The LocalStorageProxy uses the new HTML5 localStorage API to save Model data locally on the client browser. HTML5 localStorage is a key-value store (e.g. cannot save complex objects like JSON), so LocalStorageProxy automatically serializes and deserializes data when saving and retrieving it.
localStorage is extremely useful for saving user-specific information without needing to build server-side infrastructure to support it. Let's imagine we're writing a Twitter search application and want to save the user's searches locally so they can easily perform a saved search again later. We'd start by creating a Search model:
Ext.define('Search', {
fields: ['id', 'query'],
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
proxy: {
type: 'localstorage',
id : 'twitter-Searches'
}
});
Our Search model contains just two fields - id and query - plus a Proxy definition. The only configuration we need to pass to the LocalStorage proxy is an id. This is important as it separates the Model data in this Proxy from all others. The localStorage API puts all data into a single shared namespace, so by setting an id we enable LocalStorageProxy to manage the saved Search data.
Saving our data into localStorage is easy and would usually be done with a Store:
//our Store automatically picks up the LocalStorageProxy defined on the Search model
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: "Search"
});
//loads any existing Search data from localStorage
store.load();
//now add some Searches
store.add({query: 'Sencha Touch'});
store.add({query: 'Ext JS'});
//finally, save our Search data to localStorage
store.sync();
The LocalStorageProxy automatically gives our new Searches an id when we call store.sync(). It encodes the Model data and places it into localStorage. We can also save directly to localStorage, bypassing the Store altogether:
var search = Ext.create('Search', {query: 'Sencha Animator'});
//uses the configured LocalStorageProxy to save the new Search to localStorage
search.save();
Limitations
If this proxy is used in a browser where local storage is not supported, the constructor will throw an error. A local storage proxy requires a unique ID which is used as a key in which all record data are stored in the local storage object.
It's important to supply this unique ID as it cannot be reliably determined otherwise. If no id is provided but the attached store has a storeId, the storeId will be used. If neither option is presented the proxy will throw an error.

A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching multiple handlers at once.
DOM events from Ext JS Components
While some Ext JS Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this is usually
only done when extra value can be added. For example the DataView's itemclick event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM events directly from a
child element of a Component, we need to specify the element option to identify the Component property to add a
DOM listener to:
new Ext.panel.Panel({
width: 400,
height: 200,
dockedItems: [{
xtype: 'toolbar'
}],
listeners: {
click: {
element: 'el', //bind to the underlying el property on the panel
fn: function(){ console.log('click el'); }
},
dblclick: {
element: 'body', //bind to the underlying body property on the panel
fn: function(){ console.log('dblclick body'); }
}
}
});

Parameters
- config : Object (optional)
Config object.
Returns
Overrides: Ext.data.proxy.Proxy.constructor
addEvents( eventNames )Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire. ...Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
Appends an event handler to this object. ...Appends an event handler to this object. For example:
myGridPanel.on("mouseover", this.onMouseOver, this);
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object
containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: this.onCellClick,
mouseover: this.onMouseOver,
mouseout: this.onMouseOut,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: this.onCellClick, scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: panel.onMouseOver, scope: panel}
});
Names of methods in a specified scope may also be used. Note that
scope MUST be specified to use this option:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: 'onMouseOver', scope: panel}
});
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- eventName : String/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
May also be an object who's property names are event names.
- fn : Function (optional)
The method the event invokes, or if scope is specified, the name* of the method within
the specified scope. Will be called with arguments
given to fireEvent plus the options parameter described below.
- scope : Object (optional)
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is
executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
- options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Note: Unlike in ExtJS 3.x, the options object will also be passed as the last
argument to every event handler.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
- scope : Object
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted,
defaults to the object which fired the event.
- delay : Number
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
- single : Boolean
True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
- buffer : Number
Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed
by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time,
the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
- target : Ext.util.Observable
Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event
was bubbled up from a child Observable.
- element : String
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components.
The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.
This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of
Components which will exist only after the Component is rendered.
For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:
new Ext.panel.Panel({
title: 'The title',
listeners: {
click: this.handlePanelClick,
element: 'body'
}
});
- destroyable : Boolean (optional)
When specified as true, the function returns A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call.
Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener.
myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
Defaults to: false
Returns
- Object
Only when the destroyable option is specified.
A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:
this.btnListeners = = myButton.on({
destroyable: true
mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
click: function() { console.log('click'); }
});
And when those listeners need to be removed:
Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);
or
this.btnListeners.destroy();
Overrides: Ext.AbstractComponent.addListener

