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.
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.
Public classes and class members are available for use by any other class or application code and may be relied upon as a stable and persistent within major product versions. Public classes and members may safely be extended via a subclass.
Protected class members are stable public members intended to be used by the
owning class or its subclasses. Protected members may safely be extended via a subclass.
Private classes and class members are used internally by the framework and are not intended to be used by application developers. Private classes and members may change or be omitted from the framework at any time without notice and should not be relied upon in application logic.
static label next to the
method name. *See Static below.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).
Let's look at each part of the member row:
lookupComponent in this example)( item ) in this example)Ext.Component in this case). This may be omitted for methods that do not
return anything other than undefined or may display as multiple possible values
separated by a forward slash / signifying that what is returned may depend on the
results of the method call (i.e. a method may return a Component if a get method calls is
successful or false if unsuccessful which would be displayed as
Ext.Component/Boolean).PROTECTED in
this example - see the Flags section below)Ext.container.Container in this example). The source
class will be displayed as a blue link if the member originates from the current class
and gray if it is inherited from an ancestor or mixed-in class.view source in the example)item : Object in the example).undefined a "Returns" section
will note the type of class or object returned and a description (Ext.Component in the

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.
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.
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.
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 and inheritance. 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.
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:
Ext.button.Button class has an alternate class name of Ext.Button). Alternate class
names are commonly maintained for backward compatibility.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.
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:
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.
An array of Ext.data.schema.Association for this model.
One or more BelongsTo associations for this model.
The name of the property a server will use to send back a client-generated id in a
create or update Ext.data.operation.Operation.
If specified, this property cannot have the same name as any other field.
For example:
Ext.define('Person', {
idProperty: 'id', // this is the default value (for clarity)
clientIdProperty: 'clientId',
identifier: 'negative', // to generate -1, -2 etc on the client
fields: [ 'name' ]
});
var person = new Person({
// no id provided, so -1 is generated
name: 'Clark Kent'
});
The server is given this data during the create:
{
id: -1,
name: 'Clark Kent'
}
The server allocates a real id and responds like so:
{
id: 427,
clientId: -1
}
This property is most useful when creating multiple entities in a single call to
the server in a Ext.data.operation.Create. Alternatively,
the server could respond with records that correspond one-to-one to those sent in
the operation.
For example the client could send a create with this data:
[ { id: -1, name: 'Clark Kent' },
{ id: -2, name: 'Peter Parker' },
{ id: -3, name: 'Bruce Banner' } ]
And the server could respond in the same order:
[ { id: 427 }, // updates id = -1
{ id: 428 }, // updates id = -2
{ id: 429 } ] // updates id = -3
Or using clientIdProperty the server could respond in arbitrary order:
[ { id: 427, clientId: -3 },
{ id: 428, clientId: -1 },
{ id: 429, clientId: -2 } ]
IMPORTANT: When upgrading from previous versions be aware that this property
used to perform the role of Ext.data.writer.Writer#clientIdProperty as
well as that described above. To continue send a client-generated id as other than
the idProperty, set clientIdProperty on the writer. A better solution, however,
is most likely a properly configured identifier as that would work better with
associations.
Defaults to: null
Set to false to prevent any converters from being called during a set operation.
Defaults to: true
The fields for this model. This is an Array of Ext.data.field.Field definition
objects or simply the field name. If just a name is given, the field type defaults
to auto.
Get the fields array for this model.
The fields array
One or more HasMany associations for this model.
The id generator to use for this model. The default id generator does not generate values for the idProperty.
This can be overridden at the model level to provide a custom generator for a model. The simplest form of this would be:
Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
requires: ['Ext.data.identifier.Sequential'],
identifier: 'sequential',
...
});
The above would generate Ext.data.identifier.Sequential id's such as 1, 2, 3 etc..
Another useful id generator is Ext.data.identifier.Uuid:
Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
requires: ['Ext.data.identifier.Uuid'],
identifier: 'uuid',
...
});
An id generator can also be further configured:
Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
identifier: {
type: 'sequential',
seed: 1000,
prefix: 'ID_'
}
});
The above would generate id's such as ID_1000, ID_1001, ID_1002 etc..
If multiple models share an id space, a single generator can be shared:
Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModelX', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
identifier: {
type: 'sequential',
id: 'xy'
}
});
Ext.define('MyApp.data.MyModelY', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
identifier: {
type: 'sequential',
id: 'xy'
}
});
For more complex, shared id generators, a custom generator is the best approach. See Ext.data.identifier.Generator for details on creating custom id generators.
