NumberBox

The NumberBox is a widget that displays a numeric value and allows a user to modify it by typing in a value, and incrementing or decrementing it using the keyboard or mouse.

Included in: dx.mobile.js, dx.web.js, dx.viz-web.js, dx.all.js

Module: ui/number_box

Export: default

$("#numberbox").dxNumberBox({

});

You can create the widget using one of the following approaches.

jQuery

JavaScript

HTML

$(function () {
    $("#numberBox").dxNumberBox({
        value: 20,
        min: 16,
        max: 100,
        placeholder: 'Enter your age'
    });
});

<div id="numberBox"></div>

Angular

HTML

<dx-number-box
    [value]="20"
    [min]="16"
    [max]="100"
    placeholder="Enter your age">
</dx-number-box>

AngularJS

HTML

<div dx-number-box="{
    value: 20,
    min: 16,
    max: 100,
    placeholder: 'Enter your age'
}"></div>

Knockout

HTML

<div data-bind="dxNumberBox: {
    value: 20,
    min: 16,
    max: 100,
    placeholder: 'Enter your age'
}"></div>

ASP.NET MVC Controls

Razor C#

Razor VB

@(Html.DevExtreme().NumberBox()
    .ID("numberBox")
    .Value(20)
    .Min(16)
    .Max(100)
    .Placeholder("Enter your age")
)

@(Html.DevExtreme().NumberBox() _
    .ID("numberBox") _
    .Value(20) _
    .Min(16) _
    .Max(100) _
    .Placeholder("Enter your age")
)

Note that DevExtreme widgets require you to link the jQuery library to your application. If you use the Knockout or AngularJS approach, the Knockout or AngularJS library is also required. For detailed information on linking these libraries to your project, refer to the topics in the Installation section.
