Vue LoadIndicator Methods

This section describes members used to manipulate the UI component.

See Also

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 is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the LoadIndicator UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery
JavaScript

    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
    }
});
Angular
TypeScript
import LoadIndicator, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        LoadIndicator.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the LoadIndicator properties
            }
        });
    }
}
Vue
<template>
    <div>
        <DxLoadIndicator id="loadIndicator1" />
        <DxLoadIndicator id="loadIndicator2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxLoadIndicator from "devextreme-vue/load-indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";

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

export default {
    components: {
        DxLoadIndicator
    }
}
</script>
React
import dxLoadIndicator from "devextreme/ui/load_indicator";
import LoadIndicator from "devextreme-react/load-indicator";

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

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <LoadIndicator id="loadIndicator1" />
            <LoadIndicator id="loadIndicator2" />
        </div>
    )
}

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the LoadIndicator instance.

jQuery

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

JavaScript
$("#myLoadIndicator").dxLoadIndicator("dispose");
$("#myLoadIndicator").remove();
Angular

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

app.component.html
<dx-load-indicator ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-load-indicator>
Vue

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.vue
<template>
    <DxLoadIndicator ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxLoadIndicator>
</template>

<script>
import DxLoadIndicator from 'devextreme-vue/load-indicator';

export default {
    components: {
        DxLoadIndicator
    }
}
</script>
React

Use conditional rendering instead of this method:

App.js
import React from 'react';

import LoadIndicator from 'devextreme-react/load-indicator';

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

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

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

...
let element = document.getElementById("myLoadIndicator");
let instance = LoadIndicator.getInstance(element) as LoadIndicator;

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