Ext.Container xtype: container

activeChildTabIndex : Number

DOM tabIndex attribute to set on the active Focusable child of this container when using the "Roaming tabindex" technique.

Defaults to:

0

allowFocusingDisabledChildren : Boolean

Set this to true to enable focusing disabled child items via keyboard.

Defaults to:

false

alwaysOnTop : Boolean / Number

bindable bind

A flag indicating that this component should be above its floated siblings.

This may be a positive number to prioritize the ordering of multiple visible always on top components.

This may be set to a negative number to prioritize a component to the bottom of the z-index stack.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.2.0

ariaAttributes : Object

bindable bind

An object containing ARIA attributes to be set on this Component's ARIA element. Use this to set the attributes that cannot be determined by the Component's state, such as aria-live, aria-flowto, etc.

Note that this config is only meaningful at the Component rendering time, and setting it after that will do nothing.

Defaults to:

null

ariaDescribedBy : String

DOM selector for a child element that is to be used as description for this Component, set in aria-describedby attribute. The selector works the same way as ariaLabelledBy.

ariaLabel : String

ARIA label for this Component. It is best to use ariaLabelledBy option instead, because screen readers prefer aria-labelledby attribute to aria-label. ariaLabel and ariaLabelledBy config options are mutually exclusive.

ariaLabelledBy : String

DOM selector for a child element that is to be used as label for this Component, set in aria-labelledby attribute. If the selector is by id, the label element can be any existing element, not necessarily a child of the main Component element.

ariaLabelledBy and ariaLabel config options are mutually exclusive, and ariaLabelledBy has the higher precedence.

axisLock : Boolean

bindable bind

If true, then, when showBy or alignTo fallback on constraint violation only takes place along the major align axis.

That is, if alignment "l-r" is being used, and axisLock: true is used, then if constraints fail, only fallback to "r-l" is considered.

Defaults to:

null

bind : Object / String

bindable bind

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

border : Boolean

bindable bind

Enables or disables bordering on this component. The following values are accepted:

• null or `true (default): Do nothing and allow the border to be specified by the theme.
• false: suppress the default border provided by the theme.

Please note that enabling bordering via this config will not add a border-color or border-style CSS property to the component; you provide the border-color and border-style via CSS rule or style configuration (if not already provide by the theme).

Using style:

Ext.Viewport.add({
    centered: true,
    width: 100,
    height: 100,

    style: 'border: 1px solid blue;'
    // ...
});

Using CSS:

Ext.Viewport.add({
    centered: true,
    width: 100,
    height: 100,

    cls: 'my-component'
    // ...
});

And your CSS file:

.my-component {
    border: 1px solid red;
}

Defaults to:

null

bottom : Number / String

bindable bind

The absolute bottom position of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. Explicitly setting this value will make this Component become 'positioned', which means it will no longer participate in the layout of the Container that it resides in.

Defaults to:

null

centered : Boolean

bindable bind

Configure this as true to have this Component centered within its Container. Setting this value to true will make this Component become 'positioned', which means it will no longer participate in the layout of the Container that it resides in.

Defaults to:

false

cls : String / String[]

bindable bind

The CSS class to add to this widget's element, in addition to the baseCls. In many cases, this property will be specified by the derived widget class. See userCls for adding additional CSS classes to widget instances (such as items in a Ext.Container).

Defaults to:

null

constrainAlign : String / Ext.util.Region / Ext.dom.Element

bindable bind

A specification of the constraint to apply when showBy or alignTo is called to align a floated or positioned component.

Defaults to the parent container for positioned components (components which have their top, right, bottom or left set to move them out of their container's layout flow).

Defaults to the viewport for floated components.

May be a Ext.ComponentQuery selector to find an ancestor component to constrain within.

May be false to specify that constraining is not applied.

You may also specify an element, or a Ext.util.Region

Defaults to:

null

contentEl : Ext.dom.Element / HTMLElement / String

bindable bind

The configured element will automatically be added as the content of this component. When you pass a string, we expect it to be an element id. If the content element is hidden, we will automatically show it.

