Terms, Icons, and Labels

Many classes have shortcut names used when creating (instantiating) a class with a configuration object. The shortcut name is referred to as an alias (or xtype if the class extends Ext.Component). The alias/xtype is listed next to the class name of applicable classes for quick reference.

Access Levels

Framework classes or their members may be specified as private or protected. Else, the class / member is public. Public, protected, and private are access descriptors used to convey how and when the class or class member should be used.

Member Types

Member Syntax

Below is an example class member that we can disect to show the syntax of a class member (the lookupComponent method as viewed from the Ext.button.Button class in this case).

lookupComponent ( item ) : Ext.Component
protected

Called when a raw config object is added to this container either during initialization of the items config, or when new items are added), or {@link #insert inserted.

This method converts the passed object into an instanced child component.

This may be overridden in subclasses when special processing needs to be applied to child creation.

Parameters

item :  Object

The config object being added.

Returns
Ext.Component

The component to be added.

Let's look at each part of the member row:

Member Flags

The API documentation uses a number of flags to further commnicate the class member's function and intent. The label may be represented by a text label, an abbreviation, or an icon.

Class Icons

- Indicates a framework class

- A singleton framework class. *See the singleton flag for more information

- A component-type framework class (any class within the Ext JS framework that extends Ext.Component)

- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version

Member Icons

- Indicates a class member of type config

- Indicates a class member of type property

- Indicates a class member of type method

- Indicates a class member of type event

- Indicates a class member of type theme variable

- Indicates a class member of type theme mixin

- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version

Class Member Quick-Nav Menu

Just below the class name on an API doc page is a row of buttons corresponding to the types of members owned by the current class. Each button shows a count of members by type (this count is updated as filters are applied). Clicking the button will navigate you to that member section. Hovering over the member-type button will reveal a popup menu of all members of that type for quick navigation.

Getter and Setter Methods

Getting and setter methods that correlate to a class config option will show up in the methods section as well as in the configs section of both the API doc and the member-type menus just beneath the config they work with. The getter and setter method documentation will be found in the config row for easy reference.

History Bar

Your page history is kept in localstorage and displayed (using the available real estate) just below the top title bar. By default, the only search results shown are the pages matching the product / version you're currently viewing. You can expand what is displayed by clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the history bar and choosing the "All" radio option. This will show all recent pages in the history bar for all products / versions.

Within the history config menu you will also see a listing of your recent page visits. The results are filtered by the "Current Product / Version" and "All" radio options. Clicking on the button will clear the history bar as well as the history kept in local storage.

If "All" is selected in the history config menu the checkbox option for "Show product details in the history bar" will be enabled. When checked, the product/version for each historic page will show alongside the page name in the history bar. Hovering the cursor over the page names in the history bar will also show the product/version as a tooltip.

Search and Filters

Both API docs and guides can be searched for using the search field at the top of the page.

On API doc pages there is also a filter input field that filters the member rows using the filter string. In addition to filtering by string you can filter the class members by access level, inheritance, and read only. This is done using the checkboxes at the top of the page.

The checkbox at the bottom of the API class navigation tree filters the class list to include or exclude private classes.

Clicking on an empty search field will show your last 10 searches for quick navigation.

API Doc Class Metadata

Each API doc page (with the exception of Javascript primitives pages) has a menu view of metadata relating to that class. This metadata view will have one or more of the following:

Expanding and Collapsing Examples and Class Members

Runnable examples (Fiddles) are expanded on a page by default. You can collapse and expand example code blocks individually using the arrow on the top-left of the code block. You can also toggle the collapse state of all examples using the toggle button on the top-right of the page. The toggle-all state will be remembered between page loads.

Class members are collapsed on a page by default. You can expand and collapse members using the arrow icon on the left of the member row or globally using the expand / collapse all toggle button top-right.

Desktop -vs- Mobile View

Viewing the docs on narrower screens or browsers will result in a view optimized for a smaller form factor. The primary differences between the desktop and "mobile" view are:

Viewing the Class Source

The class source can be viewed by clicking on the class name at the top of an API doc page. The source for class members can be viewed by clicking on the "view source" link on the right-hand side of the member row.

