Vue CardView - ToolbarItem

Configures toolbar items.

import { DxCardViewTypes } from "devextreme-vue/card-view"
Type: DxCardViewTypes.ToolbarItem

The toolbar can contain the following elements as items:

  • Predefined controls
    Predefined controls appear on the toolbar depending on whether a specific CardView feature is enabled. The following table illustrates the dependency:

    Control Name Image Prerequisites
    addCardButton DevExtreme CardView toolbar addCardButton editing.allowAdding is true
    columnChooserButton DevExtreme CardView toolbar columnChooserButton columnChooser.enabled is true
    searchPanel DevExtreme CardView toolbar searchPanel searchPanel.visible is true
    selectAllButton DevExtreme CardView toolbar selectAllButton selection.allowSelectAll is true and selection.mode is 'multiple'
    clearSelectionButton DevExtreme CardView toolbar clearSelectionButton selection.mode is 'single' or 'multiple'

    If you need to customize a predefined control, add an object to the items[] array. This object must contain the control's name and properties that you want to customize. If a control does not need customization, simply include its name in the toolbar.items[] array.

    The example below customizes the Column Chooser button, adds an Add Card button, and enables the corresponding CardView features:

    jQuery
    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#CardViewContainer").dxCardView({
            // ...
            editing: {
                allowAdding: true
            },
            columnChooser: {
                enabled: true
            },
            toolbar: {
                items: [ "addCardButton", {
                    name: "columnChooserButton",      
                    locateInMenu: "auto",
                    location: "after"
                }]  
            }
        });
    });

    IMPORTANT
    CardView does not display controls missing from the items[] array. Ensure that this array includes controls for all enabled features.
  • DevExtreme components

    jQuery

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Set the widget property to specify the component that you want to use and configure the component's options:

    index.js
    $(function(){
        $("#CardViewContainer").dxCardView({
            // ...
            toolbar: {
                items: [{
                    widget: "dxSelectBox",
                    options: {
                        // SelectBox properties are specified here
                    }
                }]  
            }
        });
    });
    Angular

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a dxi-item element to add a supported component:

    app.component.html
    app.module.ts
    <dx-card-view ... >
        <dxo-card-view-toolbar>
            <dxi-card-view-toolbar-item>
                <dx-select-box>
                    <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                </dx-select-box>
            </dxi-card-view-toolbar-item>
        </dxo-card-view-toolbar>
    </dx-card-view>
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
    
    import { DxCardViewModule, DxSelectBoxModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
    
    @NgModule({
        declarations: [
            AppComponent
        ],
        imports: [
            BrowserModule,
            DxCardViewModule,
            DxSelectBoxModule,
        ],
        providers: [ ],
        bootstrap: [AppComponent]
    })
    export class AppModule { }
    Vue

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare a DxItem element to add a supported component:

    App.vue
    <template>
        <DxCardView ... >
            <DxToolbar>
                <DxItem>
                    <DxSelectBox>
                        <!-- SelectBox properties are specified here -->
                    </DxSelectBox>
                </DxItem>
            </DxToolbar>
        </DxCardView>
    </template>
    <script setup lang="ts">
    import { DxCardView, DxToolbar, DxItem } from 'devextreme-vue/card-view';
    import { DxSelectBox } from 'devextreme-vue/select-box';
    </script>
    React

    You can use DevExtreme components as toolbar items. Declare an Item element to add a supported component:

    App.js
    import { SelectBox } from 'devextreme-react/select-box';
    import CardView, { Toolbar, Item } from 'devextreme-react/card-view';
    // ...
    function App() {
        return (
            <CardView ... >
                <Toolbar>
                    <Item>
                        <SelectBox>
                            {/* SelectBox properties are specified here */}
                        </SelectBox>
                    </Item>
                </Toolbar>
            </CardView>
        );
    }
  • Custom controls
    To use a custom control, specify a template.

cssClass

Specifies a CSS class to be applied to the item.

Selector: css-class
Type:

String

| undefined
Default Value: undefined

disabled

Specifies whether the UI component item responds to user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

html

Specifies the HTML markup to be inserted into the item element.

Type:

String

The CardView component evaluates the html property's value. This evaluation, however, makes the CardView potentially vulnerable to XSS attacks. To guard against these attacks, encode the HTML markup before you assign it to the html property. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Potentially Vulnerable API - html.

You can use the text property as a safe alternative.

locateInMenu

Specifies when to display an item in the toolbar's overflow menu.

Selector: locate-in-menu
Default Value: 'never'

location

Specifies toolbar item location.

Default Value: 'after'

menuItemTemplate

Specifies a template that should be used to render a menu item.

Selector: menu-item-template
Type:

template

Template Data: undefined

The following types of the specified value are available.

  • Assign a string containing the name of the required template.
  • Assign a jQuery object of the template's container.
  • Assign a DOM Node of the template's container.
  • Assign a function that returns the jQuery object or a DOM Node of the template's container.

options

Configures the DevExtreme UI component used as a toolbar item.

Type: any
jQuery
$('#toolbar').dxToolbar({
    items: [{
        // ...
        widget: 'dxCheckBox',
        options: {
            text: 'Show IDs'
        },
    }]
});
Angular

options should contain the properties of the DevExtreme UI component specified in the widget property. Because of this dependency, options cannot be typed and are not implemented as nested configuration components. Specify options with an object.

app.component.html
app.module.ts
<dx-toolbar ... >
    <dxi-item
        widget="dxCheckBox"
        [options]="{ text: 'Show IDs' }">

Vue

options should contain the properties of the DevExtreme UI component specified in the widget property. Because of this dependency, options cannot be typed and are not implemented as nested configuration components. Specify options with an object. We recommend that you declare the object outside the configuration component to prevent possible issues caused by unnecessary re-rendering.

App.vue
<template>
    <DxToolbar ... >
        <DxItem ...
            widget="dxCheckBox"
            :options="checkBoxOptions"

<script>

    DxItem
} from 'devextreme-vue/toolbar';

export default {
    components: {
        DxToolbar,
        DxItem
    },
    data() {
        return {
            checkBoxOptions: { text: 'Show IDs' }
        }
    }

            </Toolbar>
        );
    }
}
export default App;
NOTE
If you use the Menu UI component as a toolbar item, the adaptivityEnabled property does not apply.

showText

Specifies when to display the text for the UI component item.
