DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Overview
The SelectBox widget is an editor that allows an end user to select an item from a drop-down list.
The following code adds the SelectBox to your page. The simplest configuration of the widget requires only a dataSource to be specified. In addition, you can specify the placeholder to be displayed when the SelectBox is empty.
HTML
JavaScript
- <div id="selectBoxContainer"></div>
- $(function() {
- $("#selectBoxContainer").dxSelectBox({
- dataSource: [
- "HD Video Player",
- "SuperHD Video Player",
- "SuperPlasma 50",
- // ...
- ],
- placeholder: "Select a product..."
- });
- });
If your data is an array of objects, specify:
- valueExpr
The data field whose value will be written into the value option. - displayExpr
The data field whose value will be displayed in the drop-down list and in the input field of the widget.
JavaScript
- var selectBoxData = [
- { id: 1, country: "Afghanistan" },
- { id: 2, country: "Albania" },
- // ...
- ];
- $(function() {
- $("#selectBoxContainer").dxSelectBox({
- dataSource: selectBoxData,
- valueExpr: 'id',
- displayExpr: 'country'
- });
- });