Defaults to:

null

controller : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewController

bindable bind

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

data : Object

bindable bind

The initial set of data to apply to the tpl to update the content area of the Component.

Note: Data will be appended to any existing data.

Defaults to:

null

defaultListenerScope : Boolean

bindable bind

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

disabled : Boolean

bindable bind

Whether or not this component is disabled

Defaults to:

null

displayed : Boolean

bindable bind

Set to true to call show and false to call hide. Unlike the hidden config, changing this config will potentially involve animations to show or hide the component.

Defaults to:

null

Available since: 6.5.0

docked : String

bindable bind

The dock position of this component in its container. Can be left, top, right or bottom.

Notes

You must use a HTML5 doctype for docked bottom to work. To do this, simply add the following code to the HTML file:

<!doctype html>

So your index.html file should look a little like this:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>MY application title</title>
        ...

Defaults to:

null

draggable : Boolean / Object / Ext.drag.Source

bindable bind

Set to true to allow this component to be dragged. This can also be the config object for the Ext.drag.Source that will manage the drag.

Defaults to:

null

flex : Number / String / Object

bindable bind

The flex of this item if this item item is inside a Ext.layout.HBox or Ext.layout.VBox layout.

You can also update the flex of a component dynamically using the Ext.layout.FlexBox#setItemFlex method.

When supplied as a string or number this option supports the same syntax as CSS flex. For example:

flex: '1 2 auto'

sets flex-grow property to 0, flex-shrink to 2 and flex-basis to 'auto'.

The default flex-shrink value for box layout items is set to 0 in the stylesheet, which is different from the browser's default flex-shrink value of 1. This accommodates the majority use case for applications since where non-flexed components are typically not expected to shrink smaller than their default size.

For convenience when only a single number is supplied it is used as the value for both flex-grow and flex-shrink, for example flex: 3 is the same as flex: '3 3'

An object form is also accepted:

flex: {
    grow: 1,
    shrink: 2,
    basis: 'auto'
}

When the object form is supplied shrink always defaults to 0 regardless of the value of grow.

Although 'auto' is the default value for flex-basis, flex-basis defaults to 0% when flex is supplied as a single numeric or string value (e.g. flex: 1). If this behavior is not desired either explicitly set flex-basis to 'auto' or use the object form to set only grow and/or shrink:

flex: {
    grow: 2
}

Defaults to:

null

floated : Boolean

bindable bind

A Component may be floated above all other components in the application. This means that the component is absolutely positioned, and will move to the front and occlude other sibling floated component if clicked.

A Floated component may have floated descendants. It will bring these decendants to the front with it when brought to the front of its sibling floated components.

By default, descendant floated components are all positioned using the viewport coordinate system. To make a floating component a positioning parent for descendants, and have the ancestors positioned relatively, configure the parent floated component with cfg-relative: true.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.2.0

focusableContainer : Boolean

Enable or disable navigation with arrow keys for this FocusableContainer. This option may be useful with nested FocusableContainers, when only the root container should handle keyboard events.

Defaults to:

false

focusCls : String

CSS class that will be added to focused component's focusClsEl, and removed when component blurs.

Defaults to:

'x-focused'

fullscreen : Boolean

Force the component to take up 100% width and height available, by adding it to Ext.Viewport.

height : Number / String

bindable bind

The height of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. By default, if this is not explicitly set, this Component's element will simply have its own natural size. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.

Defaults to:

null

hidden : Boolean

bindable bind

Whether or not this Component is hidden (its CSS display property is set to none).

Defaults to true for floated Components.

Defaults to:

null

hideAnimation : String / Mixed

bindable bind

Animation effect to apply when the Component is being hidden. Typically you want to use an outbound animation type such as 'fadeOut' or 'slideOut'. For more animations, check the Ext.fx.Animation#type config.

