+# Concept
+
+Data view widgets are meant to be used to render items from various data readers 
+from [yiisoft/data](https://github.com/yiisoft/data) package.
+The idea is that data itself and how it's obtained, sorted, paginated, etc. is separated from how it's rendered.
+The same data reader could be rendered as a list or a grid or something else, and vice versa, the grid could render
+data coming from database, CSV or even REST API. In both cases, a developer changes either only how the data is obtained
+or how the data is rendered.
+
+```mermaid
+    graph TD;
+    R[Data Reader] -->|Provides Data| V[Data View];
+
+    RD[Database] --> R;
+    RC[CSV] --> R;
+    RA[REST API] --> R;
+
+    V --> VL[List];
+    V --> VG[Grid];
+    V --> VO[Other];
+```

+# Detail View
+
+The `DetailView` widget is designed to display details about a single data item.
+It provides a flexible way to render detailed views with customizable attribute layouts.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+The basic usage is the following:
+
+```php
+<?php
+use Yiisoft\Yii\DataView\DetailView;
+use Yiisoft\Yii\DataView\Field\DataField; 
+?>
+
+<?= DetailView::widget()
+    ->data(['id' => 1, 'username' => 'tests 1', 'status' => true])
+    ->fields(
+        new DataField('id'),
+        new DataField('username', label: 'Name of the user'),
+        new DataField('status'),
+    )
+?>
+```
+
+In the above the data set via `data()` can be either an object with public fields or an associative array.
+What's displayed is defined via fields configurations where each is an instance of `DataField` that may contain
+the following:
+
+- `name` - Property name in the data object or key name in the data array. Optional if `value` is set explicitly.
+- `label` - Field label. If not set, `name` is used.
+- `labelAttributes` - An array of label's HTML attribute values indexed by attribute names or a function accepting
+  data and returning the array.
+- `labelTag` - Label HTML tag.
+- `value` Explicit value. If `null`, the value is obtained from the data by its name. Could be a
+  function accepting data as an argument and returning the value.
+- `valueTag` Value HTML tag.
+- `valueAttributes` - An array of value's HTML attribute values indexed by attribute names or a function accepting
+  data and returning the array.
+
+## Rendering options
+
+The widget is fully customizable in terms of how it's rendered.
+
+### Main widget
+
+By default, the widget is rendered as
+
+```html
+<div{attributes}>
+    {header}
+    <dl{fieldListAttributes}>
+        {fields}
+    </dl>
+</div>
+```
+
+The template above could be changed with `template()`.
+Attributes for the main widget tag could be set using `attributes()` and attributes for the field list container
+could be set with `fieldListAttributes()`. 
+Header is an extra content displayed and could be set with `header()`.
+
+`{fields}` placeholder is replaced with the rendered fields. Each field is using a template that defaults to the following:
+
+```html
+<div{attributes}>
+    {label}
+    {value}
+</div>
+```
+
+The template could be customized with `fieldTemplate()` and attributes could be set with `fieldAttributes()`.
+
+
+Label is rendered as:
+
+```html
+<{tag}{attributes}>{label}</{tag}>
+```
+
+The template above could be customized with `labelTemplate()`.
+
+Tag and its attributes could be set with `labelTag()` or `labelAttributes()` but if `DataField` has corresponding
+properties set, they have higher priority.
+
+If `DataField`'s `label` is set, it is used as is else it falls back to `name`.
+
+The value is similar. It is rendered as:
+
+```html
+<{tag}{attributes}>{value}</{tag}>
+```
+
+The template above could be customized with `valueTemplate()`.
+
+Tag and its attributes could be set with `valueTag()` or `valueAttributes()` but if `DataField` has corresponding
+properties set, they have higher priority. 
+
+If `DataField`'s `value` is set, it is used as is else it is getting the value from the data using `name` as either
+object property name or array key.
+
+There are two extra methods, `valueTrue()` and `valueFalse()`. You can use these to define how to display a boolean
+value.