Ext.data.reader.Json alias: reader.json

Summary

The JSON Reader is used by a Proxy to read a server response that is sent back in JSON format. This usually happens as a result of loading a Store - for example we might create something like this:

Ext.define('User', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: ['id', 'name', 'email']
});

var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    model: 'User',
    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url : 'users.json',
        reader: {
            type: 'json'
        }
    }
});

The example above creates a 'User' model. Models are explained in the Ext.data.Model docs if you're not already familiar with them.

We created the simplest type of JSON Reader possible by simply telling our Ext.data.Store's Ext.data.proxy.Proxy that we want a JSON Reader. The Store automatically passes the configured model to the Store, so it is as if we passed this instead:

reader: {
    type : 'json',
    model: 'User'
}

The reader we set up is ready to read data from our server - at the moment it will accept a response like this:

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Ed Spencer",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "Abe Elias",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    }
]

Reading other JSON formats

If you already have your JSON format defined and it doesn't look quite like what we have above, you can usually pass JsonReader a couple of configuration options to make it parse your format. For example, we can use the cfg-rootProperty configuration to parse data that comes back like this:

{
    "users": [
       {
           "id": 1,
           "name": "Ed Spencer",
           "email": "[email protected]"
       },
       {
           "id": 2,
           "name": "Abe Elias",
           "email": "[email protected]"
       }
    ]
}

To parse this we just pass in a root configuration that matches the 'users' above:

reader: {
    type: 'json',
    rootProperty: 'users'
}

Sometimes the JSON structure is even more complicated. Document databases like CouchDB often provide metadata around each record inside a nested structure like this:

{
    "total": 122,
    "offset": 0,
    "users": [
        {
            "id": "ed-spencer-1",
            "value": 1,
            "user": {
                "id": 1,
                "name": "Ed Spencer",
                "email": "[email protected]"
            }
        }
    ]
}

In the case above the record data is nested an additional level inside the "users" array as each "user" item has additional metadata surrounding it ('id' and 'value' in this case). To parse data out of each "user" item in the JSON above we need to specify the record configuration like this:

reader: {
    type  : 'json',
    root  : 'users',
    record: 'user'
}

Response MetaData

The server can return metadata in its response, in addition to the record data, that describe attributes of the data set itself or are used to reconfigure the Reader. To pass metadata in the response you simply add a metaData attribute to the root of the response data. The metaData attribute can contain anything, but supports a specific set of properties that are handled by the Reader if they are present:

  • root: the property name of the root response node containing the record data
  • totalProperty: property name for the total number of records in the data
  • successProperty: property name for the success status of the response
  • messageProperty: property name for an optional response message
  • fields: Config used to reconfigure the Model's fields before converting the response data into records

An initial Reader configuration containing all of these properties might look like this ("fields" would be included in the Model definition, not shown):

reader: {
    type : 'json',
    root : 'root',
    totalProperty  : 'total',
    successProperty: 'success',
    messageProperty: 'message'
}

If you were to pass a response object containing attributes different from those initially defined above, you could use the metaData attribute to reconifgure the Reader on the fly. For example:

{
    "count": 1,
    "ok": true,
    "msg": "Users found",
    "users": [{
        "userId": 123,
        "name": "Ed Spencer",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    }],
    "metaData": {
        "root": "users",
        "totalProperty": 'count',
        "successProperty": 'ok',
        "messageProperty": 'msg'
    }
}

You can also place any other arbitrary data you need into the metaData attribute which will be ignored by the Reader, but will be accessible via the Reader's metaData property (which is also passed to listeners via the Proxy's metachange event (also relayed by the store). Application code can then process the passed metadata in any way it chooses.

A simple example for how this can be used would be customizing the fields for a Model that is bound to a grid. By passing the fields property the Model will be automatically updated by the Reader internally, but that change will not be reflected automatically in the grid unless you also update the column configuration. You could do this manually, or you could simply pass a standard grid column config object as part of the metaData attribute and then pass that along to the grid. Here's a very simple example for how that could be accomplished:

