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.

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.
Whether to make the auto-calculated minimum and maximum of the axis a multiple of the interval between the major ticks of the axis. If majorTickSteps, minimum or maximum configs have been set, this config will be ignored. Defaults to 'true'.
Defaults to:
true
Sets the value of adjustByMajorUnit
adjustByMajorUnit : Boolean
The minimum value drawn by the axis. If not set explicitly, the axis minimum will be calculated automatically.
Defaults to:
true
Sets the value of calculateByLabelSize
calculateByLabelSize : Boolean
Center of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
Defaults to:
null
Indicates the format the date will be rendered on. For example: 'M d' will render the dates as 'Jan 30', etc.
Defaults to:
null
An array containing the names of the record fields which should be mapped along the axis. This is optional if the binding between series and fields is clear.
Defaults to:
[]
If floating is a number, then it's a percentage displacement of the axis from its initial position
in the direction opposite to the axis' direction. For instance, '{position:"left", floating:75}' displays a vertical
axis at 3/4 of the chart, starting from the left. It is equivalent to '{position:"right", floating:25}'.
If floating is an object, then floating.value is the position of this axis along another axis,
defined by floating.alongAxis, where alongAxis is an ID, an Ext.chart.AbstractChart#axes config index,
or the other axis itself. alongAxis must have an opposite alignment.
For example:
axes: [
{
title: 'Average Temperature (F)',
type: 'numeric',
position: 'left',
id: 'temperature-vertical-axis',
minimum: -30,
maximum: 130
},
{
title: 'Month (2013)',
type: 'category',
position: 'bottom',
floating: {
value: 32,
alongAxis: 'temperature-vertical-axis'
}
}
]
Defaults to:
null
The grid configuration object for the Axis style. Can contain stroke or fill attributes.
Also may contain an odd or even property in which you only style things on odd or even rows.
For example:
grid {
odd: {
stroke: '#555'
},
even: {
stroke: '#ccc'
}
}
Defaults to:
false
Given a minimum and maximum bound for the series to be rendered (that can be obtained
automatically or by manually setting minimum and maximum) tick marks will be added
on each increment from the minimum value to the maximum one.
Defaults to:
0.5
The label configuration object for the Axis. This object may include style attributes
like spacing, padding, font that receives a string or number and
returns a new string with the modified values.
For more supported values, see the configurations for Ext.chart.sprite.Label.
Defaults to:
undefined
The axis layout config. See Ext.chart.axis.layout.Layout
Defaults to:
'continuous'
Sets the value of layout
layout : Object / Ext.chart.axis.layout.Layout
Length of the axis position. Equals to the size of inner rect on the docking side of this axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
Defaults to:
0
The limit lines configuration for the axis. For example:
limits: [{
value: 50,
line: {
strokeStyle: 'red',
lineDash: [6, 3],
title: {
text: 'Monthly minimum',
fontSize: 14
}
}
}]
Defaults to:
null
Axis (itself, its ID or index) that this axis is linked to. When an axis is linked to a master axis, it will use the same data as the master axis. It can be used to show additional info, or to ease reading the chart by duplicating the scales.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of linkedTo
linkedTo : Ext.chart.axis.Axis / String / Number
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'); }
}
}
});
An alias for addListener. In versions prior to 5.1, listeners had a generated setter which could be called to add listeners. In 5.1 the listeners config is not processed using the config system and has no generated setter, so this method is provided for backward compatibility. The preferred way of adding listeners is to use the on method.
listeners : Object
The listeners
Forces the number of major ticks to the specified value. Both minimum and maximum should be specified.
Defaults to:
0
Sets the value of majorTickSteps
majorTickSteps : Number
The margin of the axis. Used to control the spacing between axes in charts with multiple axes.
Unlike CSS where the margin is added on all 4 sides of an element, the margin is the total space
that is added horizontally for a vertical axis, vertically for a horizontal axis,
and radially for an angular axis.
Defaults to:
0
The maximum value drawn by the axis. If not set explicitly, the axis maximum will be calculated automatically.
Defaults to:
NaN
The minimum value drawn by the axis. If not set explicitly, the axis minimum will be calculated automatically.
Defaults to:
NaN
The number of small ticks between two major ticks.
Defaults to:
0
Sets the value of minorTickSteps
minorTickSteps : Number
Indicates that the axis needs high precision surface implementation. See Ext.draw.engine.Canvas#highPrecision
Defaults to:
false
Sets the value of needHighPrecision
needHighPrecision : Boolean
Radius of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
Defaults to:
null
If 'true' the range of the axis will be a union of ranges of all the axes with the same direction. Defaults to 'false'.
Defaults to:
false
Sets the value of reconcileRange
reconcileRange : Boolean
Allows to change the text shown next to the tick.
Defaults to:
null
axis : Ext.chart.axis.Axis
The axis.
label : String/Number
The label.
layoutContext : Object
The object that holds calculated positions of axis' ticks based on current layout, segmenter, axis length and configuration.
