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 PivotGrid UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

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

Angular

TypeScript

import PivotGrid from "devextreme/ui/pivot_grid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        PivotGrid.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the PivotGrid properties
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxPivotGrid id="pivotGrid1" />
        <DxPivotGrid id="pivotGrid2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxPivotGrid from "devextreme-vue/pivot-grid";
import PivotGrid from "devextreme/ui/pivot_grid";

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

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

React

import React, {useEffect} from "react";
import dxPivotGrid from "devextreme/ui/pivot_grid";
import PivotGrid from "devextreme-react/pivot-grid";

export default function App() {
    useEffect(() => { 
        dxPivotGrid.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the PivotGrid properties
            }
        })
    });

    return (
        <div>
            <PivotGrid id="pivotGrid1" />
            <PivotGrid id="pivotGrid2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the PivotGrid instance.

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

JavaScript

$("#myPivotGrid").dxPivotGrid("dispose");
$("#myPivotGrid").remove();

Use this method only if the UI component was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:

Angular

app.component.html

<dx-pivot-grid ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-pivot-grid>

Vue

App.vue

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

<script>
import DxPivotGrid from 'devextreme-vue/pivot-grid';

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

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import PivotGrid from 'devextreme-react/pivot-grid';

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

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

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxPivotGrid 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.

endUpdate()

Refreshes the UI component after a call of the beginUpdate() method.

Main article: beginUpdate()

exportToExcel()

Use the exportPivotGrid(options) method instead.

Exports pivot grid data to the Excel file.

focus()

Sets focus on the UI component.

getDataSource()

Gets the PivotGridDataSource instance.

Return Value:

The PivotGridDataSource instance.

This method is commonly used to link the pivot grid with the PivotGridFieldChooser UI component.

getFieldChooserPopup()

Gets the Popup instance of the field chooser window.

Return Value:

...
let element = document.getElementById("myPivotGrid");
let instance = PivotGrid.getInstance(element) as PivotGrid;
