Terms, Icons, and Labels

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.

Access Levels

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.

Member Types

Member Syntax

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).

lookupComponent ( item ) : Ext.Component
protected

Called when a raw config object is added to this container either during initialization of the items config, or when new items are added), or {@link #insert inserted.

This method converts the passed object into an instanced child component.

This may be overridden in subclasses when special processing needs to be applied to child creation.

Parameters

item :  Object

The config object being added.

Returns
Ext.Component

The component to be added.

Let's look at each part of the member row:

Member Flags

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.

Class Icons

- 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)

- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version

Member Icons

- Indicates a class member of type config

- Indicates a class member of type property

- Indicates a class member of type method

- Indicates a class member of type event

- Indicates a class member of type theme variable

- Indicates a class member of type theme mixin

- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version

Class Member Quick-Nav Menu

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.

Getter and Setter Methods

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.

History Bar

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.

Search and Filters

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.

API Doc Class Metadata

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:

Expanding and Collapsing Examples and Class Members

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.

Desktop -vs- Mobile View

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:

Viewing the Class Source

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.

Ext.util.Format singleton

Hierarchy

Ext.Base
Ext.util.Format

Summary

This class is a centralized place for formatting functions. It includes functions to format various different types of data, such as text, dates and numeric values.

Localization

This class contains several options for localization. These can be set once the library has loaded, all calls to the functions from that point will use the locale settings that were specified.

Options include:

  • thousandSeparator
  • decimalSeparator
  • currenyPrecision
  • currencySign
  • currencyAtEnd

This class also uses the default date format defined here: Ext.Date#defaultFormat.

Using with renderers

There are two helper functions that return a new function that can be used in conjunction with grid renderers:

columns: [{
    dataIndex: 'date',
    renderer: Ext.util.Format.dateRenderer('Y-m-d')
}, {
    dataIndex: 'time',
    renderer: Ext.util.Format.numberRenderer('0.000')
}]

Functions that only take a single argument can also be passed directly:

columns: [{
    dataIndex: 'cost',
    renderer: Ext.util.Format.usMoney
}, {
    dataIndex: 'productCode',
    renderer: Ext.util.Format.uppercase
}]

Using with XTemplates

XTemplates can also directly use Ext.util.Format functions:

new Ext.XTemplate([
    'Date: {startDate:date("Y-m-d")}',
    'Cost: {cost:usMoney}'
]);

properties

Instance Properties

$className
private pri

Defaults to:

'Ext.Base'

$configPrefixed : Boolean
private pri

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

$configStrict : Boolean
private pri

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

clearPropertiesOnDestroy : Boolean / "async"
protected pro

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

clearPrototypeOnDestroy : Boolean
private pri

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

currencyAtEnd : Boolean

This may be set to true to make the currency function append the currency sign to the formatted value.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

false

currencyPrecision : Number

The number of decimal places that the currency function displays.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

2

currencySign : String

The currency sign that the currency function displays.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

'$'

currencySpacer : String

True to add a space between the currency and the value

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

''

Available since: 6.2.0

decimalSeparator : String

The character that the number function uses as a decimal point.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

'.'

defaultDateFormat

The global default date format.

Defaults to:

'm/d/Y'

destroyed : Boolean
protected pro

This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.

Defaults to:

false

isConfiguring : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This property is set to true during the call to initConfig.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isFirstInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This property is set to true if this instance is the first of its class.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

This value is true and is used to identify plain objects from instances of a defined class.

Defaults to:

true

percentSign : String

The percent sign that the percent function displays.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

'%'

self : Ext.Class
protected pro

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

thousandSeparator : String

The character that the number function uses as a thousand separator.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

','

Static Properties

methods

Instance Methods

addDeprecations ( deprecations )
private pri

This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This is typically called by the deprecated config.

Parameters

deprecations :  Object

attributes ( attributes )

Formats an object of name value properties as HTML element attribute values suitable for using when creating textual markup.

Parameters

attributes :  Object

An object containing the HTML attributes as properties eg: {height:40, vAlign:'top'}

callOverridden ( args ) : Object
deprecated dep protected pro

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"

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

The arguments, either an array or the arguments object from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the overridden method

Deprecated since version 4.1.0
Use method-callParent instead.

callParent ( args ) : Object
protected pro

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.

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

The arguments, either an array or the arguments object from the current method, for example: this.callParent(arguments)

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the parent method

callSuper ( args ) : Object
protected pro

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".

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

The arguments, either an array or the arguments object from the current method, for example: this.callSuper(arguments)

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the superclass method

capitalize ( string ) : String

Parameters

string :  String

Returns

:String

currency ( value, [sign], [decimals], [end], [currencySpacer] ) : String

date ( value, [format] ) : String

Formats the passed date using the specified format pattern. Note that this uses the native Javascript Date.parse() method and is therefore subject to its idiosyncrasies. Most formats assume the local timezone unless specified. One notable exception is 'YYYY-MM-DD' (note the dashes) which is typically interpreted in UTC and can cause date shifting.

The value to insert of it's undefined.

Defaults to: ""

Returns

:String

destroy

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.

ellipsis ( value, length, [word] ) : String

Parameters

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

Returns

:Object

The config property value.

getInitialConfig ( [name] ) : Object/Mixed

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',

    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'.

Value to compare against

below :  Mixed

Value to return when value < threshold

above :  Mixed

Value to return when value > threshold. If value = threshold and equal is missing then above is returned.

equal :  Mixed

Value to return when value = threshold

Returns

:Mixed

lowercase ( value ) : String

Converts a string to all lower case letters.

Parameters

value :  String

The text to convert

Returns

:String

The converted text

math Function

It does simple math for use in a template, for example:

var tpl = new Ext.Template('{value} * 10 = {value:math("* 10")}');

Returns

:Function

A function that operates on the passed value.

nbsp ( value, [strict] ) : Mixed

Returns a non-breaking space ("NBSP") for any "blank" value.

Available since: 6.2.0

Pass false to convert all falsey values to an NBSP. By default, only '', null and undefined will be converted.

Defaults to: true

Returns

:Mixed

nl2br ( v ) : String

Converts newline characters to the HTML tag <br/>

Parameters

v :  String

The string value to format.

Returns

:String

The string with embedded <br/> tags in place of newlines.

number ( v, formatString ) : String

Formats the passed number according to the passed format string.

The number of digits after the decimal separator character specifies the number of decimal places in the resulting string. The local-specific decimal character is used in the result.

The presence of a thousand separator character in the format string specifies that the locale-specific thousand separator (if any) is inserted separating thousand groups.

By default, "," is expected as the thousand separator, and "." is expected as the decimal separator.

Locale-specific characters are always used in the formatted output when inserting thousand and decimal separators. These can be set using the thousandSeparator and decimalSeparator options.

The format string must specify separator characters according to US/UK conventions ("," as the thousand separator, and "." as the decimal separator)

To allow specification of format strings according to local conventions for separator characters, add the string /i to the end of the format string. This format depends on the thousandSeparator and decimalSeparator options. For example, if using European style separators, then the format string can be specified as '0.000,00'. This would be equivalent to using '0,000.00' when using US style formatting.

Examples (123456.789):

  • 0 - (123457) show only digits, no precision
  • 0.00 - (123456.79) show only digits, 2 precision
  • 0.0000 - (123456.7890) show only digits, 4 precision
  • 0,000 - (123,457) show comma and digits, no precision
  • 0,000.00 - (123,456.79) show comma and digits, 2 precision
  • 0,0.00 - (123,456.79) shortcut method, show comma and digits, 2 precision
  • 0.#### - (123,456.789) Allow maximum 4 decimal places, but do not right pad with zeroes
  • 0.00## - (123456.789) Show at least 2 decimal places, maximum 4, but do not right pad with zeroes

Parameters

v :  Number

The number to format.

formatString :  String

The way you would like to format this text.

Returns

:String

The formatted number.

numberRenderer ( format ) : Function

Returns a number rendering function that can be reused to apply a number format multiple times efficiently.

