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
example)Available since 3.4.0 - not pictured in
the example) just after the member descriptionDefaults to: false)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.
classInstance.method1().method2().etc();false is returned from

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.
This class is a centralized place for formatting functions. It includes functions to format various different types of data, such as text, dates and numeric values.
This class contains several options for localization. These can be set once the library has loaded, all calls to the functions from that point will use the locale settings that were specified.
Options include:
This class also uses the default date format defined here: Ext.Date#defaultFormat.
There are two helper functions that return a new function that can be used in conjunction with grid renderers:
columns: [{
dataIndex: 'date',
renderer: Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer('Y-m-d')
}, {
dataIndex: 'time',
renderer: Ext.util.Format.numberRenderer('0.000')
}]
Functions that only take a single argument can also be passed directly:
columns: [{
dataIndex: 'cost',
renderer: Ext.util.Format.usMoney
}, {
dataIndex: 'productCode',
renderer: Ext.util.Format.uppercase
}]
XTemplates can also directly use Ext.util.Format functions:
new Ext.XTemplate([
'Date: {startDate:date("Y-m-d")}',
'Cost: {cost:usMoney}'
]);
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:
true
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
This may be set to true to make the currency function
append the currency sign to the formatted value.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
false
The number of decimal places that the currency function displays.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
2
The currency sign that the currency function displays.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
'$'
The character that the number function uses as a decimal point.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
'.'
This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.
Defaults to:
false
Simple format for a file size (xxx bytes, xxx KB, xxx MB).
Defaults to:
(function() {
var byteLimit = 1024,
kbLimit = 1048576,
mbLimit = 1073741824;
return function(size) {
var out;
if (size < byteLimit) {
if (size === 1) {
out = '1 byte';
} else {
out = size + ' bytes';
}
} else if (size < kbLimit) {
out = (Math.round(((size * 10) / byteLimit)) / 10) + ' KB';
} else if (size < mbLimit) {
out = (Math.round(((size * 10) / kbLimit)) / 10) + ' MB';
} else {
out = (Math.round(((size * 10) / mbLimit)) / 10) + ' GB';
}
return out;
};
})()
size : Number/String
The numeric value to format
The formatted file size
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
The percent sign that the percent function displays.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
'%'
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 character that the number function uses as a thousand separator.
This may be overridden in a locale file.
Defaults to:
','
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
Formats an object of name value properties as HTML element attribute values suitable for using when creating textual markup.
attributes : Object
An object containing the HTML attributes as properties eg: {height:40, vAlign:'top'}
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)

name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
config : Object
this
Alias for Ext.String#leftPad. Pads the left side of a string with a specified character. This is especially useful for normalizing number and date strings. Example usage:
var s = Ext.String.leftPad('123', 5, '0');
// s now contains the string: '00123'

var tpl = new Ext.Template('{value} * 10 = {value:math("* 10")}');
A function that operates on the passed value.
Converts newline characters to the HTML tag <br/>
v : String
The string value to format.
The string with embedded <br/> tags in place of newlines.
Formats the passed number according to the passed format string.
The number of digits after the decimal separator character specifies the number of decimal places in the resulting string. The local-specific decimal character is used in the result.
The presence of a thousand separator character in the format string specifies that the locale-specific thousand separator (if any) is inserted separating thousand groups.
By default, "," is expected as the thousand separator, and "." is expected as the decimal separator.
Locale-specific characters are always used in the formatted output when inserting thousand and decimal separators. These can be set using the thousandSeparator and decimalSeparator options.
The format string must specify separator characters according to US/UK conventions ("," as the thousand separator, and "." as the decimal separator)
To allow specification of format strings according to local conventions for separator characters, add
the string /i to the end of the format string. This format depends on the thousandSeparator and
decimalSeparator options. For example, if using European style separators, then the format string
can be specified as '0.000,00'. This would be equivalent to using '0,000.00' when using US style formatting.
Examples (123456.789):
0 - (123457) show only digits, no precision0.00 - (123456.79) show only digits, 2 precision0.0000 - (123456.7890) show only digits, 4 precision0,000 - (123,457) show comma and digits, no precision0,000.00 - (123,456.79) show comma and digits, 2 precision0,0.00 - (123,456.79) shortcut method, show comma and digits, 2 precision0.#### - (123,456.789) Allow maximum 4 decimal places, but do not right pad with zeroes0.00## - (123456.789) Show at least 2 decimal places, maximum 4, but do not right pad with zeroesv : Number

orValue : Mixed
Parses a number or string representing margin sizes into an object. Supports CSS-style margin declarations (e.g. 10, "10", "10 10", "10 10 10" and "10 10 10 10" are all valid options and would return the same result).
box : Number/String
The encoded margins

If value is a number, returns the argument from that index. For example
var s = Ext.util.Format.pick(2, 'zero', 'one', 'two');
// s === 'two'
Otherwise, value is treated in a truthy/falsey manner like so:
var s = Ext.util.Format.pick(null, 'first', 'second');
// s === 'first'
s = Ext.util.Format.pick({}, 'first', 'second');
// s === 'second'
The usefulness of this formatter method is in templates. For example:
{foo:pick("F","T")}
{bar:pick("first","second","third")}
value : Boolean
The "if" value.
firstValue : Mixed
secondValue : Mixed
Selectively return the plural form of a word based on a numeric value.
For example, the following template would result in "1 Comment". If the
value of count was 0 or greater than 1, the result would be "x Comments".
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate('{count:plural("Comment")}');
tpl.apply({
count: 1
}); // returns "1 Comment"
Examples using the static plural method call:
Ext.util.Format.plural(2, 'Comment');
// returns "2 Comments"
Ext.util.Format.plural(4, 'person', 'people');
// returns "4 people"

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'

Alias for Ext.String#toggle. Utility function that allows you to easily switch a string between two alternating values. The passed value is compared to the current string, and if they are equal, the other value that was passed in is returned. If they are already different, the first value passed in is returned. Note that this method returns the new value but does not change the current string.
// alternate sort directions
sort = Ext.String.toggle(sort, 'ASC', 'DESC');
// instead of conditional logic:
sort = (sort === 'ASC' ? 'DESC' : 'ASC');

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

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.
