JavaScript/jQuery MultiView Options

Default Value: null

The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether or not the widget changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Default Value: false

This option is used when the widget is displayed on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for widgets.

animationEnabled

Specifies whether or not to animate the displayed item change.

Type:

Default Value: true

dataSource

A data source used to fetch data to be displayed by the widget.

Type:

|

Array<String | template>

|

DataSource

DataSource Configuration

Default Value: null

This option accepts one of the following.

Array of objects
A simple JavaScript array containing a collection of plain objects.
URL
The URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.
DataSource or its configuration object
A DataSource is an object that provides a handy API for data processing. A DataSource is a stateful object, which means that it saves data processing settings and applies them each time data is loaded. All underlying data access logic of a DataSource is isolated in a Store. A Store provides an API for reading and modifying data. Unlike the DataSource, a Store is a stateless object.

NOTE

Data field names should not contain the following characters: ., ,, :, [, and ]. Their presence may cause issues in the widget's operation.

If the data source is specified using the dataSource option, use the items option only for reading. Updating data items using the items option may cause unexpected results.

To display widget items, a default template can be used. This template is based on the data source fields that are listed in the Default Item Template section of the widget's API.

deferRendering

Specifies whether to render the view's content when it is displayed. If false, the content is rendered immediately.
