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 List UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxList.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});Angular
import List, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/list";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
constructor () {
List.defaultOptions<Properties>({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
}
}Vue
<template>
<div>
<DxList id="list1" />
<DxList id="list2" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import DxList from "devextreme-vue/list";
import List from "devextreme/ui/list";
List.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
export default {
components: {
DxList
}
}
</script>React
import dxList from "devextreme/ui/list";
import List from "devextreme-react/list";
dxList.defaultOptions({
device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<List id="list1" />
<List id="list2" />
</div>
)
}You can also set rules for multiple device types:
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxList.defaultOptions({
device: [
{ deviceType: 'desktop' },
{ deviceType: 'tablet' },
{ deviceType: 'phone' },
],
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});Angular
import List, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/list";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
constructor () {
List.defaultOptions<Properties>({
device: [
{ deviceType: 'desktop' },
{ deviceType: 'tablet' },
{ deviceType: 'phone' },
],
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
}
}Vue
<template>
<div>
<DxList id="list1" />
<DxList id="list2" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import DxList from "devextreme-vue/list";
import List from "devextreme/ui/list";
List.defaultOptions({
device: [
{ deviceType: 'desktop' },
{ deviceType: 'tablet' },
{ deviceType: 'phone' },
],
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
export default {
components: {
DxList
}
}
</script>React
import dxList from "devextreme/ui/list";
import List from "devextreme-react/list";
dxList.defaultOptions({
device: [
{ deviceType: 'desktop' },
{ deviceType: 'tablet' },
{ deviceType: 'phone' },
],
options: {
// Here go the List properties
}
});
export default function App() {
return (
<div>
<List id="list1" />
<List id="list2" />
</div>
)

</dx-list>Vue
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<template>

components: {
DxList
}

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

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

jQuery
This code will move the 4th item of the 1st group to the 3rd position in the 3rd group:
$("#myList").dxList("instance").reorderItem({

},
{
group: 3,

Specifies the item index within the specified group.
jQuery
