JavaScript/jQuery TileView Options

An object defining configuration options for the TileView widget.

See Also

accessKey

Specifies the shortcut key that sets focus on the widget.

Type:

String

Default Value: null

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

activeStateEnabled

A Boolean value specifying whether or not the widget changes its state when interacting with a user.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

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

baseItemHeight

Specifies the height of the base tile view item.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 100

The actual item height equals the heightRatio field value of an item multiplied by the value of this option.

baseItemWidth

Specifies the width of the base tile view item.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 100

The actual item width equals the widthRatio value of an item multiplied by the value of this option.

dataSource

Binds the widget to data.

If you use DevExtreme ASP.NET MVC Controls, refer to the Bind Controls to Data article.

The TileView works with collections of string values or objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the TileView 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.

    JavaScript
    $(function() {
        let serviceUrl = "https://url/to/my/service";

                key: "ID",
                loadUrl: serviceUrl + "/GetAction",

        }
    }
    export default App;
  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the TileView 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.

NOTE

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.

direction

Specifies whether tiles are placed horizontally or vertically.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'horizontal'
Accepted Values: 'horizontal' | 'vertical'

Use the Orientation 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: Horizontal and Vertical.

  • Number
    The height in pixels.

  • String
    A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "80%", "inherit".

  • Function

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

hoverStateEnabled

Specifies whether the widget changes its state when a user pauses on it.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 750

itemMargin

Specifies the distance in pixels between adjacent tiles.

An alias for the itemTemplate option specified in React. Accepts a rendering function. Refer to Using a Rendering Function for more information.

items

Raised Events: onOptionChanged

If you need to update the widget items, reassign the entire items[] array as shown in the following example:

JavaScript
tileViewInstance.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.

NOTE
Do not use the items option if you use dataSource, and vice versa.

Particular fields in objects can control the widget's appearance. See Default Templates for more information.
