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

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, 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.
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.
Specify true to defer trigger start by 1000 ms.
Specify a Number for the number of milliseconds to defer trigger start.
Defaults to:
false
A Ext.util.Region (Or an element from which a Region measurement will be read) which is used to constrain the result of the getOffset call.
This may be set any time during the DragTracker's lifecycle to set a dynamic constraining region.
A CSS selector which identifies child elements within the DragTracker's encapsulating Element which are the tracked elements. This limits tracking to only begin when the matching elements are mousedowned.
This may also be a specific child element within the DragTracker's encapsulating element to use as the tracked element.
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 Ext.Component
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 Ext.view.View'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'); }
}
}
});
A CSS class to add to the DragTracker's target element when the element (or, if the delegate option is used, when a delegate element) is mouseovered.
If the delegate option is used, these events fire only when a delegate element is entered of left.
Specify false to enable default actions on onMouseDown events.
Defaults to:
true
Specify true to stop the mousedown event from bubbling to outer listeners from the target element (or its delegates).
Defaults to:
false
Number of pixels the drag target must be moved before dragging is considered to have started.
Defaults to:
5
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
The element being dragged.
Only valid during drag operations.
If the delegate option is used, this will be the delegate element which was mousedowned.
Initial suspended call count. Incremented when suspendEvents is called, decremented when resumeEvents is called.
Defaults to:
0
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 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);
}
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
true in this class to identify an object as an instantiated Observable, or subclass thereof.
Defaults to:
true
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
Adds declarative listeners as nested arrays of listener objects.
listeners : Array
true if any listeners were added
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
The on method is 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}
});
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 Ext.util.Observable#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.
onFrame : Number
Causes the handler to be scheduled to run at the next animation frame event. If the event fires again before that time, the handler is not rescheduled - the handler will only be called once when the next animation frame is fired, with the last set of arguments passed.
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 Ext.Component. 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 Ext.Component 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.
Defaults to:
false
priority : Number (optional)
An optional numeric priority that determines the order in which event handlers are run. Event handlers with no priority will be run as if they had a priority of 0. Handlers with a higher priority will be prioritized to run sooner than those with a lower priority. Negative numbers can be used to set a priority lower than the default. Internally, the framework uses a range of 1000 or greater, and -1000 or lesser for handers that are intended to run before or after all others, so it is recommended to stay within the range of -999 to 999 when setting the priority of event handlers in application-level code.
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
});
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();
Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Ext.Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is destroyed.
item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.dom.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.
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();
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 an event handling function which refires the event from this object as the passed event name.
newName : String
The name under which to refire the passed parameters.
beginEnd : Array (optional)
The caller can specify on which indices to slice.
This method is called to cleanup an object and its resources. After calling this method, the object should not be used any further.
Continue to fire event.
eventName : String
args : Array
bubbles : Boolean
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');
}
}
});
eventNames : String/String[]
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name, plus the options object passed
to addListener).
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component#getBubbleTarget) by calling enableBubble.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Object...
Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameter list.
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component#getBubbleTarget) by calling enableBubble.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Object[]
An array of parameters which are passed to handlers.
returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.
Gets the bubbling parent for an Observable
The bubble parent. null is returned if no bubble target exists
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.
Return the Region into which the drag operation is constrained. Either the XY pointer itself can be constrained, or the dragTarget element The private property _constrainRegion is cached until onMouseUp
Returns the drag target. This is usually the DragTracker's encapsulating element.
If the delegate option is being used, this may be a child element which matches the delegate selector.
The element currently being tracked.
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 X, Y offset of the current mouse position from the mousedown point.
This method may optionally constrain the real offset values, and returns a point coerced in one of two modes:
point
The current mouse position is coerced into the constrainRegion and the resulting position is returned.dragTarget
The new Ext.util.Region of the dragTarget is calculated
based upon the current mouse position, and then coerced into the constrainRegion. The returned
mouse position is then adjusted by the same delta as was used to coerce the region.constrainMode : String
If omitted the true mouse position is returned. May be passed
as point or dragTarget. See above.
The X, Y offset from the mousedown point, optionally constrained.
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.
eventName : String
The name of the event to check for
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', {
// 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

delay: 100
});
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();
Template method which should be overridden by each DragTracker instance. Called when the user first clicks and holds the mouse button down. Return false to disallow the drag
e : Ext.event.Event

