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

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.
Creates a Scatter Chart. The scatter plot is useful when trying to display more than two variables in the same visualization. These variables can be mapped into x, y coordinates and also to an element's radius/size, color, etc. As with all other series, the Scatter Series must be appended in the series Chart array configuration. See the Chart documentation for more information on creating charts. A typical configuration object for the scatter could be:
In this configuration we add three different categories of scatter series. Each of them is bound to a different field of the same data store,
data1, data2 and data3 respectively. All x-fields for the series must be the same field, in this case name.
Each scatter series has a different styling configuration for markers, specified by the marker object. Finally we set the left axis as
axis to show the current values of the elements.
Setting this config option adds or removes data bindings for other configs.
For example, to bind the title config:
var panel = Ext.create({
xtype: 'panel',
bind: {
title: 'Hello {user.name}'
}
});
To dynamically add bindings:
panel.setBind({
title: 'Greetings {user.name}!'
});
To remove bindings:
panel.setBind({
title: null
});
The bind expressions are presented to Ext.app.ViewModel#bind. The
ViewModel instance is determined by lookupViewModel.
Note: If bind is passed as a string, it will use the Ext.Component#property-defaultBindProperty for the binding.
Defaults to:
null
An array of color values which is used, in order of appearance, by the series. Each series can request one or more colors from the array. Radar, Scatter or Line charts require just one color each. Candlestick and OHLC require two (1 for drops + 1 for rises). Pie charts and Stacked charts (like Bar or Pie charts) require one color for each data category they represent, so one color for each slice of a Pie chart or each segment (not bar) of a Bar chart. It overrides the colors that are provided by the current theme.
Defaults to:
null
A string alias, a configuration object or an instance of a ViewController for
this container. Sample usage:
Ext.define('MyApp.UserController', {
alias: 'controller.user'
});
Ext.define('UserContainer', {
extend: 'Ext.container.container',
controller: 'user'
});
// Or
Ext.define('UserContainer', {
extend: 'Ext.container.container',
controller: {
type: 'user',
someConfig: true
}
});
// Can also instance at runtime
var ctrl = new MyApp.UserController();
var view = new UserContainer({
controller: ctrl
});
Defaults to:
null
Returns the Ext.app.ViewController instance associated with this component via the controller config or setController method.
Returns this component's ViewController or null if one was not configured
Sets the value of controller
controller : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewController
If true, this component will be the default scope (this pointer) for events
specified with string names so that the scope can be dynamically resolved. The
component will automatically become the defaultListenerScope if a
controller is specified.
See the introductory docs for Ext.container.Container for some sample usages.
NOTE: This value can only be reliably set at construction time. Setting it after that time may not correctly rewire all of the potentially effected listeners.
Defaults to:
false
Sets the value of defaultListenerScope
defaultListenerScope : Boolean
The sprite attributes that will be applied to the highlighted items in the series. If set to 'true', the default highlight style from highlightCfg will be used. If the value of this config is an object, it will be merged with the highlightCfg. In case merging of 'highlight' and 'highlightCfg' configs in not the desired behavior, provide the 'highlightCfg' instead.
Defaults to:
false
The default style for the highlighted item. Used when highlight config was simply set to 'true' instead of specifying a style.
Defaults to:
{
fillStyle: 'yellow',
strokeStyle: 'red'
}
The sprite template used to create sprite instances in the series.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of itemInstancing
itemInstancing : Object
Object with the following properties:
Defaults to:
{}
display : String
Specifies the presence and position of the labels. The possible values depend on the series type. For Line and Scatter series: 'under' | 'over' | 'rotate'. For Bar and 3D Bar series: 'insideStart' | 'insideEnd' | 'outside'. For Pie series: 'inside' | 'outside' | 'rotate' | 'horizontal' | 'vertical'. Area, Radar and Candlestick series don't support labels. For Area and Radar series please consider using tooltips instead. 3D Pie series currently always display labels 'outside'. For all series: 'none' hides the labels.
Default value: 'none'.
color : String
The color of the label text.
Default value: '#000' (black).
field : String/String[]
The name(s) of the field(s) to be displayed in the labels. If your chart has 3 series
that correspond to the fields 'a', 'b', and 'c' of your model, and you only want to
display labels for the series 'c', you must still provide an array [null, null, 'c'].
Default value: null.
font : String
The font used for the labels.
Default value: '14px Helvetica'.
orientation : String
Either 'horizontal' or 'vertical'. If not set (default), the orientation is inferred from the value of the flipXY property of the series.
Default value: ''.
renderer : Function
Optional function for formatting the label into a displayable value.
The arguments to the method are:
text, sprite, config, rendererData, index
Label's renderer is passed the same arguments as renderer plus one extra 'text' argument which comes first.
The attributes that have been changed or added, or the text for the label. Example to enclose every other label in parentheses:
renderer: function (text) {
if (index % 2 == 0) {
return '(' + text + ')'
}
}
Default value: null.
Extra distance value for which the labelOverflow listener is triggered.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of labelOverflowPadding
labelOverflowPadding : 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
The sprite template used by marker instances on the series.
If the value of the marker config is set to true or the type
of the sprite instance is not specified, the Ext.draw.sprite.Circle
sprite will be used.
Examples:
marker: true
marker: {
radius: 8
}
marker: {
type: 'arrow',
animation: {
duration: 200,
easing: 'backOut'
}
}
Defaults to:
null
This is cyclic used if series have multiple marker sprites.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of markerSubStyle
markerSubStyle : Object
Set to true for this component's name property to be tracked by its containing
nameHolder.
Defaults to:
false
The surface used to render series labels.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of overlaySurface
overlaySurface : Object
One or more names of config properties that this component should publish to its ViewModel. Generally speaking, only properties defined in a class config block (including ancestor config blocks and mixins) are eligible for publishing to the viewModel. Some components override this and publish their most useful configs by default.
Note: We'll discuss publishing properties not found in the config block below.
Values determined to be invalid by component (often form fields and model validations) will not be published to the ViewModel.
This config uses the cfg-reference to determine the name of the data
object to place in the ViewModel. If reference is not set then this config
is ignored.
By using this config and cfg-reference you can bind configs between
components. For example:
...
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield', // component's name in the ViewModel
publishes: 'value' // value is not published by default
},{
...
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
bind: 'You have entered "{somefield.value}"'
}]
...
Classes must provide this config as an Object:
Ext.define('App.foo.Bar', {
publishes: {
foo: true,
bar: true
}
});
This is required for the config system to properly merge values from derived classes.
For instances this value can be specified as a value as show above or an array or object as follows:
{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield',
publishes: [
'value',
'rawValue',
'dirty'
]
}
// This achieves the same result as the above array form.
{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield',
publishes: {
value: true,
rawValue: true,
dirty: true
}
}
In some cases, users may want to publish a property to the viewModel that is not found in a class config block. In these situations, you may utilize publishState if the property has a setter method. Let's use setFieldLabel as an example:
setFieldLabel: function(fieldLabel) {
this.callParent(arguments);
this.publishState('fieldLabel', fieldLabel);
}
With the above chunk of code, fieldLabel may now be published to the viewModel.
Defaults to:
null
Available since: 5.0.0
Specifies a name for this component inside its component hierarchy. This name must be unique within its view or its Ext.app.ViewController. See the documentation in Ext.container.Container for more information about references.
Note: Valid identifiers start with a letter or underscore and are followed by zero or more additional letters, underscores or digits. References are case sensitive.
Defaults to:
null
A function that can be provided to set custom styling properties to each
rendered element. It receives (sprite, config, rendererData, index)
as parameters.
Defaults to:
null
sprite : Object
The sprite affected by the renderer.
The visual attributes are in sprite.attr.
The data field is available in sprite.getField().
config : Object
The sprite configuration, which varies with the series
and the type of sprite. For instance, a Line chart sprite might have just the
x and y properties while a Bar chart sprite also has width and height.
A type might be present too. For instance to draw each marker and each segment
of a Line chart, the renderer is called with the config.type set to either
marker or line.
rendererData : Object
A record with different properties depending on
the type of chart. The only guaranteed property is rendererData.store, the
store used by the series. In some cases, a store may not exist: for instance
a Gauge chart may read its value directly from its configuration; in this case
rendererData.store is null and the value is available in rendererData.value.
index : Number
The index of the sprite. It is usually the index of the
store record associated with the sprite, in which case the record can be obtained
with store.getData().items[index]. If the chart is not associated with a store,
the index represents the index of the sprite within the series. For instance
a Gauge chart may have as many sprites as there are sectors in the background of
the gauge, plus one for the needle.
The attributes that have been changed or added.
Note: it is usually possible to add or modify the attributes directly into the
config parameter and not return anything, but returning an object with only
those attributes that have been changed may allow for optimizations in the
rendering of some series. Example to draw every other marker in red:
renderer: function (sprite, config, rendererData, index) {
if (config.type === 'marker') {
return { strokeStyle: (index % 2 === 0 ? 'red' : 'black') };
}
}
If provided this creates a new Session instance for this component. If this
is a Container, this will then be inherited by all child components.
To create a new session you can specify true:
Ext.create({
xtype: 'viewport',
session: true,
items: [{
...
}]
});
Alternatively, a config object can be provided:
Ext.create({
xtype: 'viewport',
session: {
...
},
items: [{
...
}]
});
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of session
session : Boolean / Object / Ext.data.Session
Whether markers should be displayed at the data points along the line. If true, then the marker config item will determine the markers' styling.
Defaults to:
true
The store to use for this series. If not specified, the series will use the chart's store.
Defaults to:
null
Custom style configuration for the sprite used in the series. It overrides the style that is provided by the current theme.
Defaults to:
{}
Style configuration that is provided by the current theme. It is composed of five objects:
Defaults to:
{}
style : Object
Properties common to all the series, for instance the 'lineWidth'.
subStyle : Object
Cyclic used if the series has multiple sprites.
label : Object
Sprite config for the labels, for instance the font and color.
marker : Object
Sprite config for the markers, for instance the size and stroke color.
markerSubStyle : Object
Cyclic used if series have multiple marker sprites.
The human-readable name of the series (displayed in the legend). If the series is stacked (has multiple components in it) this should be an array, where each string corresponds to a stacked component.
Defaults to:
null
Add tooltips to the visualization's markers. The config options for the
tooltip are the same configuration used with Ext.tip.ToolTip plus a
renderer config option and a scope for the renderer. For example:
tooltip: {
trackMouse: true,
width: 140,
height: 28,
renderer: function (toolTip, record, ctx) {
toolTip.setHtml(record.get('name') + ': ' + record.get('data1') + ' views');
}
}
Note that tooltips are shown for series markers and won't work if the marker is not configured.
Defaults to:
null
scope : Object
The scope to use when the renderer function is called. Defaults to the Series instance.
renderer : Function
An 'interceptor' method which can be used to modify the tooltip attributes before it is shown. The renderer function is passed the following params:
toolTip : Ext.tip.ToolTip
The tooltip instance
record : Ext.data.Model
The record instance for the chart item (sprite) currently targeted by the tooltip.
ctx : Object
A data object with values relating to the currently targeted chart sprite
category : String
The type of sprite passed to the renderer function (will be "items", "markers", or "labels" depending on the target sprite of the tooltip)
field : String
The yField for the series
index : Number
The target sprite's index within the series' items
record : Ext.data.Model
The record instance for the chart item (sprite) currently targeted by the tooltip.
series : Ext.chart.series.Series
The series instance containing the tooltip's target sprite
sprite : Ext.draw.sprite.Sprite
The sprite (item) target of the tooltip
Trigger drawlistener flag
Defaults to:
false
Sets the value of triggerAfterDraw
triggerAfterDraw : Object
This object holds a map of config properties that will update their binding
as they are modified. For example, value is a key added by form fields. The
form of this config is the same as publishes.
This config is defined so that updaters are not created and added for all bound properties since most cannot be modified by the end-user and hence are not appropriate for two-way binding.
Defaults to:
null
Colors for the series can be set directly through the 'colors' config, or indirectly with the current theme or the 'colors' config that is set onto the chart. These colors are used as "fill color". Set this config to true, if you want a darker color for the strokes. Set it to false if you want to use the same color as the fill color. Alternatively, you can set it to a number between 0 and 1 to control how much darker the strokes should be. Note: this should be initial config and cannot be changed later on.
Defaults to:
true
The ViewModel is a data provider for this component and its children. The
data contained in the ViewModel is typically used by adding bind configs
to the components that want present or edit this data.
When set, the ViewModel is created and links to any inherited viewModel
instance from an ancestor container as the "parent". The ViewModel hierarchy,
once established, only supports creation or destruction of children. The
parent of a ViewModel cannot be changed on the fly.
If this is a root-level ViewModel, the data model connection is made to this
component's associated Ext.data.Session. This is
determined by calling getInheritedSession.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of viewModel
viewModel : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewModel
xAxis The chart axis the series is bound to in the 'X' direction. Normally, this would be set automatically by the series. For charts with multiple x-axes, this defines which x-axis is used by the series. It refers to either axis' ID or the (zero-based) index of the axis in the chart's axes config.
Defaults to:
null
The field used to access the x axis value from the items from the data source.
Defaults to:
null
yAxis The chart axis the series is bound to in the 'Y' direction. Normally, this would be set automatically by the series. For charts with multiple y-axes, this defines which y-axis is used by the series. It refers to either axis' ID or the (zero-based) index of the axis in the chart's axes config.
Defaults to:
null
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
}
We don't want the base destructor to clear the prototype because our destroyObservable handler must be called the very last. It will take care of the prototype after completing Observable destruction sequence.
Defaults to:
true
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
The range of "coordinated" data.
Typically, for two directions ('X' and 'Y') the dataRange would look like this:
dataRange[0] - minX
dataRange[1] - minY
dataRange[2] - maxX
dataRange[3] - maxY
And the series' coordinate method would be called like this:
coordinate('X', 0, 2)
coordinate('Y', 1, 2)
For numbers coordinated data are numbers themselves. For categories - their indexes. For Date objects - their timestamps. In other words, whatever source data we have, it has to be converted to numbers before it can be plotted.
Defaults to:
null
This property is used to determine the property of a bind config that is just
the value. For example, if defaultBindProperty="value", then this shorthand
bind config:
bind: '{name}'
Is equivalent to this object form:
bind: {
value: '{name}'
}
The defaultBindProperty is set to "value" for form fields and to "store" for
grids and trees.
Defaults to:
null
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
Tells which store record fields should be used for a specific axis direction. E.g. for
fieldCategory<direction>: ['<fieldConfig1>', '<fieldConfig2>', ...]
the field names from the following configs will be used:
series.<fieldConfig1>Field, series.<fieldConfig2>Field, ...