destroyed.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.Element
The item to which to add a listener/listeners.
- ename : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
- fn : Function (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
- scope : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the scope (this reference)
in which the handler function is executed.
- options : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the
addListener options.
Returns
- Object
Only when the destroyable option is specified.
A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:
this.btnListeners = = myButton.mon({
destroyable: true
mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
click: function() { console.log('click'); }
});
And when those listeners need to be removed:
Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);
or
this.btnListeners.destroy();
Performs a batch of Operations, in the order specified by batchOrder. ...Performs a batch of Operations, in the order specified by batchOrder. Used
internally by Ext.data.Store's sync method. Example usage:
myProxy.batch({
create : [myModel1, myModel2],
update : [myModel3],
destroy: [myModel4, myModel5]
});
Where the myModel* above are Model instances - in this case 1 and 2 are new instances and
have not been saved before, 3 has been saved previously but needs to be updated, and 4 and 5 have already been
saved but should now be destroyed.
Note that the previous version of this method took 2 arguments (operations and listeners). While this is still
supported for now, the current signature is now a single options argument that can contain both operations and
listeners, in addition to other options. The multi-argument signature will likely be deprecated in a future release.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- options : Object
Object containing one or more properties supported by the batch method:
- operations : Object
Object containing the Model instances to act upon, keyed by action name
- listeners : Object (optional)
Event listeners object passed straight through to the Batch -
see Ext.data.Batch for details
- batch : Ext.data.Batch/Object (optional)
A Ext.data.Batch object (or batch config to apply
to the created batch). If unspecified a default batch will be auto-created.
- callback : Function (optional)
The function to be called upon completion of processing the batch.
The callback is called regardless of success or failure and is passed the following parameters:
Parameters
- batch : Ext.data.Batch
The batch that was processed,
containing all operations in their current state after processing
- options : Object
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
- success : Function (optional)
The function to be called upon successful completion of the batch. The
success function is called only if no exceptions were reported in any operations. If one or more exceptions
occurred then the failure function will be called instead. The success function is called
with the following parameters:
Parameters
- batch : Ext.data.Batch
The batch that was processed,
containing all operations in their current state after processing
- options : Object
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
- failure : Function (optional)
The function to be called upon unsuccessful completion of the batch. The
failure function is called when one or more operations returns an exception during processing (even if some
operations were also successful). In this case you can check the batch's exceptions array to see exactly which operations had exceptions. The failure function is called with the
following parameters:
Parameters
- batch : Ext.data.Batch
The batch that was processed,
containing all operations in their current state after processing
- options : Object
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
- scope : Object (optional)
The scope in which to execute any callbacks (i.e. the this object inside
the callback, success and/or failure functions). Defaults to the proxy.
Returns
- Ext.data.Batch
The newly created Batch

This method has been deprecated
as of 4.1. Use callParent instead.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
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) {
this.x = x;
},
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return 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', {
override: 'My.Derived',
constructor: function (x) {
this.callParent([x*2]); // calls original My.Derived constructor
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();
alert(obj.x); // now alerts 42
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
alert(My.Derived2.method(10); // alerts 20
Lastly, it also works with overridden static methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2Override', {
override: 'My.Derived2',
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Derived2.method
}
}
});
alert(My.Derived2.method(10); // now alerts 40
To override a method and replace it and also call the superclass method, use
callSuper. This is often done to patch a method to fix a bug.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callParent(arguments)
Returns
- Object
Returns the result of calling the parent method
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".
Available since: Ext JS 4.1.3
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object

- scope : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the scope (this reference)
in which the handler function is executed.
- options : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the
addListener options.
Returns
- Object
Only when the destroyable option is specified.
A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:
this.btnListeners = = myButton.mon({
destroyable: true
mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
click: function() { console.log('click'); }
});
And when those listeners need to be removed:
Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);
or
this.btnListeners.destroy();
mun( item, ename, [fn], [scope] )Shorthand for removeManagedListener. ...Shorthand for removeManagedListener.
Removes listeners that were added by the mon method.
Available since: 4.0.2
Parameters
- item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.Element
The item from which to remove a listener/listeners.
- ename : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
- fn : Function (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
- scope : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the scope (this reference)
in which the handler function is executed.
Shorthand for addListener. ...Shorthand for addListener.
Appends an event handler to this object. For example:
myGridPanel.on("mouseover", this.onMouseOver, this);
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object
containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: this.onCellClick,
mouseover: this.onMouseOver,
mouseout: this.onMouseOut,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: this.onCellClick, scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: panel.onMouseOver, scope: panel}
});
Names of methods in a specified scope may also be used. Note that
scope MUST be specified to use this option:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: 'onMouseOver', scope: panel}
});
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- eventName : String/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
May also be an object who's property names are event names.
- fn : Function (optional)
The method the event invokes, or if scope is specified, the name* of the method within
the specified scope. Will be called with arguments
given to fireEvent plus the options parameter described below.
- scope : Object (optional)
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is
executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
- options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Note: Unlike in ExtJS 3.x, the options object will also be passed as the last
argument to every event handler.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
- scope : Object
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted,
defaults to the object which fired the event.
- delay : Number
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
- single : Boolean
True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
- buffer : Number
Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed
by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time,
the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
- target : Ext.util.Observable
Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event
was bubbled up from a child Observable.
- element : String
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components.
The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.
This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of
Components which will exist only after the Component is rendered.
For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:
new Ext.panel.Panel({
title: 'The title',
listeners: {
click: this.handlePanelClick,
element: 'body'
}
});
- destroyable : Boolean (optional)
When specified as true, the function returns A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call.
Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener.
myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
Defaults to: false
Returns
- Object
Only when the destroyable option is specified.
A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:
this.btnListeners = = myButton.on({
destroyable: true
mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
click: function() { console.log('click'); }
});

