defaultOptions is a static method that the widget class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default options for all instances of the PivotGrid widget in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

DevExpress.ui.dxPivotGrid.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the PivotGrid options
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

import PivotGrid from 'devextreme/ui/pivot_grid';
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        PivotGrid.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the PivotGrid options
            }
        });
    }
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the PivotGrid instance.

The following code disposes of an PivotGrid instance that corresponds to the element ID (or reference variable in Angular) and removes the element from the DOM:

jQuery

$("#myPivotGrid").remove();

Angular

HTML

<dx-pivot-grid #pivotGridVar id="myPivotGrid"></dx-pivot-grid>

TypeScript

import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { DxPivotGridComponent } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild("pivotGridVar") pivotGrid: DxPivotGridComponent;

    removePivotGrid (e) {
        this.pivotGrid.instance.dispose();
        document.getElementById("myPivotGrid").remove();
    }
}
