/** * Ext Direct aims to streamline communication between the client and server * by providing a single interface that reduces the amount of common code * typically required to validate data and handle returned data packets * (reading data, error conditions, etc). * * The Ext.direct namespace includes several classes for a closer integration * with the server-side. The Ext.data namespace also includes classes for working * with Ext.data.Stores which are backed by data from an Ext Direct method. * * # Specification * * For additional information consult the [Ext Direct Specification][1]. * * # Providers * * Ext Direct uses a provider architecture, where one or more providers are used * to transport data to and from the server. There are several providers that exist * in the core at the moment: * * - {@link Ext.direct.JsonProvider JsonProvider} for simple JSON operations * - {@link Ext.direct.PollingProvider PollingProvider} for repeated requests * - {@link Ext.direct.RemotingProvider RemotingProvider} exposes server side to the client. * * A provider does not need to be invoked directly, providers are added via * {@link Ext.direct.Manager #addProvider}. RemotingProviders' API declarations * can also be loaded with {@link Ext.direct.Manager #loadProvider}, with * Provider instance created automatically after successful retrieval. * * # Router * * Ext Direct RemotingProviders utilize a "router" on the server to direct * requests from the client to the appropriate server-side method. Because * the Ext Direct API is platform-agnostic, you could completely swap out * a Java based server solution and replace it with one that uses C# * without changing the client side JavaScript at all, or vice versa. * * # Server side events * * Custom events from the server may be handled by the client by adding listeners, for example: * * {"type":"event","name":"message","data":"Successfully polled at: 11:19:30 am"} * * // add a handler for a 'message' event sent by the server * Ext.direct.Manager.on('message', function(e){ * out.append(String.format('<p><i>{0}</i></p>', e.data)); * out.el.scrollTo('t', 100000, true); * }); * * [1]: http://sencha.com/products/extjs/extdirect * * @singleton * @alternateClassName Ext.Direct */Ext.define('Ext.direct.Manager', { singleton: true, requires: [ 'Ext.util.MixedCollection' ], mixins: [ 'Ext.mixin.Observable' ], /** * Exception types. */ exceptions: { TRANSPORT: 'xhr', PARSE: 'parse', DATA: 'data', LOGIN: 'login', SERVER: 'exception' }, // Classes of Providers available to the application providerClasses: {}, // Remoting Methods registered with the Manager remotingMethods: {}, config: { /** * @cfg {String} [varName="Ext.app.REMOTING_API"] * Default variable name to use for Ext.Direct API declaration. */ varName: 'Ext.app.REMOTING_API' }, apiNotFoundError: 'Ext Direct API was not found at {0}', /** * @event event * * Fires after an event. * * @param {Ext.direct.Event} event The {@link Ext.direct.Event Event} that occurred. * @param {Ext.direct.Provider} provider The {@link Ext.direct.Provider Provider} * that provided the event. */ /** * @event exception * * Fires after an event exception. * * @param {Ext.direct.Event} event The {@link Ext.direct.Event Event} that occurred. * @param {Ext.direct.Provider} provider The {@link Ext.direct.Provider Provider} * that provided the event. */ /** * @event providerload * * Fired by {@link #loadProvider} after successfully loading RemotingProvider API * declaration and creating a new Provider instance. * * @param {String} url The URL used to retrieve remoting API. * @param {Ext.direct.Provider} provider The {@link Ext.direct.Provider Provider} * instance that was created. */ /** * @event providerloaderror * * Fired by {@link #loadProvider} when remoting API could not be loaded, or * Provider instance could not be created. * * @param {String} url The URL used to retrieve remoting API. * @param {String} error The error that occured. */ constructor: function() { var me = this; me.mixins.observable.constructor.call(me); me.transactions = new Ext.util.MixedCollection(); me.providers = new Ext.util.MixedCollection(); }, /** * Adds an Ext Direct Provider and creates the proxy or stub methods to execute * server-side methods for RemotingProviders.
