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
an event handler- Indicates a framework class
- A singleton framework class. *See the singleton flag for more information
- A component-type framework class (any class within the Ext JS framework that extends 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.
A template class that supports advanced functionality like:
XTemplate provides the templating mechanism built into Ext.view.View.
The Ext.Template describes the acceptable parameters to pass to the constructor. The following examples demonstrate all of the supported features.
This is the data object used for reference in each code example:
var data = {
name: 'Don Griffin',
title: 'Senior Technomage',
company: 'Sencha Inc.',
drinks: ['Coffee', 'Water', 'More Coffee'],
kids: [
{ name: 'Aubrey', age: 17 },
{ name: 'Joshua', age: 13 },
{ name: 'Cale', age: 10 },
{ name: 'Nikol', age: 5 },
{ name: 'Solomon', age: 0 }
]
};
The tpl tag and the for operator are used to process the provided data object:
Examples:
<tpl for=".">...</tpl> // loop through array at root node
<tpl for="foo">...</tpl> // loop through array at foo node
<tpl for="foo.bar">...</tpl> // loop through array at foo.bar node
<tpl for="." between=",">...</tpl> // loop through array at root node and insert ',' between each item
Using the sample data above:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for=".">', // process the data.kids node
'<p>{#}. {name}</p>', // use current array index to autonumber
'</tpl></p>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data.kids); // pass the kids property of the data object
An example illustrating how the for property can be leveraged to access specified members of the provided data object to populate the template:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Title: {title}</p>',
'<p>Company: {company}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">', // interrogate the kids property within the data
'<p>{name}</p>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data); // pass the root node of the data object
Flat arrays that contain values (and not objects) can be auto-rendered using the special {.} variable inside a
loop. This variable will represent the value of the array at the current index:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>{name}\'s favorite beverages:</p>',
'<tpl for="drinks">',
'<div> - {.}</div>',
'</tpl>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
When processing a sub-template, for example while looping through a child array, you can access the parent object's members via the parent object:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<tpl if="age > 1">',
'<p>{name}</p>',
'<p>Dad: {parent.name}</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
The foreach operator is used to loop over an object's properties. The following example demonstrates looping over the main data object's properties:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<dl>',
'<tpl foreach=".">',
'<dt>{$}</dt>', // the special **`{$}`** variable contains the property name
'<dd>{.}</dd>', // within the loop, the **`{.}`** variable is set to the property value
'</tpl>',
'</dl>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
The tpl tag and the if operator are used to provide conditional checks for deciding whether or not to render specific parts of the template.
Using the sample data above:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<tpl if="age > 1">',
'<p>{name}</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
More advanced conditionals are also supported:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<p>{name} is a ',
'<tpl if="age >= 13">',
'<p>teenager</p>',
'<tpl elseif="age >= 2">',
'<p>kid</p>',
'<tpl else>',
'<p>baby</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<p>{name} is a ',
'<tpl switch="name">',
'<tpl case="Aubrey" case="Nikol">',
'<p>girl</p>',
'<tpl default>',
'<p>boy</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
A break is implied between each case and default, however, multiple cases can be listed
in a single <tpl> tag.
Examples:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
"<tpl if='age > 1 && age < 10'>Child</tpl>",
"<tpl if='age >= 10 && age < 18'>Teenager</tpl>",
"<tpl if='this.isGirl(name)'>...</tpl>",
'<tpl if="id == \'download\'">...</tpl>',
"<tpl if='needsIcon'><img src='{icon}' class='{iconCls}'/></tpl>",
"<tpl if='name == \"Don\"'>Hello</tpl>"
);
The following basic math operators may be applied directly on numeric data values:
+ - * /
For example:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<tpl if="age > 1">', // <-- Note that the > is encoded
'<p>{#}: {name}</p>', // <-- Auto-number each item
'<p>In 5 Years: {age+5}</p>', // <-- Basic math
'<p>Dad: {parent.name}</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
Anything between {[ ... ]} is considered code to be executed in the scope of the template.
The expression is evaluated and the result is included in the generated result. There are
some special variables available in that code:
push to later
join).This example demonstrates basic row striping using an inline code block and the xindex variable:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Company: {[values.company.toUpperCase() + ", " + values.title]}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<div class="{[xindex % 2 === 0 ? "even" : "odd"]}">',
'{name}',
'</div>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
Any code contained in "verbatim" blocks (using "{% ... %}") will be inserted directly in
the generated code for the template. These blocks are not included in the output. This
can be used for simple things like break/continue in a loop, or control structures or
method calls (when they don't produce output). The this references the template instance.
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Company: {[values.company.toUpperCase() + ", " + values.title]}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'{% if (xindex % 2 === 0) continue; %}',
'{name}',
'{% if (xindex > 100) break; %}',
'</div>',
'</tpl></p>'
);
One or more member functions can be specified in a configuration object passed into the XTemplate constructor for more complex processing:
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate(
'<p>Name: {name}</p>',
'<p>Kids: ',
'<tpl for="kids">',
'<tpl if="this.isGirl(name)">',
'<p>Girl: {name} - {age}</p>',
'<tpl else>',
'<p>Boy: {name} - {age}</p>',
'</tpl>',
'<tpl if="this.isBaby(age)">',
'<p>{name} is a baby!</p>',
'</tpl>',
'</tpl></p>',
{
// XTemplate configuration:
disableFormats: true,
// member functions:
isGirl: function(name){
return name == 'Aubrey' || name == 'Nikol';
},
isBaby: function(age){
return age < 1;
}
}
);
tpl.overwrite(panel.body, data);
Optional. A statement, or array of statements which set up vars which may then
be accessed within the scope of the generated function.
var data = {
name: 'Don Griffin',
isWizard: true,
title: 'Senior Technomage',
company: 'Sencha Inc.'
};
var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate('{[values.isWizard ? wizard : notSoWizard]}' +
' {name}', {
definitions: 'var wizard = "Wizard", notSoWizard = "Townsperson";'
});
console.log(tpl.apply(data));
// LOGS: Wizard Don Griffin
True to disable format functions in the template. If the template doesn't contain format functions, setting disableFormats to true will reduce apply time. Defaults to false.
Defaults to:
false
Expressions in templates that traverse "dot paths" and fail (due to null at some
stage) have always been expanded as empty strings. This is convenient in most cases
but doing so can also mask errors in the template. Setting this to true changes
this default so that any expression errors will be thrown as exceptions.
Defaults to:
false
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
Setting this property to false will prevent nulling object references
on a Class instance after destruction. Setting this to "async" will delay
the clearing for approx 50ms.
Defaults to:
true
Available since: 6.2.0
Setting this property to true will result in setting the object's
prototype to null after the destruction sequence is fully completed.
After that, most attempts at calling methods on the object instance
will result in "method not defined" exception. This can be very helpful
with tracking down otherwise hard to find bugs like runaway Ajax requests,
timed functions not cleared on destruction, etc.
Note that this option can only work in browsers that support Object.setPrototypeOf
method, and is only available in debugging mode.
Defaults to:
false
Available since: 6.2.0
This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.
Defaults to:
false
The function that applies this template. This is created on first use of the
template (calls to apply or applyOut).
Defaults to:
null
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 Template, or subclass thereof.
Defaults to:
true
Regular expression used to extract tokens.
Finds the following expressions within a format string
{AND?}
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
OR AND?
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
(\d+) ([a-z][\w-]*) / \ index name / \ / \ / \ \:([a-z.]) (?:((.?)?))? formatFn args
Numeric index or (name followed by optional formatting function and args)
Defaults to:
/\{(?:(?:(\d+)|([a-z_][\w\-]*))(?::([a-z_\.]+)(?:\(([^\)]*?)?\))?)?)\}/gi
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
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
Applies the supplied values to the template and appends the new node(s) to the specified el.
For example usage see Ext.Template.
el : String/HTMLElement/Ext.dom.Element
The context element
values : Object/Array
The template values. See applyTemplate for details.
returnElement : Boolean (optional)
true to return an Ext.Element.
The new node or Element
Returns an HTML fragment of this template with the specified values applied.
values : Object/Array
The template values. Can be an array if your params are numeric:
var tpl = new Ext.Template('Name: {0}, Age: {1}');
tpl.apply(['John', 25]);
or an object:
var tpl = new Ext.Template('Name: {name}, Age: {age}');
tpl.apply({name: 'John', age: 25});
The HTML fragment
Appends the result of this template to the provided output array.
values : Object/Array
The template values. See apply.
out : Array
The array to which output is pushed.
The given out array.
Alias for apply. Returns an HTML fragment of this template with the specified values applied.
values : Object/Array
The template values. Can be an array if your params are numeric:
var tpl = new Ext.Template('Name: {0}, Age: {1}');
tpl.apply(['John', 25]);
or an object:
var tpl = new Ext.Template('Name: {name}, Age: {age}');
tpl.apply({name: 'John', age: 25});
The HTML fragment
Call the original method that was previously overridden with Ext.Base#override
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.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
args : Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the overridden method
Deprecated since version 4.1.0
Use method-callParent instead.
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
Does nothing. XTemplates are compiled automatically, so this function simply returns this.
this
Creates new template.
html : String...
List of strings to be concatenated into template. Alternatively an array of strings can be given, but then no config object may be passed.
config : Object (optional)
Config object
This method is called to cleanup an object and its resources. After calling this method, the object should not be used any further in any way, including access to its methods and properties.
To prevent potential memory leaks, all object references will be nulled
at the end of destruction sequence, unless clearPropertiesOnDestroy
is set to false.
Do not create the substitution closure on every apply call
values : Object
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.
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.
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
this

