JavaScript/jQuery BarGauge Methods
This section describes the methods that can be used in code to manipulate objects related to the BarGauge UI component.
beginUpdate()
Postpones rendering that can negatively affect performance until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods reduce the number of renders in cases where extra rendering can negatively affect performance.

dispose()
jQuery
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myBarGauge").dxBarGauge("dispose");
$("#myBarGauge").remove();Angular
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<dx-bar-gauge ...
*ngIf="condition">
</dx-bar-gauge>Vue
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<template>
<DxBarGauge ...
v-if="condition">
</DxBarGauge>
</template>
<script>
import DxBarGauge from 'devextreme-vue/bar-gauge';
export default {
components: {
DxBarGauge
}
}
</script>React
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
import React from 'react';
import BarGauge from 'devextreme-react/bar-gauge';
function DxBarGauge(props) {
if (!props.shouldRender) {
return null;
}
return (
<BarGauge ... >
</BarGauge>
);
}
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<DxBarGauge shouldRender="condition" />
);
}
}
export default App;endUpdate()
Refreshes the UI component after a call of the beginUpdate() method.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods reduce the number of renders in cases where extra rendering can negatively affect performance.

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the BarGauge instance found in an element with the myBarGauge ID:
// Modular approach
import BarGauge from "devextreme/viz/bar_gauge";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myBarGauge");
let instance = BarGauge.getInstance(element) as BarGauge;
// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myBarGauge");
let instance = DevExpress.viz.dxBarGauge.getInstance(element);See Also
getSize()
Returns an object with the following fields.
- width
The width of the UI component in pixels. - height
The height of the UI component in pixels.

hideLoadingIndicator()
Although the loading indicator hides automatically once the UI component is ready, you can hide it from code at the required moment using this method.
See Also
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.

render()
Normally, the UI component redraws itself automatically after the browser window is resized. But on rare occasions, you may need to request the redrawing, for example, after the UI component's container is resized. For this purpose, call the render() method.

values(newValues)
Updates all the values.
Use this method to change gauge values at runtime.
