defaultOptions is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the LoadIndicator UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

DevExpress.ui.dxLoadIndicator.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

import LoadIndicator, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        LoadIndicator.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxLoadIndicator id="loadIndicator1" />
        <DxLoadIndicator id="loadIndicator2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxLoadIndicator from "devextreme-vue/load-indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";

LoadIndicator.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
    }
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxLoadIndicator
    }
}
</script>

React

import dxLoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme-react/load-indicator";

dxLoadIndicator.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
    }
});

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <LoadIndicator id="loadIndicator1" />
            <LoadIndicator id="loadIndicator2" />
        </div>
    )
}

You can also set rules for multiple device types:

jQuery

JavaScript

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    DevExpress.ui.dxLoadIndicator.defaultOptions({ 
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
        }
    });
});

Angular

TypeScript

import LoadIndicator, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        const devicesConfig = [
            { deviceType: 'desktop' },
            { deviceType: 'tablet' },
            { deviceType: 'phone' },
        ];

        devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
            LoadIndicator.defaultOptions<Properties>({
                device: deviceConfig,
                options: {
                    // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
                }
            });
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxLoadIndicator />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxLoadIndicator from "devextreme-vue/load-indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    LoadIndicator.defaultOptions({
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
        }
    });
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxLoadIndicator
    }
}
</script>

React

import dxLoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme-react/load-indicator";

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    dxLoadIndicator.defaultOptions({
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
        }
    });
});

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <LoadIndicator />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the LoadIndicator instance.

jQuery

After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:

JavaScript

$("#myLoadIndicator").dxLoadIndicator("dispose");
$("#myLoadIndicator").remove();

Angular

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

app.component.html

<dx-load-indicator ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-load-indicator>

Vue

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.vue

<template>
    <DxLoadIndicator ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxLoadIndicator>
</template>

<script>
import DxLoadIndicator from 'devextreme-vue/load-indicator';

export default {
    components: {
        DxLoadIndicator
    }
}
</script>

React

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.js

import React from 'react';

import LoadIndicator from 'devextreme-react/load-indicator';

function DxLoadIndicator(props) {
    if (!props.shouldRender) {
        return null;
    }

    return (
        <LoadIndicator ... >    
        </LoadIndicator>
    );
}

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxLoadIndicator shouldRender="condition" />
        );
    }
}
export default App;

element()

Gets the root UI component element.

Return Value:

HTMLElement | jQuery

An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.

endUpdate()

Refreshes the UI component after a call of the beginUpdate() method.

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods reduce the number of renders in cases where extra rendering can negatively affect performance.

getInstance(element)

Gets the instance of a UI component found using its DOM node.

Parameters:

element:

Element

|

jQuery

The UI component's container.

Return Value:

Object

The UI component's instance.

getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the LoadIndicator instance found in an element with the myLoadIndicator ID:

// Modular approach
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myLoadIndicator");
let instance = LoadIndicator.getInstance(element) as LoadIndicator;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myLoadIndicator");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxLoadIndicator.getInstance(element);
