JavaScript/jQuery Popover 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.

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 Popover UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxPopover.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Popover properties
}
});Angular
import Popover, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/popover";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
constructor () {
Popover.defaultOptions<Properties>({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Popover properties
}
});
}
}Vue
<template>
<div>
<DxPopover id="popover1" />
<DxPopover id="popover2" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import DxPopover from "devextreme-vue/popover";
import Popover from "devextreme/ui/popover";
Popover.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Popover properties
}
});
export default {
components: {
DxPopover
}
}
</script>React
import dxPopover from "devextreme/ui/popover";
import Popover from "devextreme-react/popover";
dxPopover.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the Popover properties
}
});
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<Popover id="popover1" />
<Popover id="popover2" />
</div>
)
}dispose()
jQuery
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myPopover").dxPopover("dispose");
$("#myPopover").remove();Angular
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<dx-popover ...
*ngIf="condition">
</dx-popover>Vue
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<template>
<DxPopover ...
v-if="condition">
</DxPopover>

components: {
DxPopover
}
}
</script>React
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
import React from 'react';
import Popover from 'devextreme-react/popover';
function DxPopover(props) {
if (!props.shouldRender) {
return null;
}
return (
<Popover ... >
</Popover>
);
}
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<DxPopover shouldRender="condition" />
);
}
}
export default App;endUpdate()

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the Popover instance found in an element with the myPopover ID:
// Modular approach
import Popover from "devextreme/ui/popover";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myPopover");
let instance = Popover.getInstance(element) as Popover;
// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myPopover");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxPopover.getInstance(element);See Also
hide()
A Promise that is resolved after the UI component is hidden. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
on(eventName, eventHandler)
Use this method to subscribe to one of the events listed in the Events section.
See Also
on(events)
Use this method to subscribe to several events with one method call. Available events are listed in the Events section.

show()
A Promise that is resolved after the UI component is shown. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
show(target)
A Promise that is resolved if the UI component is displayed and rejected otherwise. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
toggle(showing)
A Promise that is resolved with true if the UI component is shown or false if it is hidden. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.
You can use the toggle(showing) method instead of the show() and hide() methods. In this case, pass true or false as the method parameter to show or hide the UI component.
The UI component is automatically hidden after the time specified in the displayTime property.