// response format:
{
    ...
    "metaData": {
        "fields": [
            { "name": "userId", "type": "int" },
            { "name": "name", "type": "string" },
            { "name": "birthday", "type": "date", "dateFormat": "Y-j-m" },
        ],
        "columns": [
            { "text": "User ID", "dataIndex": "userId", "width": 40 },
            { "text": "User Name", "dataIndex": "name", "flex": 1 },
            { "text": "Birthday", "dataIndex": "birthday", "flex": 1, "format": 'Y-j-m', "xtype": "datecolumn" }
        ]
    }
}

The Reader will automatically read the meta fields config and rebuild the Model based on the new fields, but to handle the new column configuration you would need to handle the metadata within the application code. This is done simply enough by handling the metachange event on either the store or the proxy, e.g.:

var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    ...
    listeners: {
        'metachange': function(store, meta) {
            myGrid.reconfigure(store, meta.columns);
        }
    }
});

configs

Optional Configs

bubbleEvents : String / String[]

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

Defaults to:

null

getBubbleEvents : String / String[]

Returns the value of bubbleEvents

Returns

String / String[]

setBubbleEvents (bubbleEvents)

Sets the value of bubbleEvents

Parameters

bubbleEvents :  String / String[]

implicitIncludes : Boolean

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

getImplicitIncludes : Boolean

Returns the value of implicitIncludes

Returns

Boolean

setImplicitIncludes (implicitIncludes)

Sets the value of implicitIncludes

Parameters

implicitIncludes :  Boolean

listeners : Object

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.

See the Event guide for more

Note: It is bad practice to specify a listener's config when you are defining a class using Ext.define(). Instead, only specify listeners when you are instantiating your class with Ext.create().

Defaults to:

null

getListeners : Object

Returns the value of listeners

Returns

Object

setListeners (listeners)

Sets the value of listeners

Parameters

listeners :  Object

messageProperty : String

The name of the property which contains a response message for exception handling. If you want to return a false success response from the server, maybe due to some server-side validation, the messageProperty can hold the error message. For example:

{
    "success": false,
    "error": "There was an error with your request"
}

You can retrieve this error message in a callback when loading a Ext.data.Store or Ext.data.Model like:

var store = new Ext.data.Store({
    fields : ['foo'],
    proxy  : {
        type   : 'ajax',
        url    : 'data.json',
        reader : {
            type            : 'json',
            rootProperty    : 'data',
            messageProperty : 'error'
        }
    }
});

store.load({
    callback: function(records, operation, success) {
        if (success) {
            // ...
        } else {
            var error = operation.getError();

            Ext.Msg.alert('Error', error);
        }
    }
});

In this example, the callback will execute with success being false and will therefore show the Ext.Msg.alert with the error string returned in the response.

Defaults to:

''

getMessageProperty : String

Returns the value of messageProperty

Returns

String

setMessageProperty (messageProperty)

Sets the value of messageProperty

Parameters

messageProperty :  String

metaProperty : String

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

Defaults to:

'metaData'

getMetaProperty : String

Returns the value of metaProperty

Returns

String

setMetaProperty (metaProperty)

Sets the value of metaProperty

Parameters

metaProperty :  String

model : String / Ext.data.Model

The model to use for this reader. This config is only required if the reader is being used without a proxy, otherwise the proxy will automatically set the model.

Defaults to:

getModel : String / Ext.data.Model

Returns the value of model

Returns

String / Ext.data.Model

setModel (model)

Sets the value of model

Parameters

model :  String / Ext.data.Model

preserveRawData : Boolean

The reader will keep a copy of the most recent request in the rawData property. For performance reasons, the data object for each record is used directly as the model data. This means that these objects may be modified and thus modify the raw data. To ensure the objects are copied, set this option to true. NB: This only applies to items that are read as part of the data array, any other metadata will not be modified:

{
    "someOtherData": 1, // Won't be modified
    "root": [{}, {}, {}] // The objects here will be modified
}

Defaults to:

false

getPreserveRawData : Boolean

Returns the value of preserveRawData

Returns

Boolean

setPreserveRawData (preserveRawData)

Sets the value of preserveRawData

Parameters

preserveRawData :  Boolean

Returns the value of proxy

Returns

Ext.data.proxy.Proxy

setProxy (proxy)

Sets the value of proxy

Parameters

proxy :  Ext.data.proxy.Proxy

Returns the value of readRecordsOnFailure

Returns

Boolean

setReadRecordsOnFailure (readRecordsOnFailure)

Sets the value of readRecordsOnFailure

Parameters

readRecordsOnFailure :  Boolean

record : String

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.

