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.

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

this example - see the Flags section below)Ext.container.Container
in this example). The source

will note the type of class or object returned and a description (Ext.Component

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.
The container that holds and manages instances of the Ext.draw.Surface in which Ext.draw.sprite.Sprite are rendered. Draw containers are used as the foundation for all of the chart classes but may also be created directly in order to create custom drawings.
In the previous example we created a draw container and configured it with a single sprite. The type of the sprite is Ext.draw.sprite.Circle, so if you run this code you'll see a green circle.
You can attach sprite event listeners to the draw container with the help of the Ext.draw.plugin.SpriteEvents plugin.
For more information on sprites, the core elements added to a draw container's surface, refer to the Ext.draw.sprite.Sprite documentation.
For more information on surfaces, the interface owned by the draw container used to manage all sprites, see the Ext.draw.Surface documentation.
Defines the engine (type of surface) used to render draw container contents.
The render engine is selected automatically depending on the platform used. Priority is given to the Ext.draw.engine.Canvas engine due to its performance advantage.
You may also set the engine config to be Ext.draw.engine.Svg
if so desired.
Defaults to:
"Ext.draw.engine.Canvas"
Defines a set of gradients that can be used as color properties (fillStyle and strokeStyle, but not shadowColor) in sprites. The gradients array is an array of objects with the following properties:
For example:
gradients: [{
id: 'gradientId1',
type: 'linear',
angle: 45,
stops: [{
offset: 0,
color: 'red'
}, {
offset: 1,
color: 'yellow'
}]
}, {
id: 'gradientId2',
type: 'radial',
stops: [{
offset: 0,
color: '#555',
}, {
offset: 1,
color: '#ddd',
}]
}]
Then the sprites can use 'gradientId1' and 'gradientId2' by setting the color attributes to those ids, for example:
sprite.setAttributes({
fillStyle: 'url(#gradientId1)',
strokeStyle: 'url(#gradientId2)'
});
Defaults to:
[]
The resize function that can be configured to have a behavior, e.g. resize draw surfaces based on new draw container dimensions.
Note: since resize events trigger renderFrame calls automatically,
return false
from the resize function, if it also calls renderFrame
,
to prevent double rendering.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of resizeHandler
resizeHandler : Function
The default URL used by download.
Defaults to:
"http://svg.sencha.io"
A list of export types supported by the server.
Defaults to:
["png", "pdf", "jpeg", "gif"]
Downloads an image or PDF of the chart / drawing or opens it in a separate browser tab/window if the download can't be triggered. The exact behavior is platform and browser specific. For more consistent results on mobile devices use the preview method instead. This method doesn't work in IE8.
config : Object (optional)
The following config options are supported:
url : String
The url to post the data to. Defaults to the defaultDownloadServerUrl configuration on the class.
format : String
The format of image to export. See the supportedFormats. Defaults to 'png' on the Sencha IO server. Note that you can't export to 'svg' format if the Ext.draw.engine.Canvas engine is used.
width : Number
A width to send to the server for configuring the image width. Defaults to natural image width on the Sencha IO server.
height : Number
A height to send to the server for configuring the image height. Defaults to natural image height on the Sencha IO server.
filename : String
The filename of the downloaded image. Defaults to 'chart' on the Sencha IO server. The config.format is used as a filename extension.
scale : Number
The scaling of the downloaded image. Defaults to 1 on the Sencha IO server. The server will try to determine the natural size of the image unless the width/height configs have been set. If the Ext.draw.engine.Canvas engine is used the natural image size will depend on the value of the window.devicePixelRatio. For example, for devices with devicePixelRatio of 2 the produced image will be two times larger than for devices with devicePixelRatio of 1 for the same drawing. This is done so that the users with devices with HiDPI screens get a downloaded image that looks as crisp on their device as the original drawing. If you want image size to be consistent across devices with different device pixel ratios, you can set the value of this config to 1/devicePixelRatio. This parameter is ignored by the Sencha IO server if config.format is set to 'svg'.
pdf : Object
PDF specific options. This config is only used if config.format is set to 'pdf'. The given object should be in either this format:
{
width: '200px',
height: '300px',
border: '0px'
}
or this format:
{
format: 'A4',
orientation: 'portrait',
border: '1cm'
}
Supported dimension units are: 'mm', 'cm', 'in', 'px'. No unit means 'px'. Supported formats are: 'A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'Legal', 'Letter', 'Tabloid'. Orientation ('portrait', 'landscape') is optional and defaults to 'portrait'.
jpeg : Object
JPEG specific options. This config is only used if config.format is set to 'jpeg'. The given object should be in this format:
{
quality: 80
}
Where quality is an integer between 0 and 100.
True if request was successfully sent to the server.
Produces an image of the chart / drawing.
format : String (optional)
Possible options are 'image' (the method will return an Image object) and 'stream' (the method will return the image as a byte stream). If missing, the data URI of the drawing's (or chart's) image will be returned. Note: for an SVG based drawing/chart in IE/Edge browsers the method will always return SVG markup instead of a data URI, as 'img' elements won't accept a data URI anyway in those browsers.
Get a surface by the given id or create one if it doesn't exist.
id : String (optional)
Defaults to: "main"
