React SlideOutView Methods

This section describes members used to manipulate the UI component.

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 is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the SlideOutView UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

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

Angular

TypeScript

import SlideOutView, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        SlideOutView.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the SlideOutView properties
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxSlideOutView id="slideOutView1" />
        <DxSlideOutView id="slideOutView2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxSlideOutView from "devextreme-vue/slide-out-view";
import SlideOutView from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";

SlideOutView.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the SlideOutView properties
    }
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxSlideOutView
    }
}
</script>

React

import dxSlideOutView from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";
import SlideOutView from "devextreme-react/slide-out-view";

dxSlideOutView.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the SlideOutView properties
    }
});

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <SlideOutView id="slideOutView1" />
            <SlideOutView id="slideOutView2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the SlideOutView instance.

jQuery

After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:

JavaScript

$("#mySlideOutView").dxSlideOutView("dispose");
$("#mySlideOutView").remove();

Angular

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

app.component.html

<dx-slide-out-view ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-slide-out-view>

Vue

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.vue

<template>
    <DxSlideOutView ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxSlideOutView>
</template>

<script>
import DxSlideOutView from 'devextreme-vue/slide-out-view';

export default {
    components: {
        DxSlideOutView
    }
}
</script>

React

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.js

import React from 'react';

import SlideOutView from 'devextreme-react/slide-out-view';

function DxSlideOutView(props) {
    if (!props.shouldRender) {
        return null;
    }

    return (
        <SlideOutView ... >    
        </SlideOutView>
    );
}

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxSlideOutView shouldRender="condition" />
        );
    }
}
export default App;

The UI component's container.

Return Value:

The UI component's instance.

getInstance is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the SlideOutView instance found in an element with the mySlideOutView ID:

// Modular approach
import SlideOutView from "devextreme/ui/slide_out_view";
...
let element = document.getElementById("mySlideOutView");
let instance = SlideOutView.getInstance(element) as SlideOutView;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("mySlideOutView");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxSlideOutView.getInstance(element);