Defaults to: null
The name of the field treated as this Model's unique id.
If defining an abstract base Model class, the idProperty may be configured
as null which will mean that no identifying field will be generated. Concrete
derived classes must eventually provide a value for this property.
The data values for this field must be unique or there will be id value collisions in the Ext.data.Store.
Defaults to: 'id'
The Ext.data.proxy.Proxy to use for this class.
Returns the configured Proxy for this Model.
The proxy
The name of the Ext.data.schema.Schema to which this entity and its associations belong. For details on custom schemas see Ext.data.schema.Schema.
Defaults to: 'default'
If specified this property is used to concatenate multiple errors for each field as reported by the validators.
Defaults to: null
An array of Ext.data.validator.Validator for this model.
If specified, this is the name of the property that contains the entity "version". The version property is used to manage a long-running transaction and allows the detection of simultaneous modification.
The way a version property is used is that the client receives the version as it would any other entity property. When saving an entity, this property is always included in the request and the server uses the value in a "conditional update". If the current version of the entity on the server matches the version property sent by the client, the update is allowed. Otherwise, the update fails.
On successful update, both the client and server increment the version. This is done on the server in the conditional update and on the client when it receives a success on its update request.
Defaults to: null
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
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
True if this record is pending delete on the server. This is set by the drop method and transmitted to the server by the save method.
Defaults to: false
Internal flag used to track whether or not the model instance is currently being edited.
Defaults to: false
The short name of this entity class. This name is derived from the namespace of
the associated schema and this class name. By default, a class is not given a
shortened name.
All entities in a given schema must have a unique entityName.
For more details see "Relative Naming" in Ext.data.schema.Schema.
True if this record has been erased on the server. This flag is set of the erase method.
Defaults to: false
This property is indexed by field name and contains the ordinal of that field. The
ordinal often has meaning to servers and is derived based on the position in the
fields array.
This can be used like so:
Ext.define('MyApp.models.User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'name' }
]
});
var nameOrdinal = MyApp.models.User.fieldOrdinals.name;
// or, if you have an instance:
var user = new MyApp.models.User();
var nameOrdinal = user.fieldOrdinals.name;
An array fields defined for this Model (including fields defined in superclasses) in ordinal order; that is in declaration order.
This property is incremented on each modification of a record.
Defaults to: 1
Available since: 5.0.0
This property is set to true during the call to initConfig.
Defaults to: false
Available since: 5.0.0
This property is set to true if this instance is the first of its class.
Defaults to: false
Available since: 5.0.0
This value is true and is used to identify plain objects from instances of
a defined class.
Defaults to: true
A hash of field values which holds the initial values of fields before a set of edits are committed.
True when the record does not yet exist in a server-side database. Any record which has a real database identity set as its idProperty is NOT a phantom -- it's real.
Defaults to: false
This object is similar to the modified object except it holds the data values as they were prior to the most recent change.
The Ext.data.schema.Schema to which this entity and its associations belong.
Defaults to: 'default'
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'
Defaults to: Base
The Ext.data.Store to which this instance belongs. NOTE: If this instance is bound to multiple stores, this property will reference only the first. To examine all the stores, use the stores property instead.
Defaults to: me.store || item
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
Begins an edit. While in edit mode, no events (e.g.. the update event) are
relayed to the containing store. When an edit has begun, it must be followed by
either endEdit or cancelEdit.
Helper function used by afterEdit, afterReject and afterCommit. Calls the given method on the Ext.data.Store that this instance has joined, if any. The store function will always be called with the model instance as its single argument. If this model is joined to a Ext.data.NodeStore, then this method calls the given method on the NodeStore and the associated Ext.data.TreeStore.
funcName : String
The name function to call on each store.
args : Array (optional)
The arguments to pass to the method. This instance is always inserted as the first argument.
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.
args : Array / Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callParent(arguments)
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', {
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".
args : Array / Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callSuper(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the superclass method
Creates a clone of this record. States like dropped, phantom and dirty are all preserved in the cloned record.
session : Ext.data.session.Session (optional)
The session to which the new record belongs.
The cloned record.
Usually called by the Ext.data.Store which owns the model instance. Commits all changes made to the instance since either creation or the last commit operation.
Developers should subscribe to the Ext.data.Store#update event to have their code notified of commit operations.
silent : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to skip notification of the owning store of the change.
Defaults to: false
modifiedFieldNames : String[] (optional)
Array of field names changed during sync with server if known.
Omit or pass null if unknown. An empty array means that it is known that no fields were modified
by the server's response.
Defaults to false.
