    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the SlideOutView options
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

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

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxSlideOutView id="slideOutView1" />
        <DxSlideOutView id="slideOutView2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxSlideOutView from "devextreme-vue/slide-out-view";
import SlideOutView from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";

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

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

React

import React from "react";
import dxSlideOutView from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";
import SlideOutView from "devextreme-react/slide-out-view";

class App extends React.Component {
    render () {
        dxSlideOutView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the SlideOutView options
            }
        })
        return (
            <div>
                <SlideOutView id="slideOutView1" />
                <SlideOutView id="slideOutView2" />
            </div>
        )
    }

export default App;

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the SlideOutView instance.

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

JavaScript

$("#mySlideOutView").dxSlideOutView("dispose");
$("#mySlideOutView").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-view ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-slide-out-view>

Vue

App.vue

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

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

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

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import SlideOutView from 'devextreme-react/slide-out-view';

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

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

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
