};

$(function() {
    $("#buttonContainer").dxButton({
        text: 'Show the ActionSheet',
        onClick: function () {
            // Shows the ActionSheet UI component

Note that every data source object has a text field that is rendered on the buttons of the ActionSheet. Also, there is the onClick field that represents a click handler for a certain ActionSheet button.
