JavaScript/jQuery ValidationGroup Methods
This section describes members used to manipulate the UI component.
dispose()
Disposes of all the resources allocated to the ValidationGroup instance.
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myValidationGroup").dxValidationGroup("dispose");
$("#myValidationGroup").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-validation-group ...
*ngIf="condition">
</dx-validation-group>Vue
<template>
<DxValidationGroup ...
v-if="condition">
</DxValidationGroup>
</template>
<script>
import DxValidationGroup from 'devextreme-vue/validation-group';
export default {
components: {
DxValidationGroup
}
}
</script>React
import React from 'react';
import ValidationGroup from 'devextreme-react/validation-group';
function DxValidationGroup(props) {
if (!props.shouldRender) {
return null;
}
return (
<ValidationGroup ... >
</ValidationGroup>
);
}
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<DxValidationGroup shouldRender="condition" />
);
}
}
export default App;See Also
element()
Gets the root UI component element.
An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.
getInstance(element)
Gets the instance of a UI component found using its DOM node.
The UI component's instance.
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the ValidationGroup instance found in an element with the myValidationGroup ID:
// Modular approach
import ValidationGroup from "devextreme/ui/validation_group";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myValidationGroup");
let instance = ValidationGroup.getInstance(element) as ValidationGroup;
// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myValidationGroup");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxValidationGroup.getInstance(element);See Also
