jQuery/JS SPA Framework - Markup Components - ViewPlaceholder

A markup component used to define markup options for a view placeholder.

Type:

Object

The dxViewPlaceholder markup component enables you to display a view inside another view as a way of reusing a markup (similar to partial rendering in ASP.NET MVC or ASP.NET user controls). To do this, create an empty div element inside a view markup. To declare this element as the place where another view will be rendered, set the element's data-options attribute to dxViewPlaceholder. Set the viewName configuration option of the dxViewPlaceholder component to the name of the view to be rendered to this placeholder.

HTML
<!--main view-->
<div data-options="dxView: { name: 'mainView', title: 'Home' }">
    <div data-options="dxViewPlaceholder: { viewName: 'content' }"></div>
    <div data-options="dxContent: { targetPlaceholder: 'footer' }">
        <span data-bind="text: footerText"></span>
    </div>
</div>

<!--view part-->
<div data-options="dxView: { name: 'content' }">
    <div data-options="dxContent: { targetPlaceholder: 'content' }">
        <div class="buttonContainer" data-bind="dxButton: { text: 'Click me', onClick: buttonClicked }"></div>
        <div class="mapsContainer" data-bind="dxMap: { center: 'Brooklyn Bridge,New York,NY', zoom: 10 }"></div>
    </div>
</div>