Creates a clean copy of this record. The returned record will not consider any its fields as modified.
To generate a phantom instance with a new id pass null:
var rec = record.copy(null); // clone the record but no id (one is generated)
newId : String (optional)
A new id, defaults to the id of the instance being copied. See id.
session : Ext.data.Session (optional)
The session to which the new record belongs.
Copies data from the passed record into this record. If the passed record is undefined, does nothing.
If this is a phantom record (represented only in the client, with no corresponding database entry), and the source record is not a phantom, then this record acquires the id of the source record.
sourceRecord : Ext.data.Model
The record to copy data from.
The names of the fields which changed value.
This method is called to cleanup an object and its resources. After calling this method, the object should not be used any further.
Marks this record as dropped and waiting to be deleted on the server. When a
record is dropped, it is automatically removed from all association stores and
any child records associated to this record are also dropped (a "cascade delete")
depending on the cascade parameter.
Available since: 5.0.0
cascade : Boolean (optional)
Pass false to disable the cascade to drop child
records.
Defaults to: true
Ends an edit. If any data was modified, the containing store is notified
(ie, the store's update event will fire).
silent : Boolean (optional)
True to not notify any stores of the change.
modifiedFieldNames : String[] (optional)
Array of field names changed during edit.
Destroys the model using the configured proxy.
options : Object
Options to pass to the proxy. Config object for Ext.data.operation.Operation.
The operation
Returns the value of the given field.
fieldName : String
The name of the field.
The value of the specified field.
Gets all of the data from this Models loaded associations. It does this recursively. For example if we have a User which hasMany Orders, and each Order hasMany OrderItems, it will return an object like this:
{
orders: [
{
id: 123,
status: 'shipped',
orderItems: [
...
]
}
]
}
result : Object (optional)
The object on to which the associations will be added. If no object is passed one is created. This object is then returned.
The nested data set for the Model's loaded associations.
Gets an object of only the fields that have been modified since this record was created or committed. Only persistent fields are tracked in the modified set so this method will only return changes to persistent fields.
For more control over the returned data, see getData.
Returns a specified config property value. If the name parameter is not passed, all current configuration options will be returned as key value pairs.
name : String (optional)
The name of the config property to get.
peek : Boolean (optional)
true to peek at the raw value without calling the getter.
Defaults to: false
The config property value.
Returns the array of fields that are declared as critical (must always send).
Gets all values for each field in this model and returns an object containing the
current data. This can be tuned by passing an options object with various
properties describing the desired result. Passing true simply returns all fields
and all associated record data.
An object containing all the values in this model.
Returns the unique ID allocated to this model instance as defined by idProperty.
The id
Returns the initial configuration passed to constructor when instantiating this class.
name : String (optional)
Name of the config option to return.
The full config object or a single config value
when name parameter specified.
Returns the original value of a modified field. If there is no modified value,
undefined will be return. Also see isModified.
fieldName : Object
modified
Gets the names of all the fields that were modified during an edit.
old : Object (optional)
The saved data from beginEdit.
The array of modified field names.
Return a unique observable ID. Model is not observable but tree nodes (Ext.data.NodeInterface) are, so they must be globally unique within the observableType.
This method returns the value of a field given its name prior to its most recent change.
fieldName : String
The field's name.
The value of the given field prior to its current value. undefined
if there is no previous value;
Returns the array of fields that are declared as non-persist or "transient".
Available since: 5.0.0
Returns the Ext.data.Validation record holding the results of this record's validators. This record is lazily created on first request and is then kept on this record to be updated later.
See the class description for more about validators.
Available since: 5.0.0
refresh : Boolean (optional)
Pass false to not call the refresh method on the
validation instance prior to returning it. Pass true to force a refresh of the
validation instance. By default the returned record is only refreshed if changes
have been made to this record.
The Validation record for this record.
Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:
Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {
// The default config
config: {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
instanceConfig : Object

lhs : Object
The first value.
rhs : Object
The second value.
field : String / Ext.data.field.Field (optional)
The field name or instance.

Checks if the model is valid. See getValidation.
True if the model is valid.
Tells this model instance that an observer is looking at it.
item : Ext.data.Store
The store to which this model has been added.
Adds a "destroyable" object to an internal list of objects that will be destroyed when this instance is destroyed (via destroy).
name : String
value : Object
The value passed.
Load the model instance using the configured proxy.
Ext.define('MyApp.User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{name: 'id', type: 'int'},
{name: 'name', type: 'string'}
]
});
var user = new MyApp.User();
user.load({
scope: this,
failure: function(record, operation) {
//do something if the load failed
},
success: function(record, operation) {
//do something if the load succeeded
},
callback: function(record, operation, success) {
//do something whether the load succeeded or failed
}
});
The operation object for loading this model.
