Ext.data.reader.Array

True to automatically parse models nested within other models in a response object. See the Ext.data.reader.Reader intro docs for full explanation.

Defaults to: true

Available since: 4.0.0

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'); }
        }
    }
});

Available since: 1.1.0

The name of the property which contains a response message. This property is optional.

Available since: 3.4.0

Name of the property from which to retrieve the metaData attribute. See metaData.

Defaults to: "metaData"

Available since: 4.1.2

True to extract the records from a data packet even if the successProperty returns false.

Defaults to: true

Available since: 4.1.0

The optional location within the JSON response that the record data itself can be found at. See the JsonReader intro docs for more details. This is not often needed.

Available since: 4.0.0

The name of the property which contains the data items corresponding to the Model(s) for which this Reader is configured. For JSON reader it's a property name (or a dot-separated list of property names if the root is nested). For XML reader it's a CSS selector. For Array reader the root is not applicable since the data is assumed to be a single-level array of arrays.

By default the natural root of the data will be used: the root JSON array, the root XML element, or the array.

The data packet value for this property should be an empty array to clear the data or show no data.

Defaults to: ''

Available since: 1.1.0

Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.root

True to ensure that field names/mappings are treated as literals when reading values.

For example, by default, using the mapping "foo.bar.baz" will try and read a property foo from the root, then a property bar from foo, then a property baz from bar. Setting the simple accessors to true will read the property with the name "foo.bar.baz" direct from the root object.

Defaults to: false

Available since: 4.0.0

Private flag to the generated convertRecordData function to indicate whether to apply Field default values to fields for which no value is present in the raw data. This is set to false by a Server Proxy which is reading the response from a "create" or "update" operation.

Defaults to: true

Available since: 4.1.0

Defaults to: {}

Available since: 4.1.1

Initial suspended call count. Incremented when suspendEvents is called, decremented when resumeEvents is called.

Defaults to: 0

Available since: 4.1.1

This object holds a key for any event that has a listener. The listener may be set directly on the instance, or on its class or a super class (via observe) or on the MVC EventBus. The values of this object are truthy (a non-zero number) and falsy (0 or undefined). They do not represent an exact count of listeners. The value for an event is truthy if the event must be fired and is falsy if there is no need to fire the event.

The intended use of this property is to avoid the expense of fireEvent calls when there are no listeners. This can be particularly helpful when one would otherwise have to call fireEvent hundreds or thousands of times. It is used like this:

 if (this.hasListeners.foo) {
     this.fireEvent('foo', this, arg1);
 }

Available since: 4.1.1

The raw meta data that was most recently read, if any. Meta data can include existing Reader config options like idProperty, totalProperty, etc. that get automatically applied to the Reader, and those can still be accessed directly from the Reader if needed. However, meta data is also often used to pass other custom data to be processed by application code. For example, it is common when reconfiguring the data model of a grid to also pass a corresponding column model config to be applied to the grid. Any such data will not get applied to the Reader directly (it just gets passed through and is ignored by Ext). This metaData property gives you access to all meta data that was passed, including any such custom data ignored by the reader.

This is a read-only property, and it will get replaced each time a new meta data object is passed to the reader. Note that typically you would handle proxy's metachange event which passes this exact same meta object to listeners. However this property is available if it's more convenient to access it via the reader directly in certain cases.

Available since: 4.1.0

The raw data object that was last passed to readRecords. Stored for further processing if needed.

Available since: 4.0.0

Defaults to: ['var me = this\n', ' ,fields = me.model.prototype.fields\n', ' ,value\n', ' ,internalId\n', '<tpl for="fields">', ' ,__field{#} = fields.get("{name}")\n', '</tpl>', ';\n', 'return function(dest, source, record) {\n', '<tpl for="fields">', ' value = {[ this.createFieldAccessExpression(values, "__field" + xindex, "source") ]};\n', '<tpl if="hasCustomConvert">', ' dest["{name}"] = value === undefined ? __field{#}.convert(__field{#}.defaultValue, record) : __field{#}.convert(value, record);\n', '<tpl elseif="defaultValue !== undefined">', ' if (value === undefined) {\n', ' if (me.applyDefaults) {\n', '<tpl if="convert">', ' dest["{name}"] = __field{#}.convert(__field{#}.defaultValue, record);\n', '<tpl else>', ' dest["{name}"] = __field{#}.defaultValue\n', '</tpl>', ' };\n', ' } else {\n', '<tpl if="convert">', ' dest["{name}"] = __field{#}.convert(value, record);\n', '<tpl else>', ' dest["{name}"] = value;\n', '</tpl>', ' };', '<tpl else>', ' if (value !== undefined) {\n', '<tpl if="convert">', ' dest["{name}"] = __field{#}.convert(value, record);\n', '<tpl else>', ' dest["{name}"] = value;\n', '</tpl>', ' }\n', '</tpl>', '</tpl>', '<tpl if="clientIdProp">', ' if (record && (internalId = {[ this.createFieldAccessExpression(\{mapping: values.clientIdProp\}, null, "source") ]})) {\n', ' record.{["internalId"]} = internalId;\n', ' }\n', '</tpl>', '};']

