Readers are used to interpret data to be loaded into a Model instance or a Store - often in response to an AJAX request. In general there is usually no need to create a Reader instance directly, since a Reader is almost always used together with a Proxy, and is configured using the Proxy's reader configuration property:
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: 'User',
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url : 'users.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'users'
}
},
});
The above reader is configured to consume a JSON string that looks something like this:
{
"success": true,
"users": [
{ "name": "User 1" },
{ "name": "User 2" }
]
}
Loading Nested Data
Readers have the ability to automatically load deeply-nested data objects based on the associations configured on each Model. Below is an example demonstrating the flexibility of these associations in a fictional CRM system which manages a User, their Orders, OrderItems and Products. First we'll define the models:
Ext.define('User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: [
'id', 'name'
],
hasMany: {model: 'Order', name: 'orders'},
proxy: {
type: 'rest',
url : 'users.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'users'
}
}
}
});
Ext.define('Order', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: [
'id', 'total'
],
hasMany : {model: 'OrderItem', name: 'orderItems', associationKey: 'order_items'},
belongsTo: 'User'
}
});
Ext.define('OrderItem', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: [
'id', 'price', 'quantity', 'order_id', 'product_id'
],
belongsTo: ['Order', {model: 'Product', associationKey: 'product'}]
}
});
Ext.define('Product', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config : {
fields: [
'id', 'name'
],
hasMany: 'OrderItem'
}
});
This may be a lot to take in - basically a User has many Orders, each of which is composed of several OrderItems. Finally, each OrderItem has a single Product. This allows us to consume data like this:
{
"users": [
{
"id": 123,
"name": "Ed",
"orders": [
{
"id": 50,
"total": 100,
"order_items": [
{
"id" : 20,
"price" : 40,
"quantity": 2,
"product" : {
"id": 1000,
"name": "MacBook Pro"
}
},
{
"id" : 21,
"price" : 20,
"quantity": 3,
"product" : {
"id": 1001,
"name": "iPhone"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
The JSON response is deeply nested - it returns all Users (in this case just 1 for simplicity's sake), all of the Orders for each User (again just 1 in this case), all of the OrderItems for each Order (2 order items in this case), and finally the Product associated with each OrderItem. Now we can read the data and use it as follows:
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: 'User'
});
store.load({
callback: function() {
//the user that was loaded
var user = store.first();
console.log('Orders for ' + user.get('name') + ':')
//iterate over the Orders for each User
user.orders().each(function(order) {
console.log('Order ID: ' + order.getId() + ', which contains items:');
//iterate over the OrderItems for each Order
order.orderItems().each(function(orderItem) {
//we know that the Product data is already loaded, so we can use the synchronous getProduct
//usually, we would use the asynchronous version (see Ext.data.association.BelongsTo)
var product = orderItem.getProduct();
console.log(orderItem.get('quantity') + ' orders of ' + product.get('name'));
});
});
}
});
Running the code above results in the following:
Orders for Ed:
Order ID: 50, which contains items:
2 orders of MacBook Pro
3 orders of iPhone

Reader config options like idProperty, totalProperty, etc. that get

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).

Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener:
container.on('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.on({
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.on({
tap : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});
See the Events Guide for more.
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- eventName : String
The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are
event names.
- fn : Function
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
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.
order : String
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
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
Allows you to add a listener onto a element of this component using the elements reference.
Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
listeners: {
element: 'element',
tap: function() {
console.log('element tap!');
}
}
});
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
Uses Ext.ComponentQuery to delegate events to a specified query selector within this item.
// 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.on({
// Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
delegate: 'button',
tap: function() {
alert('Button tapped!');
}
});
- 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] )deprecatedAdds listeners to any Observable object (or Element) which are automatically removed when this Component

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
}
}
});

to addListener).
The first argument is the name of the event. Every other argument passed will be available when you listen for
the event.
Example
Firstly, we set up a listener for our new event.
this.on('myevent', function(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, options, e) {
console.log(arg1); // true
console.log(arg2); // 2
console.log(arg3); // { test: 'foo' }
console.log(arg4); // 14
console.log(options); // the options added when adding the listener
console.log(e); // the event object with information about the event
});
And then we can fire off the event.
this.fireEvent('myevent', true, 2, { test: 'foo' }, 14);

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!");
var instance = this.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
Available since: 2.0.0
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
Available since: 2.0.0
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
Removes all listeners for this object.
Available since: 1.1.0
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and execute a function (action) at the end if there are no listeners that return false.
Available since: 2.0.0
Parameters
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name, plus the options object passed
to addListener).
The first argument is the name of the event. Every other argument passed will be available when you listen for the event.
Example
Firstly, we set up a listener for our new event.
this.on('myevent', function(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, options, e) {
console.log(arg1); // true
console.log(arg2); // 2
console.log(arg3); // { test: 'foo' }
console.log(arg4); // 14
console.log(options); // the options added when adding the listener
console.log(e); // the event object with information about the event
});
And then we can fire off the event.
this.fireEvent('myevent', true, 2, { test: 'foo' }, 14);
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy by calling enableBubble.
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
- args : Object...
Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
Returns
- Boolean
returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.
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: 1.1.0
Parameters
- data : Object
The raw data object
- associationName : String
The name of the association to get data for (uses associationKey if present)
Returns
- Object
The root
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
Available since: 2.0.0
Returns
- String
id
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 'rootProperty' meta data config. See XmlReader's getRoot implementation for an example. By default the same data object will simply be returned.
Available since: 1.1.0
Parameters
- data : Object
The data object
Returns
- Object
The same data object
Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:
Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {

}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'

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!");
var instance = this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
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).