Defaults to:

null

hideMode : 'clip' / 'display' / 'offsets' / 'opacity' / 'visibility'

bindable bind

A String which specifies how this component's DOM element will be hidden. The accepted values are any of these:

• 'clip' : Hide using clip.
• 'display' : Hide using display.
• 'offsets' : Hide using positioning offsets.
• 'opacity' : Hide using opacity.
• 'visibility' : Hide using visibility.

Hiding using display results in having no dimensions as well as resetting scroll positions to 0.

The other modes overcome this but may have different trade-offs in certain circumstances.

Defaults to:

'display'

Available since: 6.5.0

hideOnMaskTap : Boolean

bindable bind

When using a modal Component, setting this to true will hide the modal mask and the Container when the mask is tapped on.

Defaults to:

null

html : String / Ext.dom.Element / HTMLElement

bindable bind

Optional HTML content to render inside this Component, or a reference to an existing element on the page.

Defaults to:

null

id : String

The unique id of this component instance.

It should not be necessary to use this configuration except for singleton objects in your application. Components created with an id may be accessed globally using Ext.getCmp.

Instead of using assigned ids, use the itemId config, and Ext.ComponentQuery which provides selector-based searching for Sencha Components analogous to DOM querying. The Ext.Container class contains shortcut methods to query its descendant Components by selector.

Note that this id will also be used as the element id for the containing HTML element that is rendered to the page for this component. This allows you to write id-based CSS rules to style the specific instance of this component uniquely, and also to select sub-elements using this component's id as the parent.

Note: to avoid complications imposed by a unique id also see itemId.

Defaults to an auto-assigned id.

inactiveChildTabIndex : Number

DOM tabIndex attribute to set on inactive Focusable children of this container when using the "Roaming tabindex" technique. This value rarely needs to be changed from its default.

Defaults to:

-1

itemId : String

bindable bind

An itemId can be used as an alternative way to get a reference to a component when no object reference is available. Instead of using an id with Ext#getCmp, use itemId with Ext.Container#getComponent which will retrieve itemId's or id's. Since itemId's are an index to the container's internal MixedCollection, the itemId is scoped locally to the container - avoiding potential conflicts with Ext.ComponentManager which requires a unique id.

Also see id, Ext.Container#query, Ext.Container#down and Ext.Container#child.

Defaults to:

undefined

keyMap : Object

bindable bind

An object containing handlers for keyboard events. The property names of this object are the key name and any modifiers. The values of the properties are the descriptors of how to handle each event.

The handler descriptor can be simply the handler function (either the literal function or the method name), or it can be an object with these properties:

• handler: The function or its name to call to handle the event.
• scope: The this pointer context (can be "this" or "controller").
• event: An optional override of the key event to which to listen.

Important: Calls to setKeyMap do not replace the entire keyMap but instead update the provided mappings. That is, unless null is passed as the value of the keyMap which will clear the keyMap of all entries.

Defaults to:

null

Properties

scope : String

The default scope to apply to key handlers which do not specify a scope. This is processed the same way as the scope of cfg-listeners. It defaults to the "controller", but using 'this' means that an instance method will be used.

keyMapEnabled : Boolean

bindable bind

Enables or disables processing keys in the keyMap. This value starts as null and if it is null when initKeyMap is called, it will automatically be set to true. Since initKeyMap is called by Ext.Component at the proper time, this is not something application code normally handles.

Defaults to:

null

left : Number / String

bindable bind

The absolute left position of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. Explicitly setting this value will make this Component become 'positioned', which means it will no longer participate in the layout of the Container that it resides in.

Defaults to:

null

listeners : Object

bindable bind

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 DataView'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'); }
        }
    }
});

margin : Number / String

bindable bind

The margin to use on this Component. Can be specified as a number (in which case all edges get the same margin) or a CSS string like '5 10 10 10'

Defaults to:

null

maxHeight : Number / String

bindable bind

The maximum height of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size. Note that this config will not apply if the Component is 'positioned' (absolutely positioned or centered)

Defaults to:

null

maxWidth : Number / String

bindable bind

The maximum width of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size. Note that this config will not apply if the Component is 'positioned' (absolutely positioned or centered)

Defaults to:

null

minHeight : Number / String

bindable bind

The minimum height of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.

