accessKey
The value of this option will be passed to the accesskey
attribute of the HTML element that underlies the widget.
allowItemReordering
Specifies whether a user can reorder list items. Grouped items cannot be moved from one group to another.
To obtain items in the same order as they are displayed in the widget, read the items option for jQuery or bind it to a component property for Angular, Vue, and React.

bounceEnabled
If the option is set to true, you can scroll the list content up (down) even if you have reached the bottom (top) boundary. But when you release the content, it returns to the bound position. If the option value is false, you can scroll the list content until you reach the boundary.

collapsibleGroups
This option makes sense if the grouped option is set to true.
If the collapsibleGroups option is set to true, the down arrow is displayed to the right of a group header. An end-user can collapse or expand a group simply clicking the group header.

dataSource
If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Bind Controls to Data article.
The List works with collections of string
values or objects.
Depending on your data source, bind the List to data as follows. If the data source provides objects, also specify the itemTemplate. You can skip this part if the objects contain fields described in the Default Item Template section.
Data Array
Assign the array to the dataSource option.Read-Only Data in JSON Format
Set the dataSource option to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.OData
Implement an ODataStore.Web API, PHP, MongoDB
Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme widgets use:Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.
jQuery
JavaScript$(function() { let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service"; $("#listContainer").dxList({ // ... dataSource: DevExpress.data.AspNet.createStore({ key: "ID", loadUrl: serviceUrl + "/GetAction", insertUrl: serviceUrl + "/InsertAction", updateUrl: serviceUrl + "/UpdateAction", deleteUrl: serviceUrl + "/DeleteAction" }) }) });
Angular

React
App.jsimport React from 'react'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css'; import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css'; import CustomStore from 'devextreme/data/custom_store'; import { createStore } from 'devextreme-aspnet-data-nojquery'; import List from 'devextreme-react/list'; const serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service"; const store = createStore({ key: "ID", loadUrl: serviceUrl + "/GetAction", insertUrl: serviceUrl + "/InsertAction", updateUrl: serviceUrl + "/UpdateAction", deleteUrl: serviceUrl + "/DeleteAction" }); class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <List ... dataSource={store} /> ); } } export default App;
Any other data source
Implement a CustomStore.
Regardless of the data source on the input, the List always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and otherwise shape data. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.
Please review the following notes about data binding:
Do not specify the items option if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.
Data field names should not contain the following characters:
.
,,
,:
,[
, and]
.DataSource and stores provide methods to process and update data. However, the methods do not allow you to perform particular tasks (for example, replace the entire dataset, reconfigure data access at runtime). For such tasks, create a new array, store, or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource option as shown in the articles about changing options in jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue.
displayExpr
Specifies the data field whose values should be displayed. Defaults to "text" when the data source contains objects.
Set this option to the name of a data field that provides displayed values...
displayExpr: "name"
... or to a function that returns the displayed value:
displayExpr: function(item) { // "item" can be null return item && 'ID: ' + item.id + ', Name: ' + item.name; }
Leave this option unspecified or set it to this
if the data source contains primitives.
elementAttr
Specifies the attributes to be attached to the widget's root element.
jQuery
$(function(){ $("#listContainer").dxList({ // ... elementAttr: { id: "elementId", class: "class-name" } }); });
Angular
<dx-list ... [elementAttr]="{ id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' }"> </dx-list>
import { DxListModule } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { // ... } @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxListModule ], // ... })
ASP.NET MVC Controls
@(Html.DevExtreme().List() .ElementAttr("class", "class-name") // ===== or ===== .ElementAttr(new { @id = "elementId", @class = "class-name" }) // ===== or ===== .ElementAttr(new Dictionary<string, object>() { { "id", "elementId" }, { "class", "class-name" } }) )
@(Html.DevExtreme().List() _ .ElementAttr("class", "class-name") ' ===== or ===== .ElementAttr(New With { .id = "elementId", .class = "class-name" }) ' ===== or ===== .ElementAttr(New Dictionary(Of String, Object) From { { "id", "elementId" }, { "class", "class-name" } }) )
groupComponent
An alias for the groupTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a custom component. Refer to Using a Custom Component for more information.
grouped
When this option is true, make sure that all data source objects have the following structure:
var dataSource = [{ key: "Group 1", // Group caption items: [ // Items in the group { ... }, { ... } ] }, { // ... }];
You can supply data to this structure using the DataSource object's group option.
See Also
groupRender
An alias for the groupTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a rendering function. Refer to Using a Rendering Function for more information.
height
This option accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The height in pixels.String

,"80%"
,"inherit"
.Function
A function returning either of the above. For example:JavaScriptheight: function() { return window.innerHeight / 1.5; }
indicateLoading
Specifies whether or not to show the loading panel when the DataSource bound to the widget is loading data.
itemComponent
An alias for the itemTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a custom component. Refer to Using a Custom Component for more information.
itemDeleteMode
Use the ListItemDeleteMode
enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Static
, Toggle
, SlideButton
, SlideItem
, Swipe
, and Context
.
See Also
itemRender
An alias for the itemTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a rendering function. Refer to Using a Rendering Function for more information.
items
Array<String | dxListItem | Object>
If you need to update the widget items, reassign the entire items[] array as shown in the following example:
listInstance.option('items', newItems);
As an alternative to items, you can use the dataSource option. It accepts the DataSource object, whose underlying stores provide an API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.
Particular fields in objects can control the widget's appearance. See Default Templates for more information.
menuMode
Use the ListMenuMode
enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Context
and Slide
.
