JavaScript/jQuery Slider Methods
beginUpdate()
Prevents the UI component from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

defaultOptions(rule)
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 Slider UI component in an application executed on the desktop.
jQuery
DevExpress.ui.dxSlider.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Slider properties } });
Angular
import Slider, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/slider"; // ... export class AppComponent { constructor () { Slider.defaultOptions<Properties>({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Slider properties } }); } }
Vue
<template> <div> <DxSlider id="slider1" /> <DxSlider id="slider2" /> </div> </template> <script> import DxSlider from "devextreme-vue/slider"; import Slider from "devextreme/ui/slider"; Slider.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Slider properties } }); export default { components: { DxSlider } } </script>
React
import dxSlider from "devextreme/ui/slider"; import Slider from "devextreme-react/slider"; dxSlider.defaultOptions({ device: { deviceType: "desktop" }, options: { // Here go the Slider properties } }); export default function App() { return ( <div> <Slider id="slider1" /> <Slider id="slider2" /> </div> ) }
dispose()
jQuery
After calling this method, remove the DOM element associated with the UI component:
$("#mySlider").dxSlider("dispose"); $("#mySlider").remove();
Angular
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<dx-slider ... *ngIf="condition"> </dx-slider>
Vue
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
<template> <DxSlider ... v-if="condition"> </DxSlider> </template> <script> import DxSlider from 'devextreme-vue/slider'; export default { components: { DxSlider } } </script>
React
Use conditional rendering instead of this method:
import React from 'react'; import Slider from 'devextreme-react/slider'; function DxSlider(props) { if (!props.shouldRender) { return null; } return ( <Slider ... > </Slider> ); } class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <DxSlider shouldRender="condition" /> ); } } export default App;
endUpdate()
Refreshes the UI component after a call of the beginUpdate() method.