Defaults to:

null

getRecord : String

Returns the value of record

Returns

String

setRecord (record)

Sets the value of record

Parameters

record :  String

rootProperty : String

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:

''

getRootProperty : String

Returns the value of rootProperty

Returns

String

setRootProperty (rootProperty)

Sets the value of rootProperty

Parameters

rootProperty :  String

successProperty : String

Name of the property from which to retrieve the success attribute, the value of which indicates whether a given request succeeded or failed (typically a boolean or 'true'|'false'). See Ext.data.proxy.Server.exception for additional information.

Defaults to:

'success'

getSuccessProperty : String

Returns the value of successProperty

Returns

String

setSuccessProperty (successProperty)

Sets the value of successProperty

Parameters

successProperty :  String

totalProperty : String

Name of the property from which to retrieve the total number of records in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being paged from the remote server.

Defaults to:

'total'

getTotalProperty : String

Returns the value of totalProperty

Returns

String

setTotalProperty (totalProperty)

Sets the value of totalProperty

Parameters

totalProperty :  String

transform : Function / Object

If a transform function is set, it will be invoked just before readRecords executes. It is passed the raw (deserialized) data object. The transform function returns a data object, which can be a modified version of the original data object, or a completely new data object. The transform can be a function, or an object with a 'fn' key and an optional 'scope' key. Example usage:

Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    model: 'User',
    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url : 'users.json',
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            transform: {
                fn: function(data) {
                    // do some manipulation of the raw data object
                    return data;
                },
                scope: this
            }
        }
    },
});

Defaults to:

null

getTransform : Function / Object

Returns the value of transform

Returns

Function / Object

setTransform (transform)

Sets the value of transform

Parameters

transform :  Function / Object

typeProperty : String

The name of the property in a node raw data block which indicates the type of the model to be created from that raw data. Useful for heterogenous trees.

For example, hierarchical geographical data may look like this:

{
    nodeType: 'Territory',
    name: 'EMEA',
    children: [{
        nodeType: 'Country',
        name: 'United Kingdon',
        children: [{
            nodeType: 'City',
            name: 'London'
        }]
    }]
}

You would configure the typeProperty in this case to be "nodeType" which would cause the models named "Territory", "Country" and "City" to be used.

Defaults to:

''

getTypeProperty : String

Returns the value of typeProperty

Returns

String

setTypeProperty (typeProperty)

Sets the value of typeProperty

Parameters

typeProperty :  String

useSimpleAccessors : Boolean

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

getUseSimpleAccessors : Boolean

Returns the value of useSimpleAccessors

Returns

Boolean

setUseSimpleAccessors (useSimpleAccessors)

Sets the value of useSimpleAccessors

Parameters

useSimpleAccessors :  Boolean

properties

Instance Properties

$className
private pri

Defaults to:

'Ext.Base'

$configPrefixed : Boolean
private pri

The value true causes config values to be stored on instances using a property name prefixed with an underscore ("_") character. A value of false stores config values as properties using their exact name (no prefix).

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

$configStrict : Boolean
private pri

The value true instructs the initConfig method to only honor values for properties declared in the config block of a class. When false, properties that are not declared in a config block will be placed on the instance.

Defaults to:

true

Available since: 5.0.0

factoryConfig : Object

If this property is specified by the target class of this mixin its properties are used to configure the created Ext.Factory.

getRoot
private pri

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.

Defaults to:

Ext.identityFn

Parameters

data :  Object

The data object

Returns

:Object

The same data object

hasListeners : Object
readonly ro

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 or on the Ext.app.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);
 }

isConfiguring : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This property is set to true during the call to initConfig.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isFirstInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This property is set to true if this instance is the first of its class.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This value is true and is used to identify plain objects from instances of a defined class.

Defaults to:

true

isReader : Boolean

true in this class to identify an object as an instantiated Reader, or subclass thereof.

