Description

device

Device

|

Array<Device>

|

Device parameters.
When specifying a function, get information about the current device from the argument. Return true if the properties should be applied to the device.

options

Options to be applied.

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 RangeSlider UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

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

Angular

TypeScript

import RangeSlider from "devextreme/ui/range_slider";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        RangeSlider.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the RangeSlider properties
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxRangeSlider id="rangeSlider1" />
        <DxRangeSlider id="rangeSlider2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxRangeSlider from "devextreme-vue/range-slider";
import RangeSlider from "devextreme/ui/range_slider";

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

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

React

import React, {useEffect} from "react";
import dxRangeSlider from "devextreme/ui/range_slider";
import RangeSlider from "devextreme-react/range-slider";

export default function App() {
    useEffect(() => { 
        dxRangeSlider.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the RangeSlider properties
            }
        })
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <RangeSlider id="rangeSlider1" />
            <RangeSlider id="rangeSlider2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the RangeSlider instance.

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

JavaScript

$("#myRangeSlider").dxRangeSlider("dispose");
$("#myRangeSlider").remove();

Use this method only if the UI component was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:

Angular

app.component.html

<dx-range-slider ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-range-slider>

Vue

App.vue

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

<script>
import DxRangeSlider from 'devextreme-vue/range-slider';

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

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import RangeSlider from 'devextreme-react/range-slider';

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

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

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