Introduction to DevExtreme Widgets
DevExtreme is a powerful UI component suite based on JavaScript and designed for building high-performing mobile and web applications. It provides a rich set of controls that are highly customizable and responsive, making it suitable for modern web development. Among its many components, buttons play a vital role in user interaction, often serving as triggers for actions or commands.
In this article, we’ll explore how to change button icons dynamically at runtime in DevExtreme widgets using JavaScript. This capability not only enriches the user experience but also allows developers to create interfaces that respond to various application states or user actions, offering a more interactive feel.
We will start with an overview of how to set up our environment to work with DevExtreme components, and then we’ll delve into the core functionality of changing button icons programmatically.
Setting Up Your DevExtreme Environment
Before we jump into changing button icons, it’s crucial to set up your development environment correctly. DevExtreme can be integrated into projects built with various frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js, and it can also be used in traditional HTML and JavaScript setups. For this example, we will create a simple HTML page using vanilla JavaScript.
First, ensure you have the DevExtreme library included in your project. You can do this by either downloading it via npm (if you’re using Node.js) or by including it via CDN links in your HTML file. Here’s an example:
