JavaScript/jQuery Drawer Methods
beginUpdate()
Prevents the UI component from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

content()
The drawer's content. It is an HTML Element or a jQuery Element when you use jQuery.
defaultOptions(rule)
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 Drawer UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxDrawer.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Drawer properties
}
});Angular
import Drawer from "devextreme/ui/drawer";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
constructor () {
Drawer.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Drawer properties
}
});
}
}Vue
<template>
<div>
<DxDrawer id="drawer1" />
<DxDrawer id="drawer2" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import DxDrawer from "devextreme-vue/drawer";
import Drawer from "devextreme/ui/drawer";
Drawer.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Drawer properties
}
});
export default {
components: {
DxDrawer
}
}
</script>React
import React, {useEffect} from "react";
import dxDrawer from "devextreme/ui/drawer";
import Drawer from "devextreme-react/drawer";
export default function App() {
useEffect(() => {
dxDrawer.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Drawer properties
}
})
});
return (
<div>
<Drawer id="drawer1" />
<Drawer id="drawer2" />
</div>
)
}dispose()
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myDrawer").dxDrawer("dispose");
$("#myDrawer").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
<dx-drawer ...
*ngIf="condition">
</dx-drawer>Vue
<template>
<DxDrawer ...
v-if="condition">
</DxDrawer>
</template>
<script>
import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer';
export default {
components: {
DxDrawer
}
}
</script>React
import React from 'react';
import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer';
function DxDrawer(props) {
if (!props.shouldRender) {
return null;
}
return (
<Drawer ... >
</Drawer>
);
}
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<DxDrawer shouldRender="condition" />
);
}
}
export default App;See Also
getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the Drawer instance found in an element with the myDrawer ID:
// Modular approach
import Drawer from "devextreme/ui/drawer";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myDrawer");
let instance = Drawer.getInstance(element) as Drawer;
// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myDrawer");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxDrawer.getInstance(element);See Also
