    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the SlideOut options
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

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

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

Angular

HTML

<dx-slide-out #slideOutVar id="mySlideOut"></dx-slide-out>

export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild("slideOutVar") slideOut: DxSlideOutComponent;
