Angular Drawer Properties

See Also

The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.

Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

• animationDuration

The function passed to this property enables you to specify a custom condition for UI component closing. For instance, you can prevent closing until a user clicks a specific element on the view:

$(function() {
    $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({
        // ...
        closeOnOutsideClick: function(e) {
            return e.target === $("#someElement").get()[0];
        }
    });
});

import { DxDrawerModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
    closeOnOutsideClick(e) {
        return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement");
    }
}
@NgModule({
     imports: [
         // ...
         DxDrawerModule
     ],
     // ...
 })

<dx-drawer ...
    [closeOnOutsideClick]="closeOnOutsideClick">
</dx-drawer>

<template>
    <DxDrawer ....
        :close-on-outside-click="closeOnOutsideClick">
    </DxDrawer>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer';

export default {
    components: {
        DxDrawer
    },
    methods: {
        closeOnOutsideClick (e) {
            return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement");
        }
    }
}
</script>

import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer';

const closeOnOutsideClick = (e) => {
    return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement");
};

export default function App() {
    return (
        <Drawer ...
            closeOnOutsideClick={closeOnOutsideClick}>
        </Drawer>
    );
}

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

• Number
  The height in pixels.

• String
  A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "20vh", "inherit". If you want to specify a relative height, use vh height measurements.

• Function (deprecated since v21.2)
  Refer to the W0017 warning description for information on how to migrate to viewport units.

The following example shows how to subscribe to component property changes:

$(function() {
    $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({
        // ...
        onOptionChanged: function(e) {
            if(e.name === "changedProperty") {
                // handle the property change here
            }
        }
    });
});

• openedStateMode
• revealMode

The following modes are available:

• "overlap"
  The drawer overlaps the view.

• "shrink"
  The view's width decreases to accommodate the drawer.

• "push"
  The drawer partially displaces the view.

Note that if the value of this property changes, the Drawer template is re-rendered.

Use "before" and "after" if the Drawer should be positioned differently in right-to-left and regular representations. The following table shows the dependency between the rtlEnabled value and "before" and "after" positions:

Top or Bottom Position Demo Left or Right Position Demo

The following modes are available:

• "slide"
  The drawer slides in. The drawer and its content are animated.

• "expand"
  The drawer expands from the closed position. The drawer's width is animated; its content is not.

• openedStateMode

When this property is set to true, the UI component 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
});
