Angular

TypeScript

import TileView from "devextreme/ui/tile_view";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        TileView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {

</template>
<script>
import DxTileView from "devextreme-vue/tile-view";

class App extends React.Component {
    render () {
        dxTileView.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the TileView options
            }
        })
        return (
            <div>
                <TileView id="tileView1" />
                <TileView id="tileView2" />

    @ViewChild("tileViewVar", { static: false }) tileView: DxTileViewComponent;
    // Prior to Angular 8
    // @ViewChild("tileViewVar") tileView: DxTileViewComponent;
