JavaScript/jQuery Drawer Options
This section describes properties that configure the Drawer UI component's contents, behavior and appearance.
See Also
activeStateEnabled
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.
animationDuration
Specifies the duration of the drawer's opening and closing animation (in milliseconds). Applies only if animationEnabled is true.
closeOnOutsideClick
Event (jQuery or EventObject)
The raised event. It is a EventObject or a jQuery.Event when you use jQuery.
The function passed to this property enables you to specify a custom condition for UI component closing. For instance, you can prevent closing until a user clicks a specific element on the view:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... closeOnOutsideClick: function(e) { return e.target === $("#someElement").get()[0]; } }); });
Angular
import { DxDrawerModule } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { // ... closeOnOutsideClick(e) { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); } } @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxDrawerModule ], // ... })
<dx-drawer ... [closeOnOutsideClick]="closeOnOutsideClick"> </dx-drawer>
Vue
<template> <DxDrawer .... :close-on-outside-click="closeOnOutsideClick"> </DxDrawer> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer }, methods: { closeOnOutsideClick (e) { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; const closeOnOutsideClick = (e) => { return e.target === document.getElementById("someElement"); }; export default function App() { return ( <Drawer ... closeOnOutsideClick={closeOnOutsideClick}> </Drawer> ); }
elementAttr
Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.
jQuery
$(function(){ $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... elementAttr: { id: "elementId", class: "class-name" } }); });
Angular
<dx-drawer ... [elementAttr]="{ id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' }"> </dx-drawer>
import { DxDrawerModule } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { // ... } @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxDrawerModule ], // ... })
Vue
<template> <DxDrawer ... :element-attr="drawerAttributes"> </DxDrawer> </template> <script> import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer }, data() { return { drawerAttributes: { id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' } } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; class App extends React.Component { drawerAttributes = { id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' } render() { return ( <Drawer ... elementAttr={this.drawerAttributes}> </Drawer> ); } } export default App;
height
This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The height in pixels.String
A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example,"55px"
,"20vh"
,"inherit"
. If you want to specify a relative height, usevh
height measurements.Function (deprecated since v21.2)
Refer to the W0017 warning description for information on how to migrate to viewport units.
maxSize
Specifies the drawer's width or height (depending on the drawer's position) in the opened state.
minSize
Specifies the drawer's width or height (depending on the drawer's position) in the closed state.
onDisposing
A function that is executed before the UI component is disposed of.

The following example shows how to subscribe to component property changes:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... onOptionChanged: function(e) { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } }); });
Angular
<dx-drawer ... (onOptionChanged)="handlePropertyChange($event)"> </dx-drawer>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // ... handlePropertyChange(e) { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxDrawerModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxDrawerModule ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxDrawer ... @option-changed="handlePropertyChange" /> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer }, // ... methods: { handlePropertyChange: function(e) { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; const handlePropertyChange = (e) => { if(e.name === "changedProperty") { // handle the property change here } } export default function App() { return ( <Drawer ... onOptionChanged={handlePropertyChange} /> ); }
openedStateMode
The following modes are available:
"overlap"
The drawer overlaps the view. If you assign "overlap" to the openedStateMode property, the Drawer uses the Popup component to render a side menu. A z-index of all overlay UI components (Popup, Popover, etc.) on a page is calculated when a component is created and it takes into account the z-indexes of existing overlays. As a result, a newly opened Popup (the Drawer's panel) is displayed at the top. If you need to display a different window at the top, call the focus() method for the Popup after the openedStateMode property is changed."shrink"
The view's width decreases to accommodate the drawer."push"
The drawer partially displaces the view.
Note that if the value of this property changes, the Drawer template is re-rendered.
See Also
position
Use "before" and "after" if the Drawer should be positioned differently in right-to-left and regular representations. The following table shows the dependency between the rtlEnabled value and "before" and "after" positions:
"before" | "after" | |
---|---|---|
rtlEnabled: false | left side of the view | right side of the view |
rtlEnabled: true | right side of the view | left side of the view |
revealMode
The following modes are available:
"slide"
The drawer slides in. The drawer and its content are animated."expand"
The drawer expands from the closed position. The drawer's width is animated; its content is not.
When you change the Drawer's reveal mode, the component needs to perform recalculations for animation. As a result, the template is rerendered which can increase loading time.
See Also
rtlEnabled
When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.
DevExpress.config({ rtlEnabled: true });
target
Specifies a CSS selector for the element in which the drawer should be rendered. Applies only when the openedStateMode is "overlap".
This property accepts one of the following values:
A CSS selector, or a jQuery selector if you use jQuery
jQuery
index.js$(function(){ $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... target: '#targetElement' }); });
Angular
app.component.html<dx-drawer ... target="#targetElement" > </dx-drawer>
Vue
App.vue<template> <DxDrawer ... target="#targetElement" > </DxDrawer> </template> <script> import { DxDrawer } from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer } }; </script>
React
App.jsimport Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; // ... function App() { return ( <Drawer ... target="#targetElement" > </Drawer> ); }
A jQuery wrapper
jQuery
index.js$(function(){ $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... target: $('#targetElement') }); });
A DOM element
jQuery
index.js$(function(){ $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ // ... target: document.getElementById('#targetElement') }); });
Angular
app.component.htmlapp.component.ts<dx-drawer ... [target]="targetElement" > </dx-drawer>
// ... export class AppComponent { targetElement: Element; constructor() { this.targetElement = document.getElementById('#targetElement') as Element; } }
Vue
App.vue<template> <DxDrawer ... :target="targetElement" > </DxDrawer> </template> <script> import { DxDrawer } from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer }, data() { return { targetElement: null } }, mounted() { this.targetElement = document.getElementById('targetElement'); } }; </script>
React
App.jsimport React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'; import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; // ... function App() { const [targetElement, setTargetElement] = useState(null); useEffect(() => { setTargetElement(document.getElementById('targetElement')); }, []); return ( <Drawer ... target={targetElement} > </Drawer> ); }

template
This property specifies the drawer's content. To specify the view's content, nest it inside the Drawer's markup element as shown in the code below.
jQuery
$(function() { $("#drawerContainer").dxDrawer({ template: function() { const $drawerContent = $("<div>").width(200); // ... // Specify the drawer's content here // ... return $drawerContent; } }); });
<div id="drawerContainer"> <!-- Declare the view's content here --> </div>
Angular
<dx-drawer template="drawer-content"> <div *dxTemplate="let data of 'drawer-content'" style="width:200px;"> <!-- Declare the drawer's content here --> </div> <!-- Declare the view's content here --> </dx-drawer>
Vue
<template> <DxDrawer template="drawer-content"> <template #drawer-content="{ data }" style="width:200px;"> <!-- Declare the drawer's content here --> </template> <!-- Declare the view's content here --> </DxDrawer> </template> <script> import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import DxDrawer from 'devextreme-vue/drawer'; export default { components: { DxDrawer } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import Drawer from 'devextreme-react/drawer'; function DrawerContent() { return ( <div style={{ width: 200 }}> {/* Declare the drawer's content here */} </div> ) } export default function App() { return ( <Drawer render={DrawerContent}> {/* Declare the view's content here */} </Drawer> ); }

width
This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