This method is called by the Ext.data.reader.Reader after loading a model from the server. This is after processing any inline associations that are available.
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
Usually called by the Ext.data.Store to which this model instance has been joined. Rejects all changes made to the model instance since either creation, or the last commit operation. Modified fields are reverted to their original values.
Developers should subscribe to the Ext.data.Store#update event to have their code notified of reject operations.
silent : Boolean (optional)
true to skip notification of the owning store of the change.
Defaults to: false
Saves the model instance using the configured proxy.
options : Object (optional)
Options to pass to the proxy. Config object for Ext.data.operation.Operation.
The operation
Sets the given field to the given value, marks the instance as dirty
fieldName : String / Object
The field to set, or an object containing key/value pairs
newValue : Object
The value for the field (if fieldName is a string).
options : Object (optional)
Options for governing this update.
convert : Boolean (optional)
Set to false to prevent any converters from
being called during the set operation. This may be useful when setting a large bunch of raw values.
Defaults to: true
dirty : Boolean (optional)
Pass false if the field values are to be
understood as non-dirty (fresh from the server). When true, this change will be
reflected in the modified collection.
Defaults to: true
commit : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to call the commit method after
setting fields. If this option is passed, the usual after change processing will be
bypassed. Commit will be called even if there are no field changes.
Defaults to: false
silent : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to suppress notification of any
changes made by this call. Use with caution.
Defaults to: false
The array of modified field names or null if nothing was modified.
Sets a single/multiple configuration options.
name : String / Object
The name of the property to set, or a set of key value pairs to set.
value : Object (optional)

Sets the model instance's id field to the given id.
id : Number / String
The new id
Set the session for this record.
session : Ext.data.Session
The session
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

constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.getName()); // alerts 'My.cool.Class'
}
});
My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'
className
Returns the configured Proxy for this Model.
The proxy
Asynchronously loads a model instance by id. Sample usage:
Ext.define('MyApp.User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{name: 'id', type: 'int'},
{name: 'name', type: 'string'}
]
});
MyApp.User.load(10, {
scope: this,
failure: function(record, operation) {
//do something if the load failed
},
success: function(record, operation) {
//do something if the load succeeded
},
callback: function(record, operation, success) {
//do something whether the load succeeded or failed
}
});
id : Number / String
The id of the model to load
options : Object (optional)
Config options for this load.
success : Function
A function to be called when the model is loaded successfully. The callback is passed the following parameters:
record : Ext.data.Model
The record.
operation : Ext.data.operation.Operation
The operation.
failure : Function
A function to be called when the model is unable to be loadedy. The callback is passed the following parameters:
record : Ext.data.Model
The record (null for a failure).
operation : Ext.data.operation.Operation
The operation.
callback : Function
A function to be called after a load, whether it was successful or not. The callback is passed the following parameters:
record : Ext.data.Model
The record (null for a failure).
operation : Ext.data.operation.Operation
The operation.
success : Boolean
true if the operation was successful
and the model was loaded.
scope : Object
The scope in which to execute the callback functions.
session : Ext.data.Session
The session for this record.
The newly created model. Note that the model will (probably) still be loading once it is returned from this method. To do any post-processing on the data, the appropriate place to do see is in the callback.
Used internally by the mixins pre-processor
name : Object
mixinClass : Object
Override members of this class. Overridden methods can be invoked via Ext.Base#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).
members : Object
The properties to add to this class. This should be specified as an object literal containing one or more properties.
this class
Removes the given set of fields from this model.
Available since: 5.0.0
removeFields : Boolean / String[]
The names of fields to remove or true
to remove all existing fields. Removes are processed first followed by adds so
if a field name appears in newFields as well that field will effectively be
added (however, in that case there is no need to include the field in this
array).
This method replaces the specified set of fields with a given set of new fields. Fields should normally be considered immutable, but if the timing is right (that is, before derived classes are declared), it is permissible to change the fields collection.
Available since: 5.0.0
newFields : String[] / Object[]
The new fields to add. Based on the name
of a field this may replace a previous field definition.
removeFields : Boolean / String[]
The names of fields to remove or true
to remove all existing fields. Removes are processed first followed by adds so
if a field name appears in newFields as well that field will effectively be
added (however, in that case there is no need to include the field in this
array).
Sets the Proxy to use for this model. Accepts any options that can be accepted by Ext.createByAlias.
