jQuery

JavaScript

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

Angular

TypeScript

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

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxSlideOut id="slideOut1" />
        <DxSlideOut id="slideOut2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxSlideOut from "devextreme-vue/slide-out";
import SlideOut from "devextreme/ui/slide_out";

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

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

React

import React from "react";
import dxSlideOut from "devextreme/ui/slide_out";
import SlideOut from "devextreme-react/slide-out";

class App extends React.Component {
    render () {
        dxSlideOut.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the SlideOut options
            }
        })
        return (
            <div>
                <SlideOut id="slideOut1" />
                <SlideOut id="slideOut2" />
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default App;

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the SlideOut instance.

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

JavaScript

$("#mySlideOut").dxSlideOut("dispose");
$("#mySlideOut").remove();

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

Angular

app.component.html

<dx-slide-out ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-slide-out>

Vue

App.vue

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

<script>
import DxSlideOut from 'devextreme-vue/slide-out';

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

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import SlideOut from 'devextreme-react/slide-out';

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

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

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