JavaScript/jQuery DeferRendering Options

An object defining configuration properties for the UI component.

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the UI component.

Type:

String

The value of this property will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the UI component.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its state as a result of user interaction.

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. See the following GitHub repository for an example of this type of platform: MUI.

animation

Specifies the animation to be used to show the rendered content.

Default Value: undefined

You can pass a configuration object defining the required animation or the name of one of the registered animations.

Note that you can specify a staggered animation so that content elements with a similar selector are animated using the specified animation one after another with a specified delay.

Specifies whether the UI component responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

elementAttr

Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.
