Angular SlideOut Properties

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

Use to manage the content regardless of which view is selected. You can use the onSelectionChanged option to manually update the content when a title is clicked.

If this option is defined, the itemTemplate option is ignored.

This option accepts one of the following.

• Array of objects
  A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.

• URL
  A URL to JSON data or to a service returning data in JSON format.

• DataSource or its configuration object
  A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

If the data source is specified using the dataSource option, use the items option only for reading. Updating data items using the items option may cause unexpected results.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API.

You can configure this option in an ASP.NET MVC Control as follows:

@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName()
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new {
        @id = "elementId",
        @class = "class-name"
    })
    // ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })

)

@(Html.DevExtreme().WidgetName() _
    .ElementAttr("class", "class-name")
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New With {
        .id = "elementId",
        .class = "class-name"
    })
    ' ===== or =====
    .ElementAttr(New Dictionary(Of String, Object) From {
        { "id", "elementId" },
        { "class", "class-name" }
    })
)

This option accepts a value of one of the following types:

• Number
  The height in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "80%", "auto", "inherit".

• Function
  A function returning either of the above. For example:

  JavaScript

  height: function() {
      return window.innerHeight / 1.5;
  }

You can use the dataSource option instead. Unlike the items option, the dataSource option can take on the DataSource configuration object as well as a simple array.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API.

If this option is set to 'true', the object assigned to the items option should include the key and items properties. The key property specifies the group caption in the menu. The items property represents an array listing group items.

Normally, the menu is located at the left side of the screen. Assign 'inverted' to this option to display the menu at the opposite side.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the SlideOutMenuPosition enum. This enum accepts the following values: Normal and Inverted.

You cannot access widget elements in this handler because it is executed before they are ready. Use the onContentReady handler instead.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when a widget item is clicked.

To navigate to a specific URL when the itemClick event fires, assign that URL or the anchor part (#) of that URL directly to this option as a string.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the right mouse button is clicked when the pointer is over a widget item, or when the "sustained" (also known as a long press) touch action is performed.

Assign a function to perform a custom action when the widget's collection item is being held for a specified time period (see the itemHoldTimeout option).

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a collection item is rendered.

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a menu item group element is rendered.

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a menu item is rendered.

Assign a function to perform a custom action after a collection item is selected or unselected.

When this option is set to true, the widget text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.

DevExpress.config({
    rtlEnabled: true
});

When this option is set to false, ensure that you have elements in the widget that call the widget's show() and hide() methods.

This option accepts a value of one of the following types:

• Number
  The width in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example, "55px", "80%", "auto", "inherit".

• Function
  A function returning either of the above. For example:

  JavaScript

  width: function() {
      return window.innerWidth / 1.5;
  }
