Ext.data.association.HasOne
Alternate names
Ext.data.HasOneAssociationHierarchy
Ext.BaseExt.data.association.AssociationExt.data.association.HasOneFiles
Represents a one to one association with another model. The owner model is expected to have a foreign key which references the primary key of the associated model:
Ext.define('Address', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'id', type: 'int' },
{ name: 'number', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'street', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'city', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'zip', type: 'string' },
]
});
Ext.define('Person', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'id', type: 'int' },
{ name: 'name', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'address_id', type: 'int'}
],
// we can use the hasOne shortcut on the model to create a hasOne association
associations: [{ type: 'hasOne', model: 'Address' }]
});
In the example above we have created models for People and Addresses, and linked them together by saying that each Person has a single Address. This automatically links each Person to an Address based on the Persons address_id, and provides new functions on the Person model:
Generated getter function
The first function that is added to the owner model is a getter function:
var person = new Person({
id: 100,
address_id: 20,
name: 'John Smith'
});
person.getAddress(function(address, operation) {
// do something with the address object
alert(address.get('id')); // alerts 20
}, this);
The getAddress function was created on the Person model when we defined the association. This uses the Persons configured proxy to load the Address asynchronously, calling the provided callback when it has loaded.
The new getAddress function will also accept an object containing success, failure and callback properties - callback will always be called, success will only be called if the associated model was loaded successfully and failure will only be called if the associatied model could not be loaded:
person.getAddress({
reload: true, // force a reload if the owner model is already cached
callback: function(address, operation) {}, // a function that will always be called
success : function(address, operation) {}, // a function that will only be called if the load succeeded
failure : function(address, operation) {}, // a function that will only be called if the load did not succeed
scope : this // optionally pass in a scope object to execute the callbacks in
});
In each case above the callbacks are called with two arguments - the associated model instance and the operation object that was executed to load that instance. The Operation object is useful when the instance could not be loaded.
Once the getter has been called on the model, it will be cached if the getter is called a second time. To force the model to reload, specify reload: true in the options object.
Generated setter function
The second generated function sets the associated model instance - if only a single argument is passed to the setter then the following two calls are identical:
// this call...
person.setAddress(10);
// is equivalent to this call:
person.set('address_id', 10);
An instance of the owner model can also be passed as a parameter.
If we pass in a second argument, the model will be automatically saved and the second argument passed to the owner model's save method:
person.setAddress(10, function(address, operation) {
// the address has been saved
alert(address.get('address_id')); //now alerts 10
});
//alternative syntax:
person.setAddress(10, {
callback: function(address, operation), // a function that will always be called
success : function(address, operation), // a function that will only be called if the load succeeded
failure : function(address, operation), // a function that will only be called if the load did not succeed
scope : this //optionally pass in a scope object to execute the callbacks in
})
Customisation
Associations reflect on the models they are linking to automatically set up properties such as the primaryKey and foreignKey. These can alternatively be specified:
Ext.define('Person', {
fields: [...],
associations: [
{ type: 'hasOne', model: 'Address', primaryKey: 'unique_id', foreignKey: 'addr_id' }
]
});
Here we replaced the default primary key (defaults to 'id') and foreign key (calculated as 'address_id') with our own settings. Usually this will not be needed.
Available since: 4.1.0
Config options
The string name of the model that is being associated with.
NB! This config is required when instantiating the Association directly. When defining the association as a config object inside Model, the model configuration will shadow this config.
Available since: 4.0.0
The name of the property in the data to read the association from. Defaults to the name of the associated model.
Available since: 4.0.0
The name of the foreign key on the owner model that links it to the associated model. Defaults to the lowercased name of the associated model plus "_id", e.g. an association with a model called Person would set up a address_id foreign key.
Ext.define('Person', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: ['id', 'name', 'address_id'], // refers to the id of the address object
hasOne: 'Address'
});
Ext.define('Address', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: ['id', 'number', 'street', 'city', 'zip'],
belongsTo: 'Person'
});
var Person = new Person({
id: 1,
name: 'John Smith',
address_id: 13
}, 1);
person.getAddress(); // Will make a call to the server asking for address_id 13
Available since: 4.1.0
The name of the getter function that will be added to the local model's prototype. Defaults to 'get' + the name of the foreign model, e.g. getAddress
Available since: 4.1.0
The string name of the model that is being associated with.
This config option is to be used when defining the association as a config object within Model. The value is then mapped to associatedModel when Association is instantiated inside Model.
Available since: 4.1.1
The string name of the model that owns the association.
NB! This config is required when instantiating the Association directly. However, it cannot be used at all when defining the association as a config object inside Model, because the name of the model itself will be supplied automatically as the value of this config.
Available since: 4.0.0
The name of the primary key on the associated model. In general this will be the Ext.data.Model.idProperty of the Model.
Defaults to: 'id'
Available since: 4.0.0

A special reader to read associated data
Available since: 4.0.0
The name of the setter function that will be added to the local model's prototype. Defaults to 'set' + the name of the foreign model, e.g. setAddress

Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments

from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)
Returns
- Object
Returns the result of calling the overridden method
Call the "parent" method of the current method. ...Call the "parent" method of the current method. That is the method previously
overridden by derivation or by an override (see Ext.define).
Ext.define('My.Base', {
constructor: function (x) {

});
Ext.define('My.Derived', {
extend: 'My.Base',
constructor: function () {
this.callParent([21]);
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();
alert(obj.x); // alerts 21
This can be used with an override as follows:
Ext.define('My.DerivedOverride', {

constructor: function (x) {
this.callParent([x*2]); // calls original My.Derived constructor
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();

This also works with static methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
extend: 'My.Base',
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Base.method
}
}
});
alert(My.Base.method(10); // alerts 10

from the current method, for example: this.callParent(arguments)
Returns
- Object

This method is used by an override to call the superclass method but bypass any
overridden method. ...This method is used by an override to call the superclass method but bypass any
overridden method. This is often done to "patch" a method that contains a bug
but for whatever reason cannot be fixed directly.
Consider:
Ext.define('Ext.some.Class', {
method: function () {
console.log('Good');
}
});
Ext.define('Ext.some.DerivedClass', {
method: function () {
console.log('Bad');
// ... logic but with a bug ...
this.callParent();
}
});
To patch the bug in DerivedClass.method, the typical solution is to create an
override:
Ext.define('App.paches.DerivedClass', {
override: 'Ext.some.DerivedClass',
method: function () {
console.log('Fixed');
// ... logic but with bug fixed ...
this.callSuper();
}
});
The patch method cannot use callParent to call the superclass method since
that would call the overridden method containing the bug. In other words, the
above patch would only produce "Fixed" then "Good" in the console log, whereas,
using callParent would produce "Fixed" then "Bad" then "Good".

My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()
Available since: 4.0.2
Parameters
- alias : String/Object
The new method name, or an object to set multiple aliases. See flexSetter
- origin : String/Object
The original method name
Get the current class' name in string format.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.getName()); // alerts 'My.cool.Class'
}
});
My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'
Available since: 4.0.4
Returns
- String
className
Adds members to class.
This method has been deprecated since 4.1
Use addMembers instead.
Available since: 4.0.2
Override members of this class. Overridden methods can be invoked via callParent.
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm a cat!");
}
});
My.Cat.override({
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
As of 4.1, direct use of this method is deprecated. Use Ext.define instead:
Ext.define('My.CatOverride', {
override: 'My.Cat',
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
The above accomplishes the same result but can be managed by the Ext.Loader which can properly order the override and its target class and the build process can determine whether the override is needed based on the required state of the target class (My.Cat).
This method has been deprecated since 4.1.0
