JavaScript/jQuery List - Expand and Collapse a Group

If the user should be able to collapse or expand a group in the List, set the collapsibleGroups property to true. In this case, the user can collapse or expand a group with a click on the group header.

To collapse or expand a specific group programmatically, call the collapseGroup(groupIndex) or expandGroup(groupIndex) method.

jQuery
JavaScript
const list = $("#listContainer").dxList("instance");
list.collapseGroup(0); // collapses the group with index 0
list.expandGroup(4); // expands the group with index 4
Angular
TypeScript
import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { DxListModule, DxListComponent } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild(DxListComponent, { static: false }) list: DxListComponent;
    // Prior to Angular 8
    // @ViewChild(DxListComponent) list: DxListComponent;
    collapseGroup (groupIndex) {
        this.list.instance.collapseGroup(groupIndex);
    }
    expandGroup (groupIndex) {
        this.list.instance.expandGroup(groupIndex);
    }
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
