JavaScript/jQuery ActionSheet - Customize Item Appearance

For a minor customization of ActionSheet buttons, you can define specific fields in button data objects. For example, the following code generates three buttons, the first is not customized, the second is disabled, the type of the third button is danger.

JQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#actionSheetContainer").dxActionSheet({
        dataSource: [
            { text: "Reply" },
            { text: "Reply All", disabled: true },
            { text: "Delete", type: 'danger' }
        ]
    });
});
Angular
HTML
TypeScript
<dx-action-sheet
    [dataSource]="actionSheetData"
</dx-action-sheet>
import { DxActionSheetModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    actionSheetData = [
        { text: "Reply" },
        { text: "Reply All", disabled: true },
        { text: "Delete", type: 'danger' }
    ]
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxActionSheetModule
    ],
    // ...
})
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxActionSheet
        :data-source="actionSheetData"
    </DxActionSheet>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import DxActionSheet from 'devextreme-vue/action-sheet';

export default {
    components: {
        DxActionSheet
    },
    data() {
        return {
            actionSheetData: [
                { text: "Reply" },
                { text: "Reply All", disabled: true },
                { text: "Delete", type: 'danger' }
            ]
        };
    }
}
</script>
React
import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { ActionSheet } from 'devextreme-react/action-sheet';

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.actionSheetData = [
            { text: "Reply" },
            { text: "Reply All", disabled: true },
            { text: "Delete", type: 'danger' }
        ];
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <ActionSheet
                dataSource={this.actionSheetData}
            />
        );
    }
}

export default App;

If you need a more flexible solution, define an itemTemplate. In Angular and Vue, you can declare it in the markup. In React, you can use a rendering function (shown in the code below) or component:

Angular
HTML
TypeScript
CSS
<dx-action-sheet
    [dataSource]="actionSheetData"
    [visible]="isActionSheetVisible"
    itemTemplate="link">
    <div *dxTemplate="let item of 'link'">
        <div class="action-sheet-button">
            <a href="#">{{item.text}}</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</dx-action-sheet>
import { DxActionSheetModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    actionSheetData = [
        { text: "Reply" },
        { text: "Reply All" },
        { text: "Forward" },
        { text: "Delete" }
    ];
    isActionSheetVisible: Boolean = true;
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxActionSheetModule
    ],
    // ...
})
.action-sheet-button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px dotted #080;
    background-color: white;
}
Vue
App.vue
<template>
    <DxActionSheet
        :visible.sync="isActionSheetVisible"
        :data-source="actionSheetData"
        item-template="link">
        <template #link="{ data }">
            <div class="action-sheet-button">
                <a href="#">{{data.text}}</a>
            </div>
        </template>
    </DxActionSheet>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import DxActionSheet from 'devextreme-vue/action-sheet';

export default {
    components: {
        DxActionSheet
    },
    data() {
        return {
            isActionSheetVisible: true,
            actionSheetData: [
                { text: "Reply" },
                { text: "Reply All" },
                { text: "Forward" },
                { text: "Delete" }
            ]
        };
    }
}
</script>

<style>
.action-sheet-button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px dotted #080;
    background-color: white;
}
</style>
React
App.js
styles.css
import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { ActionSheet } from 'devextreme-react/action-sheet';

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = { isActionSheetVisible: true };
        this.actionSheetData = [
            { text: "Reply" },
            { text: "Reply All" },
            { text: "Forward" },
            { text: "Delete" }
        ];
        this.renderActionSheetItem = (itemData) => {
            return (
                <div class="action-sheet-button">
                    <a href="#">{itemData.text}</a>
                </div>
            );
        };
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <ActionSheet
                visible={this.state.isActionSheetVisible}
                dataSource={this.actionSheetData}
                itemRender={this.renderActionSheetItem}
            />
        );
    }
}

export default App;
.action-sheet-button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px dotted #080;
    background-color: white;
}

If you use jQuery alone, use DOM manipulation methods to combine the HTML markup for items. To apply this markup, use the itemTemplate callback function as shown in the following code.

JavaScript
CSS
$(function() {
    $("#actionSheetContainer").dxActionSheet({
        dataSource: [
            { text: "Reply", icon: 'arrowleft' },
            { text: "Reply All", icon: 'arrowleft' },
            { text: "Forward", icon: 'arrowright' },
            { text: "Delete", icon: 'close' }
        ],
        itemTemplate: function (itemData, itemIndex, itemElement) {
            const linkContainer = $("<div class='action-sheet-button'>");
            linkContainer.append("<a href='#'>" + itemData.text + "</a>");
            itemElement.append(linkContainer);
        }
    });
});
.action-sheet-button {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px dotted #080;
    background-color: white;
}

You can also customize an individual ActionSheet button. For this purpose, declare a template for this button as a script and pass its id to the template field.

HTML
JavaScript
<script id="individualTemplate" type="text/html">
    <!-- ... -->
</script>
const actionSheetData = [
    { text: "Reply", template: $('#individualTemplate') },
    { text: "Reply All" },
    // ...
];

In addition, you can use a 3rd-party template engine to customize UI component appearance. For more information, see the 3rd-Party Template Engines article.
