JavaScript/jQuery Pivot API Deprecated

NOTE
The Pivot widget is deprecated since v18.1. We recommend using the TabPanel widget instead.

The Pivot provides a quick way to manage multiple views. It includes a collection of views and a navigation header. An end user switches the views by swiping them or by clicking their titles on the navigation header.

DevExtreme widgets are integrated with many popular libraries and frameworks. See the Installation section (for JavaScript libraries) or the Prerequisites and Installation section (for ASP.NET MVC framework) to find details on setting up DevExtreme with a particular library or framework.

The following code shows how to create the Pivot widget using every supported library and framework. For more details on working with widgets in these libraries and frameworks, see the Widget Basics topic for jQuery, Angular, AngularJS, Knockout or ASP.NET MVC.