See Ext.chart.series.StackedCartesian#getFields.
Defaults to:
[
'X'
]
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
Series, where the number of sprites (an so unique colors they require) depends on the number of records in the store should set this to 'true'.
Defaults to:
false
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
Regular expression used for validating reference values.
Defaults to:
/^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i
Adds declarative listeners as nested arrays of listener objects.
listeners : Array
true if any listeners were added
Ensures that the given property (if it is a Config System config) has a proper "updater" method on this instance to sync changes to the config.
Available since: 5.0.0
property : String
The name of the config property.
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 set of arguments to pass to the handler function before the actual
fired event arguments. For example, if args is set to ['foo', 42],
the event handler function will be called with an arguments list like this:
handler('foo', 42, <actual event 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.
Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener.
myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers and handler configs.
grid.on({
itemclick: 'onItemClick',
itemcontextmenu: grid.onItemContextmenu,
destroy: {
fn: function () {
// function called within the 'altCmp' scope instead of grid
},
scope: altCmp // unique scope for the destroy handler
},
scope: grid // default scope - provided for example clarity
});
Delegate
This is a configuration option that you can pass along when registering a handler for an event to assist with event delegation. By setting this configuration option to a simple selector, the target element will be filtered to look for a descendant of the target. For example:
var panel = Ext.create({
xtype: 'panel',
renderTo: document.body,
title: 'Delegate Handler Example',
frame: true,
height: 220,
width: 220,
html: '<h1 class="myTitle">BODY TITLE</h1>Body content'
});
// The click handler will only be called when the click occurs on the
// delegate: h1.myTitle ("h1" tag with class "myTitle")
panel.on({
click: function (e) {
console.log(e.getTarget().innerHTML);
},
element: 'body',
delegate: 'h1.myTitle'
});
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 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
direction : 'X'/'Y'
directionOffset : Object
directionCount : Object
This method will return an array containing data coordinated by a specific axis.
items : Array
Store records.
field : String
The field to fetch from each record.
axis : Ext.chart.axis.Axis
The axis used to lay out the data.
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 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.
Destroys member properties by name.
If a property name is the name of a config, the getter is not invoked, so if the config has not been initialized, nothing will be done.
The property will be destroyed, and the corrected name (if the property is a config
and config names are prefixed) will set to null in this object's dictionary.
args : String...
One or more names of the properties to destroy and remove from the object.
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.
Given the list of axes in a certain direction and a list of series fields in that direction returns the first matching axis for the series in that direction, or undefined if a match wasn't found.
directionAxes : Object
directionFields : Object
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 fireEventedAction 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
ifInitialized : Boolean (optional)
true to only return the initialized property value,
not the raw config value, and not to trigger initialization. Returns undefined if the
property has not yet been initialized.
Defaults to: false
The config property value.
Each series has configs that tell which store record fields to use as data
for a certain dimension. For example, xField, yField for most cartesian series,
angleField, radiusField for polar series, openField, ..., closeField
for CandleStick series, etc. The field category is an array of capitalized config
names, minus the 'Field' part, to use as data for a certain dimension.
For example, for CandleStick series we have:
fieldCategoryY: ['Open', 'High', 'Low', 'Close']
While for generic Cartesian series it is simply:
fieldCategoryY: ['Y']
This method fetches the values of those configs, i.e. the actual record fields to use.
The coordinate method in turn will use the values from the fieldCategory
array to set data attributes of the series sprite. E.g., in case of CandleStick series,
the following attributes will be set based on the values in the fieldCategoryY array:
`dataOpen`, `dataHigh`, `dataLow`, `dataClose`
Where the value of each attribute is a coordinated array of data from the corresponding field.
fieldCategory : String[]
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.
Returns a series item by index and (optional) category.
index : Number
The index of the item (matches store record index).
category : String (optional)
The category of item, e.g.: 'items', 'markers', 'sprites'.
item
For a given x/y point relative to the main rect, find a corresponding item from this series, if any.
x : Number
y : Number
target : Object (optional)
optional target to receive the result
An object describing the item, or null if there is no matching item. The exact contents of this object will vary by series type, but should always contain at least the following:
record : Ext.data.Model
the record of the item.
point : Array
the x/y coordinates relative to the chart box of a single point for this data item, which can be used as e.g. a tooltip anchor point.
sprite : Ext.draw.sprite.Sprite
the item's rendering Sprite.
subSprite : Number
the index if sprite is an instancing sprite.
Returns the first sprite. Convenience method for series that have a single markerholder sprite.
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
This method triggers the lazy configs and must be called when it is time to
fully boot up. The configs that must be initialized are: bind, publishes,
session, twoWayBindable and viewModel.

