React Resizable Methods

Methods of the DomComponent object.

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(rule)

Specifies the device-dependent default configuration properties for this component.

Parameters:

rule:

Object

The component's default device properties.

Object structure:

Name	Type	Description
device	Device \| Function	Device parameters. When you specify a function, get information about the current device from the argument. Return true if the properties should be applied to the device.
options	Object	Options to be applied.

Name

Type

Description

device

Device

|

Function

Device parameters.
When you specify a function, get information about the current device from the argument. Return true if the properties should be applied to the device.

options

Object

Options to be applied.

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 Resizable UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

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

Angular

TypeScript

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

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxResizable id="resizable1" />
        <DxResizable id="resizable2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxResizable from "devextreme-vue/resizable";
import Resizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";

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

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

React

import dxResizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";
import Resizable from "devextreme-react/resizable";

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

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <Resizable id="resizable1" />
            <Resizable id="resizable2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the Resizable instance.

jQuery

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

JavaScript

$("#myResizable").dxResizable("dispose");
$("#myResizable").remove();

Angular

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

app.component.html

<dx-resizable ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-resizable>

Vue

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.vue

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

<script>
import DxResizable from 'devextreme-vue/resizable';

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

React

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.js

import React from 'react';

import Resizable from 'devextreme-react/resizable';

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

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

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

element()

Gets the root UI component element.

Return Value:

HTMLElement | jQuery

An HTML element or a jQuery element when you use jQuery.

getInstance(element)

Gets the instance of a UI component found using its DOM node.

Parameters:

element:

Element

|

jQuery

The UI component's container.

Return Value:

Object

The UI component's instance.

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

// Modular approach
import Resizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myResizable");
let instance = Resizable.getInstance(element) as Resizable;

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