defaultOptions(rule)
Specifies the device-dependent default configuration properties for this component.
The component's default device properties.
defaultOptions is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the Popover UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxPopover.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Popover options } });
Angular
import Popover from "devextreme/ui/popover"; // ... export class AppComponent { constructor () { Popover.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Popover options } }); } }
Vue
<template> <div> <DxPopover id="popover1" /> <DxPopover id="popover2" /> </div> </template> <script> import DxPopover from "devextreme-vue/popover"; import Popover from "devextreme/ui/popover"; Popover.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Popover options } }); export default { components: { DxPopover } } </script>
React
import React from "react"; import dxPopover from "devextreme/ui/popover"; import Popover from "devextreme-react/popover"; class App extends React.Component { render () { dxPopover.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Popover options } }) return ( <div> <Popover id="popover1" /> <Popover id="popover2" /> </div> ) } } export default App;
dispose()
Disposes of all the resources allocated to the Popover instance.
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#myPopover").dxPopover("dispose"); $("#myPopover").remove();
Use this method only if the UI component was created with jQuery or pure JavaScript. In Angular, Vue, and React, use conditional rendering:
Angular
<dx-popover ... *ngIf="condition"> </dx-popover>
Vue
<template> <DxPopover ... v-if="condition"> </DxPopover> </template> <script> import DxPopover from 'devextreme-vue/popover'; export default { components: { DxPopover } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import Popover from 'devextreme-react/popover'; function DxPopover(props) { if (!props.shouldRender) { return null; } return ( <Popover ... > </Popover> ); } class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <DxPopover shouldRender="condition" /> ); } } export default App;