Adds a "destroyable" object to an internal list of objects that will be destroyed
when this instance is destroyed (via destroy).
name : String
value : Object

Gets the controller that controls this view. May be a controller that belongs to a view higher in the hierarchy.
Available since: 5.0.1
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
true to not consider the controller directly attached
to this view (if it exists).
Defaults to: false
The controller. null if no controller is found.
Returns the Ext.data.Session for this instance. This property may come
from this instance's session or be inherited from this object's parent.
Available since: 5.0.0
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to ignore a session configured on
this instance and only consider an inherited session.
Defaults to: false
Returns the Ext.app.ViewModel for this instance. This property may come from this
this instance's viewModel or be inherited from this object's parent.
Available since: 5.0.0
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to ignore a viewModel configured on
this instance and only consider an inherited view model.
Defaults to: false
Returns an update method for the given Config that will call publishState
to ensure two-way bindings (via bind) as well as any publishes are updated.
This method is cached on the cfg instance for re-use.
Available since: 5.0.0
cfg : Ext.Config
The updater function.
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 set of arguments to pass to the handler function before the actual
fired event arguments. For example, if args is set to ['foo', 42],
the event handler function will be called with an arguments list like this:
handler('foo', 42, <actual event 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.
Combining Options
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener.
myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers and handler configs.
grid.on({
itemclick: 'onItemClick',
itemcontextmenu: grid.onItemContextmenu,
destroy: {
fn: function () {
// function called within the 'altCmp' scope instead of grid
},
scope: altCmp // unique scope for the destroy handler
},
scope: grid // default scope - provided for example clarity
});
Delegate
This is a configuration option that you can pass along when registering a handler for an event to assist with event delegation. By setting this configuration option to a simple selector, the target element will be filtered to look for a descendant of the target. For example:
var panel = Ext.create({
xtype: 'panel',
renderTo: document.body,
title: 'Delegate Handler Example',
frame: true,
height: 220,
width: 220,
html: '<h1 class="myTitle">BODY TITLE</h1>Body content'
});
// The click handler will only be called when the click occurs on the
// delegate: h1.myTitle ("h1" tag with class "myTitle")
panel.on({
click: function (e) {
console.log(e.getTarget().innerHTML);
},
element: 'body',
delegate: 'h1.myTitle'
});
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.
Data processing overview.
The data is processed in the following order:
1) chart.processData() - calls processData of all series
2) series.processData() - calls processData of all bound axes,
or jumps to (5) directly, if the series has no axis
in this direction
3) axis.processData() - calls the processData of its own layout
4) axisLayout.processData() - calls coordinateX/Y of all bound series
5) series.coordinateX/Y - calls its own coordinate method in that direction
6) series.coordinate - calls its own coordinateData method using the right
record fields and axes
7) series.coordinateData - calls getCoordFor of the axis layout for the given
field
8) layout.getCoordFor - returns a numeric value for the given field value,
whatever its type may be
The dataX, dataY attributes of the series' sprites are set by the
series.coordinate method using the data returned by the coordinateData.
series.coordinate also calculates the range of said data (via expandRange)
and sets the dataMinX/Y, dataMaxX/Y attributes of the series' sprites.
Publish this components state to the ViewModel. If no arguments are given (or if
this is the first call), the entire state is published. This state is determined by
the publishes property.
This method is called only by component authors.
Available since: 5.0.0
property : String (optional)
The name of the property to update.
value : Object (optional)
The value of property. Only needed if property is given.
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)
The scope originally specified for the handler. It must be the same as the scope argument specified in the original call to Ext.util.Observable#addListener or the listener will not be removed.
Convenience Syntax
You can use the addListener
destroyable: true config option in place of calling un(). For example:
var listeners = cmp.on({
scope: cmp,
afterrender: cmp.onAfterrender,
beforehide: cmp.onBeforeHide,
destroyable: true
});
// Remove listeners
listeners.destroy();
// or
cmp.un(
scope: cmp,
afterrender: cmp.onAfterrender,
beforehide: cmp.onBeforeHide
);
Exception - DOM event handlers using the element config option
You must go directly through the element to detach an event handler attached using the addListener element option.
panel.on({
element: 'body',
click: 'onBodyCLick'
});
panel.body.un({
click: 'onBodyCLick'
});
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