Defaults to:

true

metaData : Object
readonly ro

The raw meta data that was most recently read, if any. Meta data can include existing Reader config options like 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.

rawData : Object

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

Defaults to:

data

self : Ext.Class
protected pro

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

Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

A delayed, one-time listener:

container.addListener('tap', this.handleTap, this, {
    single: true,
    delay: 100
});

Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call

The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:

container.addListener({
    tap  : this.onTap,
    swipe: this.onSwipe,

    scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});

One can also specify options for each event handler separately:

container.addListener({
    tap  : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
    swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});

See the Events Guide for more.

Parameters

eventName :  String/String[]/Object

The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.

fn :  Function/String

The method the event invokes. 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.

This object may contain any of the following properties:

scope :  Object (optional)

The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.

delay :  Number (optional)

The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.

single :  Boolean (optional)

true to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.

order :  String (optional)

The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.

If you set an order of before and the event you are listening to is preventable, you can return false and it will stop the event.

Available options are before, current and after.

Defaults to:

current

buffer :  Number (optional)

Causes the handler to be 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.

element :  String (optional)

If this observable is a Component, allows you to add a listener onto a element of the component using the element's reference.

Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
    listeners: {
        element: 'element',
        tap: function() {
            alert('element tap!');
        }
    }
});

In Sencha Touch, All components have the element reference, which is the outer most element of the component. Ext.Container also has the innerElement element which contains all children. In most cases element is adequate.

delegate :  String (optional)

For Ext.dom.Element, a simple DOM selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target.

Sencha Touch Components can use Ext.ComponentQuery selectors to filter child Components.

// Create a container with a two children; a button and a toolbar
var container = Ext.create('Ext.Container', {
    items: [
        {
            xtype: 'toolbar',
            docked: 'top',
            title: 'My Toolbar'
        },
        {
           xtype: 'button',
           text: 'My Button'
        }
    ]
});

container.addListener({
    // Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
    delegate: 'button',

    tap: function() {
        alert('Button tapped!');
    }
});

capture :  Boolean

true to initiate capture which will fire the listeners on the target Element before any descendant Elements. Normal events start with the target element and propagate upward to ancestor elements, whereas captured events propagate from the top of the DOM downward to descendant elements. This option achieves the same result as the useCapture parameter in the standard JavaScript addEventListener method.

order :  String (optional)

The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue. Possible values are before, current and after.

Defaults to: 'current'

addManagedListener ( object, eventName, [fn], [scope], [options] )
deprecated dep

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

Parameters

object :  Ext.mixin.Observable/HTMLElement

The item to which to add a listener/listeners.

eventName :  Object/String

The event name, or an object containing event name properties.

fn :  Function (optional)

If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.

scope :  Object (optional)

If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the scope in which the handler function is executed.

options :  Object (optional)

If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the addListener options.

Deprecated since version 2.0
All listeners are now automatically managed where necessary. Simply use addListener.

buildExtractors ( [force] ) : Boolean
private pri

This builds optimized functions for retrieving record data and meta data from an object. Subclasses may need to implement their own getRoot function.

Parameters

force :  Boolean (optional)

True to automatically remove existing extractor functions first

Defaults to: false

Returns

:Boolean

callParent ( args ) : Object
protected pro

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.

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

callSuper ( args ) : Object
protected pro

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', {
     extend: 'Ext.some.Class',

     method: function () {
         console.log('Bad');

         // ... logic but with a bug ...

         this.callParent();
     }
 });

To patch the bug in Ext.some.DerivedClass.method, the typical solution is to create an override:

 Ext.define('App.patches.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".

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

private pri

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

  • 'someProperty'
  • 'some.property'

Alias for addListener. Appends an event handler to this object. You can review the available handlers by looking at the 'events' section of the documentation for the component you are working with.

Combining Options

Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

A delayed, one-time listener:

container.addListener('tap', this.handleTap, this, {
    single: true,
    delay: 100
});

Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call

The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:

container.addListener({
    tap  : this.onTap,
    swipe: this.onSwipe,

    scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});

One can also specify options for each event handler separately:

container.addListener({
    tap  : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
    swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});

See the Events Guide for more.

Parameters

eventName :  String/String[]/Object

The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.

fn :  Function/String

The method the event invokes. 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.

This object may contain any of the following properties:

scope :  Object (optional)

The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.

delay :  Number (optional)

The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.

single :  Boolean (optional)

true to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.

order :  String (optional)

The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.