Relays selected events from the specified Observable as if the events were fired by this. ...Relays selected events from the specified Observable as if the events were fired by this.
For example if you are extending Grid, you might decide to forward some events from store.
So you can do this inside your initComponent:
this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load']);
The grid instance will then have an observable 'load' event which will be passed the
parameters of the store's load event and any function fired with the grid's load event
would have access to the grid using the this keyword.
Available since: 2.3.0
Parameters
- origin : Object
The Observable whose events this object is to relay.
- events : String[]
Array of event names to relay.
- prefix : String (optional)
A common prefix to prepend to the event names. For example:
this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load', 'clear'], 'store');
Now the grid will forward 'load' and 'clear' events of store as 'storeload' and 'storeclear'.
Returns
- Object
A Destroyable object. An object which implements the destroy method which, when destroyed, removes all relayers. For example:
this.storeRelayers = this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load', 'clear'], 'store');

Performs a batch of Operations, in the order specified by batchOrder. Used internally by Ext.data.Store's sync method. Example usage:
myProxy.batch({
create : [myModel1, myModel2],
update : [myModel3],
destroy: [myModel4, myModel5]
});
Where the myModel* above are Model instances - in this case 1 and 2 are new instances and have not been saved before, 3 has been saved previously but needs to be updated, and 4 and 5 have already been saved but should now be destroyed.
Note that the previous version of this method took 2 arguments (operations and listeners). While this is still
supported for now, the current signature is now a single options argument that can contain both operations and
listeners, in addition to other options. The multi-argument signature will likely be deprecated in a future release.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- options : Object
Object containing one or more properties supported by the batch method:
- operations : Object
Object containing the Model instances to act upon, keyed by action name
- listeners : Object (optional)
Event listeners object passed straight through to the Batch - see Ext.data.Batch for details

Call the original method that was previously overridden with override
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.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
This method has been deprecated
as of 4.1. Use callParent instead.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the
argumentsobject 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. That is the method previously overridden by derivation or by an override (see Ext.define).
Ext.define('My.Base', {
constructor: function (x) {
this.x = x;
},
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return 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', {
override: 'My.Derived',
constructor: function (x) {
this.callParent([x*2]); // calls original My.Derived constructor
}
});
var obj = new My.Derived();
alert(obj.x); // now alerts 42
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
alert(My.Derived2.method(10); // alerts 20
Lastly, it also works with overridden static methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2Override', {
override: 'My.Derived2',
statics: {
method: function (x) {
return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Derived2.method
}
}
});
alert(My.Derived2.method(10); // now alerts 40
To override a method and replace it and also call the superclass method, use callSuper. This is often done to patch a method to fix a bug.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the
argumentsobject from the current method, for example:this.callParent(arguments)
Returns
- Object
Returns the result of calling the parent 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".
Available since: Ext JS 4.1.3
Parameters
- args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the
argumentsobject from the current method, for example:this.callSuper(arguments)
Returns
- Object
Returns the result of calling the superclass method

Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if
present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class.
This is commonly used by Ext.Components to bubble events to owner Containers. See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget. The default implementation in Ext.Component returns the Component's immediate owner. But if a known target is required, this can be overridden to access the required target more quickly.
Example:
Ext.define('Ext.overrides.form.field.Base', {
override: 'Ext.form.field.Base',
// Add functionality to Field's initComponent to enable the change event to bubble
initComponent: function () {
this.callParent();
this.enableBubble('change');
}
});
var myForm = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
title: 'User Details',
items: [{
...
}],
listeners: {
change: function() {
// Title goes red if form has been modified.
myForm.header.setStyle('color', 'red');
}
}
});
Available since: 3.4.0
Parameters
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name, plus the options object passed
to addListener).
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget) by calling enableBubble.