lastLabel : String/Number/null
The last label (if any).
The label to display.
Rotation of the polar axis. WARNING: Meant to be set automatically by chart. Do not set it manually.
Defaults to:
null
The segmenter config. See Ext.chart.axis.segmenter.Segmenter
Defaults to:
'numeric'
Sets the value of segmenter
segmenter : Object / Ext.chart.axis.segmenter.Segmenter
An array with two components:
Defaults to:
[Ext.Date.DAY, 1]
The style for the axis line and ticks. Refer to the Ext.chart.axis.sprite.Axis
Defaults to:
null
The title for the Axis. If given a String, the 'text' attribute of the title sprite will be set, otherwise the style will be set.
Defaults to:
null
The margin around the axis title. Unlike CSS where the margin is added on all 4
sides of an element, the titleMargin is the total space that is added horizontally
for a vertical title and vertically for an horizontal title, with half the titleMargin
being added on either side.
Defaults to:
4
Specify the proportion of the axis to be rendered. The series bound to this axis will be synchronized and transformed accordingly.
Defaults to:
[
0,
1
]
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
Matches options property names within a listeners specification object - property names which are never used as event names.
Defaults to:
{
scope: 1,
delay: 1,
buffer: 1,
onFrame: 1,
single: 1,
args: 1,
destroyable: 1,
priority: 1,
order: 1
}
This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.
Defaults to:
false
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
The full data range of the axis. Should not be set directly, Clear it to null
and use getRange to update.
Defaults to:
null
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("itemclick", this.onItemClick, 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,
select: this.onSelect,
viewready: this.onViewReady,
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},
viewready: {fn: panel.onViewReady, scope: panel}
});
Names of methods in a specified scope may also be used:
myGridPanel.on({
cellclick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
viewready: {fn: 'onViewReady', 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/String (optional)
The method the event invokes or 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: 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 Ext.dom.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:
var panel = new Ext.panel.Panel({
title: 'The title',
listeners: {
click: this.handlePanelClick,
element: 'body'
}
});
In order to remove listeners attached using the element, you'll need to reference the element itself as seen below.
panel.body.un(...)
delegate : String (optional)
A simple selector to filter the event target or look for a descendant of the target.
The "delegate" option is only available on Ext.dom.Element instances (or when attaching a listener to a Ext.dom.Element via a Component using the element option).
See the delegate example below.
capture : Boolean (optional)
When set to true, the listener is fired in the capture phase of the event propagation
sequence, instead of the default bubble phase.
The capture option is only available on Ext.dom.Element instances (or
when attaching a listener to a Ext.dom.Element via a Component using the
element option).
stopPropagation : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call stopPropagation on the event object
before firing the handler.
preventDefault : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call preventDefault on the event object
before firing the handler.
stopEvent : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call stopEvent on the event object
before firing the handler.
args : Array (optional)
Optional arguments to pass to the handler function. Any additional arguments passed to fireEvent will be appended to these arguments.
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.
This syntax can be a helpful shortcut to using un; particularly when
removing multiple listeners. NOTE - not compatible when using the element
option. See un for the proper syntax for removing listeners added using the
element config.
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 handlers 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. A priority must be an integer to be valid. Fractional values are reserved for internal framework use.
order : String (optional)
A legacy option that is provided for backward compatibility.
It is recommended to use the priority option instead. Available options are:
'before': equal to a priority of 100'current': equal to a priority of 0 or default priority'after': equal to a priority of -100Defaults to:
'current'
order : String (optional)
A shortcut for the order event option. Provided for backward compatibility.
Please use the priority event option instead.
Defaults to: 'current'
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();
The addManagedListener method is used when some object (call it "A") is listening to an event on another observable object ("B") and you want to remove that listener from "B" when "A" is destroyed. This is not an issue when "B" is destroyed because all of its listeners will be removed at that time.
Example:
Ext.define('Foo', {
extend: 'Ext.Component',
initComponent: function () {
this.addManagedListener(MyApp.SomeGlobalSharedMenu, 'show', this.doSomething);
this.callParent();
}
});
As you can see, when an instance of Foo is destroyed, it ensures that the 'show'
listener on the menu (MyApp.SomeGlobalSharedMenu) is also removed.
As of version 5.1 it is no longer necessary to use this method in most cases because