If you set an order of before and the event you are listening to is preventable, you can return false and it will stop the event.

Available options are before, current and after.

Defaults to:

current

buffer :  Number (optional)

Causes the handler to be 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.

element :  String (optional)

If this observable is a Component, allows you to add a listener onto a element of the component using the element's reference.

Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
    listeners: {
        element: 'element',
        tap: function() {
            alert('element tap!');
        }
    }
});

In Sencha Touch, All components have the element reference, which is the outer most element of the component. Ext.Container also has the innerElement element which contains all children. In most cases element is adequate.

delegate :  String (optional)

For Ext.dom.Element, a simple DOM selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target.

Sencha Touch Components can use Ext.ComponentQuery selectors to filter child Components.

    items: [
        {
            xtype: 'toolbar',
            docked: 'top',
            title: 'My Toolbar'
        },
        {
           xtype: 'button',
           text: 'My Button'
        }
    ]
});

container.addListener({
    // Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
    delegate: 'button',

    tap: function() {
        alert('Button tapped!');
    }
});

capture :  Boolean

true to initiate capture which will fire the listeners on the target Element before any descendant Elements. Normal events start with the target element and propagate upward to ancestor elements, whereas captured events propagate from the top of the DOM downward to descendant elements. This option achieves the same result as the useCapture parameter in the standard JavaScript addEventListener method.

Get the reference to the class from which this object was instantiated. Note that unlike Ext.Base#self, this.statics() is scope-independent and it always returns the class from which it was called, regardless of what this points to during run-time

Ext.define('My.Cat', {
    statics: {
        totalCreated: 0,
        speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
    },

    constructor: function() {
        var statics = this.statics();

        alert(statics.speciesName);     // always equals to 'Cat' no matter what 'this' refers to
                                        // equivalent to: My.Cat.speciesName

        alert(this.self.speciesName);   // dependent on 'this'

        statics.totalCreated++;
    },

    clone: function() {
        var cloned = new this.self();   // dependent on 'this'

        cloned.groupName = this.statics().speciesName;   // equivalent to: My.Cat.speciesName

        return cloned;
    }
});


Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
    extend: 'My.Cat',

    statics: {
        speciesName: 'Snow Leopard'     // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
    },

    constructor: function() {
        this.callParent();
    }
});

var cat = new My.Cat();                 // alerts 'Cat', then alerts 'Cat'

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

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

alert(My.Cat.totalCreated);             // alerts 3

Returns

:Ext.Class

suspendEvent ( eventName )

Suspends firing of the named event(s).

After calling this method to suspend events, the events will no longer fire when requested to fire.

Note that if this is called multiple times for a certain event, the converse method resumeEvent will have to be called the same number of times for it to resume firing.

Parameters

eventName :  String...

Multiple event names to suspend.

suspendEvents ( queueSuspended )

Suspends the firing of all events. (see resumeEvents)

Parameters

queueSuspended :  Boolean

true to queue up suspended events to be fired after the resumeEvents call instead of discarding all suspended events.

un ( eventName, fn, [scope], [options], [order] )

Alias for removeListener. Removes an event handler.

Parameters

eventName :  String/String[]/Object

The type of event the handler was associated with.

fn :  Function/String

The handler to remove. This must be a reference to the function passed into the addListener call.

scope :  Object (optional)

The scope originally specified for the handler. It must be the same as the scope argument specified in the original call to addListener or the listener will not be removed.

options :  Object (optional)

Extra options object. See addListener for details.

order :  String (optional)

The order of the listener to remove. Possible values are before, current and after.

Defaults to: 'current'

unAfter ( eventName, fn, [scope], [options] )

Alias for removeAfterListener. Removes a before-event handler.

Same as removeListener with order set to 'after'.

Parameters

The name of the event the handler was associated with.

fn :  Function/String

The handler to remove.

scope :  Object (optional)

The scope originally specified for fn.

options :  Object (optional)

Extra options object.

Parameters

members :  Object

The members to add to this class.

    }
});

My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'

onExtended ( fn, scope ) :
chainable ch static sta private pri

Parameters

fn :  Object

scope :  Object

Returns

:

override ( members ) : Ext.Base
chainable ch static sta

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"

Direct use of this method should be rare. 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).
