jQWidgets jqxDocking exportLayout() Method

Last Updated : 16 Jan, 2023

jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful, optimized, platform-independent, and widely supported framework. The jqxDocking is used for representing a widget to manage multiple windows and also the layout of a web page. Each window in the specified jqxDocking can do multiple tasks such as, it can be dragged around the web page, docked into docking zones, removed from the docking, collapsed into a minimized state for hiding its content, and also can be expanded for displaying its content.

The exportLayout() method is used for exporting the displayed jqxDocking’s layout to a string that is of type JSON. It returns a String.

Syntax:

$('#jqxDocking').jqxDocking('exportLayout');