Shorthand for addManagedListener.
Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Ext.Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is destroyed.
Available since: 4.0.2
Parameters
- item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.Element
The item to which to add a listener/listeners.
- ename : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
- fn : Function (optional)
If the
enameparameter was an event name, this is the handler function. - scope : Object (optional)
If the
enameparameter was an event name, this is the scope (thisreference) in which the handler function is executed. - options : Object (optional)
If the
enameparameter was an event name, this is the addListener options.
Returns
- Object
Only when the
destroyableoption is specified.A
Destroyableobject. An object which implements thedestroymethod which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:this.btnListeners = = myButton.mon({ destroyable: true mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); }, mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); }, click: function() { console.log('click'); } });And when those listeners need to be removed:
Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);or
this.btnListeners.destroy();
Shorthand for removeManagedListener.
Removes listeners that were added by the mon method.
Available since: 4.0.2
Parameters
- item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.Element
The item from which to remove a listener/listeners.
- ename : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
- fn : Function (optional)
If the
enameparameter was an event name, this is the handler function. - scope : Object (optional)
If the
enameparameter was an event name, this is the scope (thisreference) in which the handler function is executed.
Shorthand for addListener.
Appends an event handler to this object. For example:
myGridPanel.on("mouseover", this.onMouseOver, this);
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: this.onCellClick,
mouseover: this.onMouseOver,
mouseout: this.onMouseOut,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: this.onCellClick, scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: panel.onMouseOver, scope: panel}
});
Names of methods in a specified scope may also be used. Note that
scope MUST be specified to use this option:
myGridPanel.on({
cellClick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
mouseover: {fn: 'onMouseOver', scope: panel}
});
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- eventName : String/Object
The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.
- fn : Function (optional)
The method the event invokes, or if
scopeis specified, the name* of the method within the specifiedscope. Will be called with arguments given to fireEvent plus theoptionsparameter described below. - scope : Object (optional)
The scope (
thisreference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event. - options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Note: Unlike in ExtJS 3.x, the options object will also be passed as the last argument to every event handler.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
- scope : Object
The scope (
thisreference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event. - delay : Number
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
- single : Boolean
True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
- buffer : Number
Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
- target : Ext.util.Observable
Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event was bubbled up from a child Observable.
- element : String
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components. The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.
This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of Components which will exist only after the Component is rendered. For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:
new Ext.panel.Panel({ title: 'The title', listeners: { click: this.handlePanelClick, element: 'body' } }); - destroyable : Boolean (optional)
When specified as
true, the function returns ADestroyableobject. An object which implements thedestroymethod which removes all listeners added in this call.Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener.
myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, { single: true, delay: 100 });Defaults to:
false
- scope : Object
Returns
- Object
Only when the
destroyableoption is specified.A
Destroyableobject. An object which implements thedestroymethod which removes all listeners added in this call. For example:this.btnListeners = = myButton.on({ destroyable: true mouseover: function() { console.log('mouseover'); }, mouseout: function() { console.log('mouseout'); }, click: function() { console.log('click'); } });And when those listeners need to be removed:
Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);or
this.btnListeners.destroy();
Called each time the reader's onMetaChange is called so that the proxy can fire the metachange event
Available since: 4.1.0
Parameters

Performs the given read operation.
Available since: 4.0.0
Parameters
- operation : Ext.data.Operation
The Operation to perform
- callback : Function
Callback function to be called when the Operation has completed (whether successful or not)
- scope : Object
Scope to execute the callback function in
Overrides: Ext.data.proxy.Proxy.read
Relays selected events from the specified Observable as if the events were fired by this.
For example if you are extending Grid, you might decide to forward some events from store. So you can do this inside your initComponent:
this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load']);
The grid instance will then have an observable 'load' event which will be passed the
parameters of the store's load event and any function fired with the grid's load event
would have access to the grid using the this keyword.
Available since: 2.3.0
Parameters
- origin : Object
The Observable whose events this object is to relay.
- events : String[]
Array of event names to relay.
- prefix : String (optional)
A common prefix to prepend to the event names. For example:
this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load', 'clear'], 'store');Now the grid will forward 'load' and 'clear' events of store as 'storeload' and 'storeclear'.
Returns
- Object
A
Destroyableobject. An object which implements thedestroymethod which, when destroyed, removes all relayers. For example:this.storeRelayers = this.relayEvents(this.getStore(), ['load', 'clear'], 'store');Can be undone by calling
Ext.destroy(this.storeRelayers);or
this.store.relayers.destroy();