html : String
compile : Boolean (optional)
True to compile the template.
this
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
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 : Ext.Class (optional)
The mixin class if the configs are from a mixin.
Add methods / properties to the prototype of this class.

meow: function() {
alert('Meowww...');
}

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'

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 '$$$$$$$'

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',

});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()

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
Gets an XTemplate from an object (an instance of an Ext#define'd class).
Many times, templates are configured high in the class hierarchy and are to be
shared by all classes that derive from that base. To further complicate matters,
these templates are seldom actual instances but are rather configurations. For
example:
Ext.define('MyApp.Class', {
extraCls: 'extra-class',
someTpl: [
'<div class="{%this.emitClass(out)%}"></div>',
{
// Member fn - outputs the owing class's extra CSS class
emitClass: function(out) {
out.push(this.owner.extraCls);
}
}]
});
The goal being to share that template definition with all instances and even
instances of derived classes, until someTpl is overridden. This method will
"upgrade" these configurations to be real XTemplate instances in place (to
avoid creating one instance per object).
The resulting XTemplate will have an owner reference injected which refers back
to the owning object whether that is an object which has an own instance, or a
class prototype. Through this link, XTemplate member functions will be able to access
prototype properties of its owning class.
instance : Object
The object from which to get the XTemplate (must be
an instance of an Ext#define'd class).
name : String
The name of the property by which to get the XTemplate.
The XTemplate instance or null if not found.
Used internally by the mixins pre-processor
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.