Defaults to:

null

minWidth : Number / String

bindable bind

The minimum width of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.

Defaults to:

null

modal : Boolean

bindable bind

true to make this Component modal. This will create a mask underneath the Component that covers its parent and does not allow the user to interact with any other Components until this Component is dismissed.

Defaults to:

null

modelValidation : Boolean

This config enables binding to your Ext.data.Model#validators. This is only processed by form fields (e.g., Ext.field.*) at present, however, this setting is inherited and so can be set on a parent container.

When set to true by a component (or by an ancestor container), the validators of for any {@Ext.data.Model record} fields will be used wherever the value is bound to such data fields.

While this config can be set arbitrarily high in the component hierarchy, doing so can create a lot overhead if most of your form fields do not actually rely on validators in your data model.

Using this setting for a form that is bound to an Ext.data.Model might look like this:

 {
     xtype: 'panel',
     modelValidation: true,
     items: [{
         xtype: 'textfield',
         bind: '{theUser.firstName}'
     },{
         xtype: 'textfield',
         bind: '{theUser.lastName}'
     },{
         xtype: 'textfield',
         bind: '{theUser.phoneNumber}'
     },{
         xtype: 'textfield',
         bind: '{theUser.email}'
     }]
 }

Defaults to:

null

Available since: 6.5.0

name : String

Name for the widget to be used with Ext.Container#lookupName et al.

Defaults to:

null

nameable : Boolean

Set to true for this component's name property to be tracked by its containing nameHolder.

Defaults to:

false

nameHolder : Boolean

When true child components are tracked by their name property and can be retrieved using the lookupName method.

Defaults to:

false

padding : Number / String

bindable bind

The padding to use on this Component. Can be specified as a number (in which case all edges get the same padding) or a CSS string like '5 10 10 10'

Defaults to:

null

plugins : Array / Ext.enums.Plugin / Object / Ext.plugin.Abstract

bindable bind

This config describes one or more plugin config objects used to create plugin instances for this component.

Plugins are a way to bundle and reuse custom functionality. Plugins should extend Ext.plugin.Abstract but technically the only requirement for a valid plugin is that it contain an init method that accepts a reference to its owner. Once a plugin is created, the owner will call the init method, passing a reference to itself. Each plugin can then call methods or respond to events on its owner as needed to provide its functionality.

This config's value can take several different forms.

The value can be a single string with the plugin's Ext.enums.Plugin:

 var list = Ext.create({
     xtype: 'list',
     itemTpl: '<div class="item">{title}</div>',
     store: 'Items',

     plugins: 'listpaging'
 });

In the above examples, the string "listpaging" is the type alias for Ext.dataview.plugin.ListPaging. The full alias includes the "plugin." prefix (i.e., 'plugin.listpaging').

The preferred form for multiple plugins or to configure plugins is the keyed-object form (new in version 6.5):

 var list = Ext.create({
     xtype: 'list',
     itemTpl: '<div class="item">{title}</div>',
     store: 'Items',

     plugins: {
         pullrefresh: true,
         listpaging: {
             autoPaging: true,
             weight: 10
         }
     }
 });

The object keys are the id's as well as the default type alias. This form allows the value of the plugins to be merged from base class to derived class and finally with the instance configuration. This allows classes to define a set of plugins that derived classes or instantiators can further configure or disable. This merge behavior is a feature of the config.

The plugins config can also be an array of plugin aliases (arrays are not merged so this form does not respect plugins defined by the class author):

 var list = Ext.create({
     xtype: 'list',
     itemTpl: '<div class="item">{title}</div>',
     store: 'Items',

     plugins: ['listpaging', 'pullrefresh']
 });

An array can also contain elements that are config objects with a type property holding the type alias:

 var list = Ext.create({
     xtype: 'list',
     itemTpl: '<div class="item">{title}</div>',
     store: 'Items',

     plugins: ['pullrefresh', {
         type: 'listpaging',
         autoPaging: true
     }]
 });

Defaults to:

null

publishes : String / String[] / Object

bindable bind

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

record : Ext.data.Model

bindable bind

A model instance which updates the Component's html based on it's tpl. Similar to the data configuration, but tied to to a record to make allow dynamic updates. This must be a model instance and not a configuration of one.