listeners are automatically managed if the scope object provided to
addListener is an Observable instance.
However, if the observable instance and scope are not the same object you
still need to use mon or addManagedListener if you want the listener to be
managed.
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/String (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event
name, this is the handler function or the name of a method on the specified
scope.
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 and private methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
extend: 'My.Base',
// privates: {
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',
// privates: {
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 method-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 method-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 re-fires the event from this object as the passed event name.
newName : String
The name under which to re-fire 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 and executes a function (action).
By default, the action function will be executed after any "before" event handlers
(as specified using the order option of
addListener), but before any other
handlers are fired. This gives the "before" handlers an opportunity to
cancel the event by returning false, and prevent the action function from
being called.
The action can also be configured to run after normal handlers, but before any "after"
handlers (as specified using the order event option) by passing 'after'
as the order parameter. This configuration gives any event handlers except
for "after" handlers the opportunity to cancel the event and prevent the action
function from being called.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Array
Arguments to pass to handlers and to the action function.
fn : Function
The action function.
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)
Event options for the action function. Accepts any
of the options of addListener
order : String (optional)
The order to call the action function relative
too the event handlers ('before' or 'after'). Note that this option is
simply used to sort the action function relative to the event handlers by "priority".
An order of 'before' is equivalent to a priority of 99.5, while an order of
'after' is equivalent to a priority of -99.5. See the priority option
of addListener for more details.
Defaults to: 'before'
Deprecated since version 5.5
Use fireEventAction instead.
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.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and executes a function (action). Evented Actions will automatically dispatch a 'before' event passing. This event will be given a special controller that allows for pausing/resuming of the event flow.
By pausing the controller the updater and events will not run until resumed. Pausing, however, will not stop the processing of any other before events.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Array
Arguments to pass to handlers and to the action function.
fn : Function/String
The action function.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is
executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
fnArgs : Array/Boolean (optional)
Optional arguments for the action fn. If not
given, the normal args will be used to call fn. If false is passed, the
args are used but if the first argument is this instance it will be removed
from the args passed to the action function.
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.
Mapping data value into coordinate.
value : *
field : String
idx : Number (optional)
items : Ext.util.MixedCollection (optional)
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
id
Returns the initial configuration passed to the constructor when instantiating this class.
Given this example Ext.button.Button definition and instance:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.Button', {
extend: 'Ext.button.Button',
xtype: 'mybutton',
scale: 'large',
enableToggle: true
});
var btn = Ext.create({
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
text: 'Test Button'
});
Calling btn.getInitialConfig() would return an object including the config
options passed to the create method:
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: // The document body itself
text: 'Test Button'
Calling btn.getInitialConfig('text')returns 'Test Button'.
name : String (optional)
Name of the config option to return.
The full config object or a single config value
when name parameter specified.
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'
config : Object
this
Checks if all events, or a specific event, is suspended.
event : String (optional)
The name of the specific event to check
true if events are suspended
Adds a "destroyable" object to an internal list of objects that will be destroyed
when this instance is destroyed (via method-destroy).
name : String
value : Object
The value passed.
Shorthand for addManagedListener. The addManagedListener method is used when some object (call it "A") is listening to an event on another observable object ("B") and you want to remove that listener from "B" when "A" is destroyed. This is not an issue when "B" is destroyed because all of its listeners will be removed at that time.
Example:
Ext.define('Foo', {
extend: 'Ext.Component',
initComponent: function () {
this.addManagedListener(MyApp.SomeGlobalSharedMenu, 'show', this.doSomething);
this.callParent();
}
});
As you can see, when an instance of Foo is destroyed, it ensures that the 'show'
listener on the menu (MyApp.SomeGlobalSharedMenu) is also removed.