Parameters

format :  String

Any valid number format string for number

The number formatting function

or ( value, orValue )

Returns this result:

 value || orValue

The usefulness of this formatter method is in templates. For example:

 {foo:or("bar")}

Parameters

value :  Boolean

The "if" value.

orValue :  Mixed

parseBox ( box ) : Object

Parses a number or string representing margin sizes into an object. Supports CSS-style margin declarations (e.g. 10, "10", "10 10", "10 10 10" and "10 10 10 10" are all valid options and would return the same result).

Parameters

box :  Number/String

The encoded margins

Returns

:Object

An object with margin sizes for top, right, bottom and left

percent ( value, [formatString] ) : String

Formats the passed number as a percentage according to the passed format string. The number should be between 0 and 1 to represent 0% to 100%.

Parameters

value :  Number

The percentage to format.

formatString :  String (optional)

See number for details.

Defaults to: "0"

Returns

:String

The formatted percentage.

pick ( value, firstValue, secondValue )

If value is a number, returns the argument from that index. For example

 var s = Ext.util.Format.pick(2, 'zero', 'one', 'two');
 // s === 'two'

Otherwise, value is treated in a truthy/falsey manner like so:

 var s = Ext.util.Format.pick(null, 'first', 'second');
 // s === 'first'

 s = Ext.util.Format.pick({}, 'first', 'second');
 // s === 'second'

The usefulness of this formatter method is in templates. For example:

 {foo:pick("F","T")}

 {bar:pick("first","second","third")}

Parameters

value :  Boolean

The "if" value.

firstValue :  Mixed

secondValue :  Mixed

plural ( value, singular, [plural] ) : String

Selectively return the plural form of a word based on a numeric value.

For example, the following template would result in "1 Comment". If the value of count was 0 or greater than 1, the result would be "x Comments".

var tpl = new Ext.XTemplate('{count:plural("Comment")}');

tpl.apply({
    count: 1
}); // returns "1 Comment"

Examples using the static plural method call:

Ext.util.Format.plural(2, 'Comment');
// returns "2 Comments"

Ext.util.Format.plural(4, 'person', 'people');
// returns "4 people"

Parameters

value :  Number

The value to compare against

singular :  String

The singular form of the word

plural :  String (optional)

The plural form of the word (defaults to the singular form with an "s" appended)

Returns

:String

output The pluralized output of the passed singular form

Rounds the passed number to the required decimal precision.

Parameters

value :  Number/String

The numeric value to round.

precision :  Number (optional)

The number of decimal places to which to round the first parameter's value. If undefined the value is passed to Math.round otherwise the value is returned unmodified.

Returns

:Number

The rounded value.

setConfig ( name, [value] ) : Ext.Base
chainable ch

Sets a single/multiple configuration options.

Parameters

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.

Returns

:Ext.Base

this

sign ( value, negative, positive, zero ) : Mixed

Checks if value is a positive or negative number and returns the proper param.

The usefulness of this formatter method is in templates. For example:

 {foo:sign("clsNegative","clsPositive")}

Parameters

value :  Number

negative :  Mixed

positive :  Mixed

zero :  Mixed

Returns

:Mixed

statics Ext.Class
protected pro

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

toggle ( string, value, other ) : String

Alias for Ext.String#toggle. Utility function that allows you to easily switch a string between two alternating values. The passed value is compared to the current string, and if they are equal, the other value that was passed in is returned. If they are already different, the first value passed in is returned. Note that this method returns the new value but does not change the current string.

// alternate sort directions
sort = Ext.String.toggle(sort, 'ASC', 'DESC');

// instead of conditional logic:
sort = (sort === 'ASC' ? 'DESC' : 'ASC');

Parameters

string :  String

The current string.

value :  String

The value to compare to the current string.

other :  String

The new value to use if the string already equals the first value passed in.

Returns

:String

The new value.

override ( members ) : Ext.Base
chainable ch static sta

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).

Parameters

members :  Object

The properties to add to this class. This should be specified as an object literal containing one or more properties.

Returns

:Ext.Base

this class