Defaults to:

null

reference : String

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

referenceHolder : Boolean

If true, this container will be marked as being a point in the hierarchy where references to items with a specified reference config will be held. The container will automatically become a referenceHolder if a controller is specified.

See the introductory docs for Ext.container.Container for more information about references & reference holders.

Defaults to:

false

relative : Boolean

bindable bind

Only valid when a component is cfg-floated

Configure this as true if you require descendant floated components to be positioned relative to this component's coordinate space, not the viewport's coordinate space.

Note: The coordinate space is this Component's encapsulating element's area. Not that of the inner element in which static child items are rendered by the layout.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.2.0

renderTo : Ext.dom.Element

bindable bind

Optional element to render this Component to. Not required if this component is an item of a Container of a Container.

Defaults to:

null

resetFocusPosition : Boolean

When true, FocusableContainer will reset last focused position whenever focus leaves the container. Subsequent tabbing into the container will always focus the first eligible child item.

When false, subsequent tabbing into the container will focus the child item that was last focused before.

Defaults to:

false

right : Number / String

bindable bind

The absolute right position of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. Explicitly setting this value will make this Component become 'positioned', which means it will no longer participate in the layout of the Container that it resides in.

Defaults to:

null

ripple : Boolean / Object / String

bindable bind

Set to truthy, Color or Object value for the ripple.

Defaults to:

null

Available since: 6.5.0

Properties

color : String

The background color of the ripple.

position : Array

Position for the ripple to start at [x,y]. Determines if a Ripple effect should happen whenever this element is pressed.

For example: { ripple: true }

Or:

 {
     ripple: {
         color: 'red'
     }
 }

For complex components, individual elements can suppress ripples by adding the x-no-ripple class to disable rippling for a tree of elements.

scrollable : Boolean / String / Object

bindable bind

Configuration options to make this Component scrollable. Acceptable values are:

• true to enable auto scrolling.
• false (or null) to disable scrolling - this is the default.
• x or horizontal to enable horizontal scrolling only
• y or vertical to enable vertical scrolling only

Also accepts a configuration object for a Ext.scroll.Scroller if if advanced configuration is needed.

The getter for this config returns the Ext.scroll.Scroller instance. You can use the Scroller API to read or manipulate the scroll position:

// scrolls the component to 5 on the x axis and 10 on the y axis
component.getScrollable().scrollTo(5, 10);

Defaults to:

null

selfAlign : String

bindable bind

Specifies the self alignment of this widget in a box layout

Defaults to:

null

session : Boolean / Object / Ext.data.Session

bindable bind

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

shadow : Boolean

bindable bind

Configure as true for the component to have a drop shadow. 'false' will suppress any default shadow. By default the theme will determine the presence of a shadow.

Defaults to:

null

Available since: 6.2.0

shareableName : Boolean

Set to true to allow this component's name to be shared by other items in the same nameHolder. Such items will be returned in an array from lookupName.

Defaults to:

false

shim : Boolean

bindable bind

Only valid when a component is cfg-floated

Configure as true for the component to use an <iframe> as an underlay to ensure certain non-standard browser plugins are occluded by this component.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.2.0

showAnimation : String / Mixed

bindable bind

Animation effect to apply when the Component is being shown. Typically you want to use an inbound animation type such as 'fadeIn' or 'slideIn'. For more animations, check the Ext.fx.Animation#type config.

Defaults to:

null

style : String / Object

bindable bind

Additional CSS styles that will be rendered into an inline style attribute when the widget is rendered.

You can pass either a string syntax:

style: 'background:red'

Or by using an object:

style: {
    background: 'red'
}

When using the object syntax, you can define CSS Properties by using a string:

style: {
    'border-left': '1px solid red'
}

Although the object syntax is much easier to read, we suggest you to use the string syntax for better performance.