As of version 5.1 it is no longer necessary to use this method in most cases because
listeners are automatically managed if the scope object provided to
addListener is an Observable instance.
However, if the observable instance and scope are not the same object you
still need to use mon or addManagedListener if you want the listener to be
managed.
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/String (optional)
If the ename parameter was an event
name, this is the handler function or the name of a method on the specified
scope.
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();
Shorthand for removeManagedListener. 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.
The on method is shorthand for addListener.
Appends an event handler to this object. For example:
myGridPanel.on("itemclick", this.onItemClick, 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,
select: this.onSelect,
viewready: this.onViewReady,
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},
viewready: {fn: panel.onViewReady, scope: panel}
});
Names of methods in a specified scope may also be used:
myGridPanel.on({
cellclick: {fn: 'onCellClick', scope: this, single: true},
viewready: {fn: 'onViewReady', 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/String (optional)
The method the event invokes or 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: 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 Ext.dom.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:
var panel = new Ext.panel.Panel({
title: 'The title',
listeners: {
click: this.handlePanelClick,
element: 'body'
}
});
In order to remove listeners attached using the element, you'll need to reference the element itself as seen below.
panel.body.un(...)
delegate : String (optional)
A simple selector to filter the event target or look for a descendant of the target.
The "delegate" option is only available on Ext.dom.Element instances (or when attaching a listener to a Ext.dom.Element via a Component using the element option).
See the delegate example below.
capture : Boolean (optional)
When set to true, the listener is fired in the capture phase of the event propagation
sequence, instead of the default bubble phase.
The capture option is only available on Ext.dom.Element instances (or
when attaching a listener to a Ext.dom.Element via a Component using the
element option).
stopPropagation : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call stopPropagation on the event object
before firing the handler.
preventDefault : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call preventDefault on the event object
before firing the handler.
stopEvent : Boolean (optional)
This option is only valid for listeners bound to Ext.dom.Element.
true to call stopEvent on the event object
before firing the handler.
args : Array (optional)
Optional arguments to pass to the handler function. Any additional arguments passed to fireEvent will be appended to these arguments.
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.
This syntax can be a helpful shortcut to using un; particularly when
removing multiple listeners. NOTE - not compatible when using the element
option. See un for the proper syntax for removing listeners added using the
element config.
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 handlers 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. A priority must be an integer to be valid. Fractional values are reserved for internal framework use.
order : String (optional)
A legacy option that is provided for backward compatibility.
It is recommended to use the priority option instead. Available options are:
'before': equal to a priority of 100'current': equal to a priority of 0 or default priority'after': equal to a priority of -100Defaults to:
'current'
order : String (optional)
A shortcut for the order event option. Provided for backward compatibility.
Please use the priority event option instead.
Defaults to: 'current'
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();
Appends an after-event handler.
Same as addListener with order set
to 'after'.
eventName : String/String[]/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
fn : Function/String
The method the event invokes.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope for fn.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Appends a before-event handler. Returning false from the handler will stop the event.
Same as addListener with order set
to 'before'.
eventName : String/String[]/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
fn : Function/String
The method the event invokes.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope for fn.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Expands the range of the axis based on the range of other axes with the same direction (if any).
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[]/Object
Array of event names to relay or an Object with key/value pairs translating to ActualEventName/NewEventName respectively. For example: this.relayEvents(this, {add:'push', remove:'pop'});
Would now redispatch the add event of this as a push event and the remove event as a pop event.
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 addListener call.
scope : Object (optional)

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

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.

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).

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.

}
});
var kitty = new My.awesome.Cat();

method2: function() { ... }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',

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).
