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 Resizable UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery

JavaScript

DevExpress.ui.dxResizable.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the Resizable options
    }
});

Angular

TypeScript

import Resizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        Resizable.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the Resizable options
            }
        });
    }
}

Vue

<template>
    <div>
        <DxResizable id="resizable1" />
        <DxResizable id="resizable2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxResizable from "devextreme-vue/resizable";
import Resizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";

Resizable.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the Resizable options
    }
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxResizable
    }
}
</script>

React

import React from "react";
import dxResizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";
import Resizable from "devextreme-react/resizable";

class App extends React.Component {
    render () {
        dxResizable.defaultOptions({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the Resizable options
            }
        })
        return (
            <div>
                <Resizable id="resizable1" />
                <Resizable id="resizable2" />
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default App;

dispose()

Disposes of all the resources allocated to the Resizable instance.

After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:

JavaScript

$("#myResizable").dxResizable("dispose");
$("#myResizable").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

app.component.html

<dx-resizable ...
    *ngIf="condition">
</dx-resizable>

Vue

App.vue

<template>
    <DxResizable ...
        v-if="condition">
    </DxResizable>
</template>

<script>
import DxResizable from 'devextreme-vue/resizable';

export default {
    components: {
        DxResizable
    }
}
</script>

React

App.js

import React from 'react';

import Resizable from 'devextreme-react/resizable';

function DxResizable(props) {
    if (!props.shouldRender) {
        return null;
    }

    return (
        <Resizable ... >    
        </Resizable>
    );
}

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <DxResizable shouldRender="condition" />
        );
    }
}
export default App;

// Modular approach
import Resizable from "devextreme/ui/resizable";
...
let element = document.getElementById("myResizable");
let instance = Resizable.getInstance(element) as Resizable;