Gets the default scope for firing late bound events (string names with no scope attached) at runtime.
defaultScope : Object (optional)
The default scope to return if none is found.
Defaults to: this
The default event scope
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.
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
Suspends firing of the named event(s).
After calling this method to suspend events, the events will no longer fire when requested to fire.
Note that if this is called multiple times for a certain event, the converse method resumeEvent will have to be called the same number of times for it to resume firing.
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.
Returns the number of colors this series needs. A Pie chart needs one color per slice while a Stacked Bar chart needs one per segment. An OHLC chart needs 2 colors (one for drops, one for rises), and most other charts need just a single color.
Returns the number of markers this series needs. Currently, only the Line, Scatter and Radar series use markers - and they need just one each.
Shorthand for removeListener. Removes an event handler.
eventName : String
The type of event the handler was associated with.

scope : Object (optional)
The scope originally specified for the handler. It must be the same as the scope argument specified in the original call to Ext.util.Observable#addListener or the listener will not be removed.
Convenience Syntax
You can use the addListener
destroyable: true config option in place of calling un(). For example:
var listeners = cmp.on({
scope: cmp,

beforehide: cmp.onBeforeHide,
destroyable: true
});
// Remove listeners
listeners.destroy();
// or
cmp.un(
scope: cmp,
afterrender: cmp.onAfterrender,
beforehide: cmp.onBeforeHide
);

this
When the chart's "colors" config changes, these colors are passed onto the series where they are used with the same priority as theme colors, i.e. they do not override the series' "colors" config, nor the series' "style" config, but they do override the colors from the theme's "seriesThemes" config.

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

method2: function() { ... } // My.cool.Class.method2 = function() { ... };
});
members : Object
this
Borrow another class' members to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('Bank', {

printMoney: function() {
alert('$$$$$$$');
}
});
Ext.define('Thief', {

method2: function() { ... }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()

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).