Defaults to:

null

tabIndex : Number

bindable bind

DOM tabIndex attribute for this component's focusEl.

Defaults to:

null

toFrontOnShow : Boolean

bindable bind

True to automatically call toFront when a cfg-floated Component is shown.

Defaults to:

true

tooltip : String / Object

bindable bind

The tooltip for this component - can be a string to be used as innerHTML (html tags are accepted) or Ext.tip.ToolTip config object.

The default behavior is to use a shared tip instance. The tooltip configuration is registered with the Ext.tip.Manager. To enable this, your application can set the Ext.app.Application#quickTips config, or an instance of the Ext.tip.Manager may be created manually.

To force a unique tooltip instance to be created, specify autoCreate: true on this configuration.

Configuring this with autoHide: false implies autoCreate: true so that the desired persistent behavior can be obtained with other targets still showing the singleton instance.

Defaults to:

null

top : Number / String

bindable bind

The absolute top position of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. Explicitly setting this value will make this Component become 'positioned', which means it will no longer participate in the layout of the Container that it resides in.

Defaults to:

null

touchAction : Object

bindable bind

Emulates the behavior of the CSS touch-action property in a cross-browser compatible manner.

Keys in this object are touch action names, and values are false to disable a touch action or true to enable it. Accepted keys are:

• panX
• panY
• pinchZoom
• doubleTapZoom

All touch actions are enabled (true) by default, so it is usually only necessary to specify which touch actions to disable. For example, the following disables only horizontal scrolling and pinch-to-zoom on the component's main element:

touchAction: {
    panX: false,
    pinchZoom: false
}

Touch actions can be specified on reference elements using the reference element name, for example:

// disables horizontal scrolling on the main element, and double-tap-zoom
// on the child element named "body"
touchAction: {
    panY: false
    body: {
        doubleTapZoom: false
    }
}

The primary motivation for setting the touch-action of an element is to prevent the browser's default handling of a gesture such as pinch-to-zoom, or drag-to-scroll, so that the application can implement its own handling of that gesture on the element. Suppose, for example, a component has a custom drag handler on its element and wishes to prevent horizontal scrolling of its container while it is being dragged:

Ext.create('Ext.Widget', {
    touchAction: {
        panX: false
    },
    listeners: {
        drag: function(e) {
            // implement drag logic
        }
    }
});

Defaults to:

null

tpl : String / String[] / Ext.Template / Ext.XTemplate[]

bindable bind

A String, Ext.Template, Ext.XTemplate or an Array of strings to form an Ext.XTemplate. Used in conjunction with the data and tplWriteMode configurations.

Note The data configuration must be set for any content to be shown in the component when using this configuration.

Defaults to:

null

tplWriteMode : String

bindable bind

The Ext.(X)Template method to use when updating the content area of the Component.

Valid modes are:

• append
• insertAfter
• insertBefore
• insertFirst
• overwrite

Defaults to:

'overwrite'

twoWayBindable : String / String[] / Object

bindable bind

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

ui : String / String[]

bindable bind

The ui or uis to be used on this Component

When a ui is configured, CSS class names are added to the element, created by appending the ui name(s) to each classCls and/or baseCls.

Defaults to:

null

userCls : String / String[]

bindable bind

One or more CSS classes to add to the component's primary element. This config is intended solely for use by the component instantiator (the "user"), not by derived classes.

For example:

 items: [{
     xtype: 'button',
     userCls: 'my-button'
 ...
 }]

Defaults to:

null

userSelectable : Boolean / String / Object

bindable bind

Set to true to allow users to select text within this component.

Can also be any valid value for the CSS3 user-select property.

A value of true implies auto, while false implies none.

May also be an object keyed by child element name.

