JavaScript/jQuery SlideOut Options

An object defining configuration properties for the SlideOut UI component.

activeStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its state as a result of user interaction.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

The UI component switches to the active state when users press down the primary mouse button. When this property is set to true, the CSS rules for the active state apply. You can change these rules to customize the component.

Use this property when you display the component on a platform whose guidelines include the active state change for UI components.

contentTemplate

Specifies a custom template for the UI component content. Rendered only once - when the UI component is created.

Type:

template

Template Data: undefined
Default Name: 'content'

Use to manage the content regardless of which view is selected. You can use the onSelectionChanged property to manually update the content when a title is clicked.

If this property is defined, the itemTemplate property is ignored.

See Also

dataSource

Binds the UI component to data.

Default Value: null

The SlideOut works with collections of string values or objects.

Depending on your data source, bind the SlideOut to data as follows. If the data source provides objects, also specify the itemTemplate. You can skip this part if the objects contain fields described in the items section.

  • Data Array
    Assign the array to the dataSource option.

  • Read-Only Data in JSON Format
    Set the dataSource property to the URL of a JSON file or service that returns JSON data.

  • OData
    Implement an ODataStore.

  • Web API, PHP, MongoDB
    Use one of the following extensions to enable the server to process data according to the protocol DevExtreme UI components use:

    Then, use the createStore method to configure access to the server on the client as shown below. This method is part of DevExtreme.AspNet.Data.

  • Any other data source
    Implement a CustomStore.

Regardless of the data source on the input, the SlideOut always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.

NOTE

Review the following notes about data binding:

  • Do not specify the items property if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.

  • Data field names cannot be equal to this and should not contain the following characters: ., :, [, and ].

jQuery
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Get and Set Properties.
Angular
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Two-Way Property Binding.
Vue
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Two-Way Property Binding.
React
  • The stores are immutable. You cannot change their configurations at runtime. Instead, create a new store or DataSource and assign it to the dataSource property as shown in the following help topic: Controlled Mode.

height

Specifies the UI component's height.

Type:

Number

|

String

|

Function

Return Value:

Number

|

String

The UI component's height.

Default Value: undefined

This property accepts a value of one of the following types:

  • Number
    The height in pixels.

  • String
    A CSS-accepted measurement of height. For example, "55px", "20vh", "80%", "inherit".

  • Function (deprecated since v21.2)
    Refer to the W0017 warning description for information on how you can migrate to viewport units.

hint

Specifies text for a hint that appears when a user pauses on the UI component.

Type:

String

Default Value: undefined

hoverStateEnabled

Specifies whether the UI component changes its state when a user pauses on it.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

itemHoldTimeout

The time period in milliseconds before the onItemHold event is raised.

Type:

Number

Default Value: 750

items[]

An array of items displayed by the UI component.

Type:

Array<String | dxSlideOutItem | any>

Raised Events: onOptionChanged

The items array can contain:

  • Strings
  • Objects with fields described in this section
  • Objects with any other fields. In this case, specify the itemTemplate.

If you need to update the UI component items, reassign the entire items array as shown in the following example:

JavaScript
slideOutInstance.option('items', newItems);

As an alternative to items, you can use the dataSource property. It accepts the DataSource object, whose underlying stores provide an API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.

NOTE
Do not use the items property if you use dataSource, and vice versa.

itemTemplate

Specifies a custom template for items.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

The item object to be rendered.

Default Name: 'item'

See Also

menuGrouped

A Boolean value specifying whether or not to display a grouped menu.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

If this property is set to true, the object assigned to the items property should include the key and items properties. The key property specifies the group caption in the menu. The items property represents an array listing group items.

menuGroupTemplate

Specifies a custom template for group captions.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

The current group's data.

Default Name: 'menuGroup'

See Also

menuItemTemplate

Specifies a custom template for menu items.

Type:

template

Template Data:

Object

The current menu item's data.

Default Name: 'menuItem'

See Also

menuPosition

Specifies the current menu position.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'normal'
Accepted Values: 'inverted' | 'normal'

Normally, the menu is located at the left side of the screen. Assign "inverted" to this property to display the menu at the opposite side.

menuVisible

Specifies whether or not the slide-out menu is displayed.

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: false

noDataText

Specifies the text or HTML markup displayed by the UI component if the item collection is empty.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'No data to display'

The SlideOut component evaluates the noDataText property's value. This evaluation, however, makes the SlideOut potentially vulnerable to XSS attacks. To guard against these attacks, encode the HTML markup before you assign it to the noDataText property. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Potentially Vulnerable API - noDataText.
