Creating & Configure DevExtreme Application
If You Are Creating Project From Start You Can install React Template Using DevExtreme CLI:
npx -p devextreme-cli devextreme new react-app app-name cd app-name npm run start
To switch to another layout, open the src\Content.js
file and replace the SideNavOuterToolbar
import with SideNavInnerToolbar
:
import { SideNavInnerToolbar as SideNavBarLayout, SingleCard } from './layouts';
To generate a new application with an inner toolbar, set the --layout
flag to side-nav-inner-toolbar
:
npx devextreme-cli new react-app app-name --layout=side-nav-inner-toolbar cd app-name npm run start
It is a basic application with a navigation menu and a few sample views in a responsive design.
Add a New View:
Run the following command to add a new view. --icon
specifies an icon from the DevExtreme icon library.
npx devextreme add view view-name [--icon=IconName]
You will find the view you have added in the src\pages
folder. This command also generates a navigation menu item for the added view in the file src\app-navigation.js
.
Configure the Navigation Menu:
Configure Menu Items
Edit the file src\app-navigation.js
to customize navigation menu items. The following fields can be used for each item configuration:
- text – the item’s text
- icon – the item’s icon
- path – a navigation path associated with the item
- items – child items
{ text: 'Category', icon: 'folder', items: [{ text: 'About', path: '/about' }] }
A menu item should either navigate to a page OR include subitems. For that reason, do not specify both path and items for the same menu item.
Hide the Menu in the Closed State
In the closed state, the navigation menu is partially visible because it displays item icons. If the items do not have icons, you can hide the menu. To do this, open the SideNavOuterToolbar
or SideNavInnerToolbar
component (depending on the used layout), find the Drawer configuration, and set its minSize
property to 0:
// ... export default function ({ title, children }) { // ... return ( <div className={'side-nav-inner-toolbar'}> <Drawer ... minSize={0}> {/* ... */} </Drawer> </div> ); }
Add a Custom Toolbar Item
The application template uses the DevExtreme Toolbar component. The Toolbar is part of the Header
component whose configuration is in the src\components\header\header.js
file. To add a custom toolbar item, open this file and add an Item
element inside Toolbar
. Refer to the items help section for information on Item attributes.
The following code adds a search button to the toolbar:
// ... export default ({ ..., search }) => ( <header className={'header-component'}> <Toolbar className={'header-toolbar'}> {/* ... */} <Item location="after"> <Button icon="search" onClick={search} /> </Item> {/* ... */} </Toolbar> </header> )
// ... export default function ({ title, children }) { // ... const search = useCallback(() => { console.log("search"); }, []); return ( <div className={'side-nav-outer-toolbar'}> <Header ... search={search} /> {/* ... */} </div> ); }
In the code above, the button click handler is declared in the SideNavOuterToolbar
component. This component applies when the outer toolbar layout is used. If the application uses the inner toolbar layout, add the same code to the SideNavInnerToolbar
component.