By default, the user cannot click+drag+select text/elements of the UI. Applications may want to enable user selection for specific DOM elements, such as the bodyElement of a component used as a tab panel. The tab and tab text would not be user selectable in this example, but the content area when the tab is selected would.

 userSelectable: {
     element: true,       // optionally allow the element to be user selectable
     bodyElement: true    // optionally allow the component's body element to be user selectable
 }

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.5.1

viewModel : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewModel

bindable bind

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

weight : Number

bindable bind

This value controls this item's order in a weighted Ext.Container (see parent).

Lower values gravitate towards the start of the container - the top in vertical layouts, the locale start side in horizontal layouts.

Defaults to:

0

width : Number / String

bindable bind

The width of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc. By default, if this is not explicitly set, this Component's element will simply have its own natural size. If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.

Defaults to:

null

x : Number

bindable bind

Only valid when a component is cfg-floated

The x position at which to position this component. This is usually viewport-relative. But if there is a relative: true ancestor, it will be relative to that.

Defaults to:

0

xtype : String

The xtype configuration option can be used to optimize Component creation and rendering. It serves as a shortcut to the full component name. For example, the component Ext.button.Button has an xtype of button.

You can define your own xtype on a custom Ext.Component by specifying the alias config option with a prefix of widget. For example:

Ext.define('PressMeButton', {
    extend: 'Ext.button.Button',
    alias: 'widget.pressmebutton',
    text: 'Press Me'
});

Any Component can be created implicitly as an object config with an xtype specified, allowing it to be declared and passed into the rendering pipeline without actually being instantiated as an object. Not only is rendering deferred, but the actual creation of the object itself is also deferred, saving memory and resources until they are actually needed. In complex, nested layouts containing many Components, this can make a noticeable improvement in performance.

// Explicit creation of contained Components:
var panel = new Ext.Panel({
   // ...
   items: [
      Ext.create('Ext.button.Button', {
         text: 'OK'
      })
   ]
});

// Implicit creation using xtype:
var panel = new Ext.Panel({
   // ...
   items: [{
      xtype: 'button',
      text: 'OK'
   }]
});

In the first example, the button will always be created immediately during the panel's initialization. With many added Components, this approach could potentially slow the rendering of the page. In the second example, the button will not be created or rendered until the panel is actually displayed in the browser. If the panel is never displayed (for example, if it is a tab that remains hidden) then the button will never be created and will never consume any resources whatsoever.

y : Number

bindable bind

Only valid when a component is cfg-floated

The x position at which to position this component. This is usually viewport-relative. But if there is a relative: true ancestor, it will be relative to that.

Defaults to:

0

zIndex : Number

bindable bind

The z-index to give this Component when it is rendered.

Not valid for cfg-floated Components. The Z ordering of cfg-floated Components is managed by ordering of the DOM elements.

Defaults to:

null

ariaRole : String

readonly ro

ARIA role for this Component, defaults to no role. With no role, no other ARIA attributes are set.

classCls

A CSS class to apply to the main element that will be inherited down the class hierarchy. Subclasses may override this property on their prototype to add their own CSS class in addition to the CSS classes inherited from ancestor classes via the prototype chain. For example

Ext.define('Foo', {
    extend: 'Ext.Widget',
    classCls: 'foo'
});

Ext.define('Bar', {
    extend: 'Foo',
    classCls: 'bar'
});

var bar = new Bar();

console.log(bar.element.className); // outputs 'foo bar'

Defaults to:

Ext.baseCSSPrefix + 'component'

containsFocus : Boolean

readonly ro

true if this currently focused element is within this Component's or Container's hierarchy. This property is set separately from hasFocus, and can be true when hasFocus is false.

Examples:

• Text field with input element focused would be: focusable: true, hasFocus: true, containsFocus: true

• Date field with drop-down picker currently focused would be: focusable: true, hasFocus: false, containsFocus: true

• Form Panel with a child input field currently focused would be: focusable: false, hasFocus: false, containsFocus: true

See also hasFocus.

Defaults to:

false

defaultBindProperty : String

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:

'html'

factoryConfig : Object

If this property is specified by the target class of this mixin its properties are used to configure the created Ext.Factory.

floatingCls : String

The CSS class to add to this component when it is floated at the viewport level.