Get the reference to the current class from which this object was instantiated. Unlike statics, this.self is scope-dependent and it's meant to be used for dynamic inheritance. See statics for a detailed comparison

Ext.define('My.Cat', {
    statics: {
        speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
    },

    constructor: function() {
        alert(this.self.speciesName); // dependent on 'this'
    },

    clone: function() {
        return new this.self();
    }
});


Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
    extend: 'My.Cat',
    statics: {
        speciesName: 'Snow Leopard'         // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
    }
});

var cat = new My.Cat();                     // alerts 'Cat'
var snowLeopard = new My.SnowLeopard();     // alerts 'Snow Leopard'

var clone = snowLeopard.clone();
alert(Ext.getClassName(clone));             // alerts 'My.SnowLeopard'

Available since: 4.0.0

Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

• eventNames : Object/String...

  Either an object with event names as properties with a value of true. For example:

  this.addEvents({
      storeloaded: true,
      storecleared: true
  });
  

  Or any number of event names as separate parameters. For example:

  this.addEvents('storeloaded', 'storecleared');
  

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

Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Ext.Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is 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();

The returned function must be passed the following parameters:

• dest A record's empty data object into which the new field value properties are injected.
• source A raw row data object of whatever type this Reader consumes
• record The record which is being populated.

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"

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. 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 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 from the current method, for example: this.callSuper(arguments)

Returns

• Object

  Returns the result of calling the superclass method

Continue to fire event.

Available since: 4.0.7

Parameters

• eventName : String
• args : Array
• bubbles : Boolean

Returns an accessor function for the given property string. Gives support for properties such as the following:

• 'someProperty'
• 'some.property'
• 'some["property"]'

This is used by buildExtractors to create optimized extractor functions when casting raw data into model instances.

Available since: 4.1.1

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• newName : Object
• beginEnd : Array (optional)

  The caller can specify on which indices to slice

Returns

• Function

Available since: 4.1.1

Overrides: Ext.util.ElementContainer.destroy, Ext.AbstractComponent.destroy, Ext.AbstractPlugin.destroy

Available since: 4.1.0

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

• eventNames : String/String[]

  The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.

We're just preparing the data for the superclass by pulling out the record objects we want. If a record was specified we have to pull those out of the larger JSON object, which is most of what this function is doing

Available since: 3.4.0

Parameters

• root : Object

  The JSON root node

Returns

• Ext.data.Model[]

  The records

Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.extractData

Used internally by readAssociated. Given a data object (which could be json, xml etc) for a specific record, this should return the relevant part of that data for the given association name. This is only really needed to support the XML Reader, which has to do a query to get the associated data object

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• data : Object

  The raw data object

• associationName : String

  The name of the association to get data for (uses associationKey if present)

Returns

inherit docs

Takes a raw response object (as passed to the read method) and returns the useful data segment from it. This must be implemented by each subclass.

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• response : Object

  The response object

Returns

• Ext.data.ResultSet

  A ResultSet object

Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.getResponseData

This will usually need to be implemented in a subclass. Given a generic data object (the type depends on the type of data we are reading), this function should return the object as configured by the Reader's 'root' meta data config. See XmlReader's getRoot implementation for an example. By default the same data object will simply be returned.

Available since: 3.4.0

Parameters

• data : Object

  The data object

Returns

• Object

  The same data object

Available since: 4.1.0

Parameters

• config : Object

Checks to see if this object has any listeners for a specified event, or whether the event bubbles. The answer indicates whether the event needs firing or not.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

• eventName : String

  The name of the event to check for

Returns

• Boolean

  true if the event is being listened for or bubbles, else false

Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:

Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {

• 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.

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();

Parameters

• names : Object
• callback : Object
• scope : Object

Reconfigures the meta data tied to this Reader

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• meta : Object

Prepares a given class for observable instances. This method is called when a class derives from this class or uses this class as a mixin.

Available since: 4.1.0

Parameters

• T : Function

  The class constructor to prepare.

Reads the given response object. This method normalizes the different types of response object that may be passed to it. If it's an XMLHttpRequest object, hand off to the subclass' getResponseData method. Else, hand off the reading of records to the readRecords method.

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• response : Object

  The response object. This may be either an XMLHttpRequest object or a plain JS object

Returns

• Ext.data.ResultSet

  The parsed or default ResultSet object

Loads a record's associations from the data object. This prepopulates hasMany and belongsTo associations on the record provided.

Available since: 4.0.0

Parameters

• record : Ext.data.Model

  The record to load associations for

• data : Object

  The data object

Returns

• String

  Return value description

Reads a JSON object and returns a ResultSet. Uses the internal getTotal and getSuccess extractors to retrieve meta data from the response, and extractData to turn the JSON data into model instances.

Available since: 1.1.0

Parameters

• data : Object

  The raw JSON data

Returns

• Ext.data.ResultSet

  A ResultSet containing model instances and meta data about the results

Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.readRecords

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');
  

  Can be undone by calling

  Ext.destroy(this.storeRelayers);
  

  or

  this.store.relayers.destroy();
  

Removes an event handler.

Available since: 4.1.1

Parameters

• fn : Object
• scope : Object

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).