This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
Template method which should be overridden by each DragTracker instance. Called whenever a drag has been detected.
e : Ext.event.Event
The event object
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
Template method which should be overridden by each DragTracker instance. Called when a drag operation has been completed (e.g. the user clicked and held the mouse down, dragged the element and then released the mouse button)
e : Ext.event.Event
The event object
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
Template method which should be overridden by each DragTracker instance. Called when a drag operation starts (e.g. the user has moved the tracked element beyond the specified tolerance)
e : Ext.event.Event
The event object
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
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 (unless the event is handled by a controller's control/listen event listener in which case 'this' will be the controller rather than the grid).
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'.
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.
eventName : String
The type of event the handler was associated with.
fn : Function
The handler to remove. This must be a reference to the function passed into the Ext.util.Observable#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 Ext.util.Observable#addListener or the listener will not be removed.
Removes listeners that were added by the mon method.
item : Ext.util.Observable/Ext.dom.Element
The item from which to remove a listener/listeners.
ename : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
fn : Function (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
scope : Object (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event name, this is the scope (this reference)
in which the handler function is executed.
Remove a single managed listener item
isClear : Boolean
True if this is being called during a clear
managedListener : Object
The managed listener item See removeManagedListener for other args
Gets the default scope for firing late bound events (string names with no scope attached) at runtime.
defaultScope : Object (optional)
The default scope to return if none is found.
Defaults to: this
The default event scope
Resumes firing of the named event(s).
After calling this method to resume events, the events will fire when requested to fire.
Note that if the suspendEvent method is called multiple times for a certain event, this converse method will have to be called the same number of times for it to resume firing.
eventName : String...
Multiple event names to resume.
Resumes firing events (see suspendEvents).
If events were suspended using the queueSuspended parameter, then all events fired
during event suspension will be sent to any listeners now.
discardQueue : Boolean (optional)
true to prevent any previously queued events from firing
while we were suspended. See suspendEvents.
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)
The value to set for the name parameter.
this
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
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.
eventName : String...
Multiple event names to suspend.
Suspends the firing of all events. (see resumeEvents)
queueSuspended : Boolean
true to queue up suspended events to be fired
after the resumeEvents call instead of discarding all suspended events.
Shorthand for removeListener. Removes an event handler.
eventName : String
The type of event the handler was associated with.
fn : Function
The handler to remove. This must be a reference to the function passed into the Ext.util.Observable#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 Ext.util.Observable#addListener or the listener will not be removed.
Adds new config properties to this class. This is called for classes when they are declared, then for any mixins that class may define and finally for any overrides defined that target the class.
config : Object
mixinClass : Class (optional)
The mixin class if the configs are from a mixin.
Add methods / properties to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('My.awesome.Cat', {

alert('Meowww...');
}
});
var kitty = new My.awesome.Cat();
kitty.meow();
members : Object
The members to add to this class.
isStatic : Boolean (optional)
Pass true if the members are static.
Defaults to: false
privacy : Boolean (optional)
Pass true if the members are private. This
only has meaning in debug mode and only for methods.
Defaults to: false
Add / override static properties of this class.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
...
});
My.cool.Class.addStatics({
someProperty: 'someValue', // My.cool.Class.someProperty = 'someValue'
method1: function() { ... }, // My.cool.Class.method1 = function() { ... };
method2: function() { ... } // My.cool.Class.method2 = function() { ... };
});
members : Object
this
Borrow another class' members to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('Bank', {
money: '$$$',
printMoney: function() {
alert('$$$$$$$');
}
});
Ext.define('Thief', {
...
});
Thief.borrow(Bank, ['money', 'printMoney']);
var steve = new Thief();
alert(steve.money); // alerts '$$$'
steve.printMoney(); // alerts '$$$$$$$'
fromClass : Ext.Base
The class to borrow members from
members : Array/String
The names of the members to borrow
this
Create a new instance of this Class.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
...
});
My.cool.Class.create({
someConfig: true
});
All parameters are passed to the constructor of the class.
the created instance.
Create aliases for existing prototype methods. Example:
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
method1: function() { ... },
method2: function() { ... }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()
alias : String/Object
The new method name, or an object to set multiple aliases. See flexSetter
origin : String/Object
The original method name
Returns the Ext.Configurator for this class.
Get the current class' name in string format.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.getName()); // alerts 'My.cool.Class'
}
});
My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'
className
Used internally by the mixins pre-processor
name : Object
mixinClass : 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"
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).
