JavaScript/jQuery MultiView - Customize Item Appearance
To customize views in the MultiView, 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.
If you use jQuery, use DOM manipulation methods to combine the HTML markup for MultiView views. To apply this markup, use the itemTemplate callback function as shown in the following code:
- var multiViewItems = [{
- title: "Personal Data",
- data: { firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith", birthYear: 1986 }
- }, {
- title: "Contacts",
- data: { phone: "(555)555-5555", email: "John.Smith@example.com" }
- }];
- $(function() {
- $("#multiViewContainer").dxMultiView({
- dataSource: multiViewItems,
- itemTemplate: function(itemData, itemIndex, itemElement) {
- var container = $("<div style='margin:25px;'>");
- container.append("<h1>" + itemData.title + "</h1>");
- var info = $("<div style='text-align:left;'>");
- for (var field in itemData.data) {
- info.append("<p>" + field + ": <b>" + itemData.data[field] + "</b></p>");
- }
- container.append(info);
- itemElement.append(container);
- }
- });
- });
- <div id="multiViewContainer"></div>
You can also customize individual views. In Angular, Vue, and React, declare them using the dxItem component. When using jQuery, you can declare the views as scripts and reference them in the template property or assign a customization function straight to this property.
- $(function() {
- $("#multiViewContainer").dxMultiView({
- dataSource: [{
- text: "Personal Data",
- template: function() {
- return $("<p>").text("This is Personal Data View");
- }
- }, {
- text: "Contacts",
- template: $("#individualTemplate")
- }]
- });
- });
- <div id="multiViewContainer"></div>
- <script id="individualTemplate" type="text/html">
- <p>This is Contacts View</p>
- </script>
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.