Defaults to:

Ext.baseCSSPrefix + 'floating'

focusable : Boolean

readonly ro

true for keyboard interactive Components or Widgets, false otherwise. For Containers, this property reflects interactiveness of the Container itself, not its children. See isFocusable.

Note: It is not enough to set this property to true to make a component keyboard interactive. You also need to make sure that the component's focusEl is reachable via Tab key (tabbable). See also tabIndex.

Defaults to:

false

focusableContainerEl : String / Ext.dom.Element

The name of the element that FocusableContainer should bind its keyboard handler to. Similar to ariaEl, this name is resolved to the Ext.dom.Element instance after rendering.

Defaults to:

"el"

focusClsEl : Ext.dom.Element

The element that will have the focusCls applied when component's focusEl is focused.

focusEl : Ext.dom.Element

The element that will be focused when focus method is called on this component. Usually this is the same element that receives focus via mouse clicks, taps, and pressing Tab key.

Defaults to:

'el'

hasFocus : Boolean

readonly ro

true if this component's focusEl is focused. See also containsFocus.

Defaults to:

false

hasListeners : Object

readonly ro

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);
 }

inheritUi : Boolean / String

Set to true on widgets that should inherit ui from their parent container. This property is typically set on the class body, but can be set on an instance as long as it is set prior to the instance being added to its container. This property is inspected at the moment a widget is added to a container, and any UIs on the container are added to the widget at that time. Inherited UIs are in addition to the widget's own ui, and are updated when the container's UI changes.

Defaults to:

false

isContainer : Boolean

true in this class to identify an object as an instantiated Container, or subclass thereof.

Defaults to:

true

isObservable : Boolean

true in this class to identify an object as an instantiated Observable, or subclass thereof.

Defaults to:

true

rendered : Boolean

readonly ro

The rendered flag is set when a widget is inserted into the document for the first time.

Note that this is a one-way operation. The first time a widget is inserted into the document, this flag is set, and it is never unset.

addAfterListener

Alias for onAfter.

addBeforeListener

Alias for onBefore.

addCls ( cls, [prefix], [suffix] )

Adds a CSS class (or classes) to this Component's rendered element.

Parameters

addListener ( eventName, [fn], [scope], [options], [order] ) : Object

chainable ch

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}
});

Parameters

  var panel = new Ext.panel.Panel({
      title: 'The title',
      listeners: {
          click: this.handlePanelClick,
          element: 'body'
      }
  });

 panel.body.un(...)

 handler('foo', 42, <actual event arguments>...);

false

'current'

Returns

this.btnListeners =  = myButton.on({
    destroyable: true
    mouseover:   function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
    mouseout:    function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
    click:       function() { console.log('click'); }
});

Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);

this.btnListeners.destroy();

addManagedListener ( item, ename, [fn], [scope], [options] ) : Object

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.

Parameters

Returns

this.btnListeners = myButton.mon({
    destroyable: true
    mouseover:   function() { console.log('mouseover'); },
    mouseout:    function() { console.log('mouseout'); },
    click:       function() { console.log('click'); }
});

Ext.destroy(this.btnListeners);

this.btnListeners.destroy();

addPlugin ( plugin )

Adds a plugin. For example:

 list.addPlugin('pullrefresh');

Or:

 list.addPlugin({
     type: 'pullrefresh',
     pullRefreshText: 'Pull to refresh...'
 });

Available since: 6.2.0

Parameters

afterRender

template tpl

This method is called after the component is initially added to the DOM. If this component Ext.Container other components, the afterRender method for child components is called before the parent's afterRender.

Implementations of this method should avoid reading from the DOM but are free to write to the DOM as needed. To read the DOM, consider implementing onRender instead.

This method is not generally needed because components always have their own DOM element and these are maintained by config property updaters prior to insertion in the DOM. In general, it is always best to manipulate the component's elements outside the DOM where there is no associated reflow or layout cost. This method is useful for situations where the component's elements must be in the DOM in order to be manipulated correctly.

Available since: 6.5.0

This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
