verify that a canceled draft does not leak into it. The Modal documentation calls out separate form preservation settings when you want fresh fields each time.

Check the title, keyboard focus and what a person can do after an invalid value. Saving and closing are separate decisions in your app.

Which changes remain yours to maintain?

The React library is MIT-licensed. Keep the package version, theme choices, form rules and actions in your project. After an update, check the behavior you use instead of assuming the example from another version applies.

How would you catch a stale edit before wiring up the form?

Draw two fictional inventory rows and a shared edit dialog. Use no real records or accounts.

  1. Open the first row
    Write its name in the form, change it and cancel without saving.
  2. Open the second row
    The title and fields should refer to the second row, with no value carried over from the canceled edit.
  3. Check the keyboard path
    Mark how to reach a field, find a useful error and get back to the list after closing.
