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).
Called when a raw config object is added to this container either during initialization of the items config, or when new items are added), or {@link #insert inserted.
This method converts the passed object into an instanced child component.
This may be overridden in subclasses when special processing needs to be applied to child creation.
item : Object
The config object being added.
The component to be added.
Let's look at each part of the member row:
lookupComponent in this example)( item ) in this example)Ext.Component in this case). This may be omitted for methods that do not
return anything other than undefined or may display as multiple possible values
separated by a forward slash / signifying that what is returned may depend on the
results of the method call (i.e. a method may return a Component if a get method calls is
successful or false if unsuccessful which would be displayed as
Ext.Component/Boolean).PROTECTED in
this example - see the Flags section below)Ext.container.Container in this example). The source
class will be displayed as a blue link if the member originates from the current class
and gray if it is inherited from an ancestor or mixed-in class.view source in the example)item : Object in the example).undefined a "Returns" section
will note the type of class or object returned and a description (Ext.Component in the
example)Available since 3.4.0 - not pictured in
the example) just after the member descriptionDefaults to: false)The API documentation uses a number of flags to further commnicate the class member's function and intent. The label may be represented by a text label, an abbreviation, or an icon.
classInstance.method1().method2().etc();false is returned from
an event handler- Indicates a framework class
- A singleton framework class. *See the singleton flag for more information
- A component-type framework class (any class within the Ext JS framework that extends Ext.Component)

Just below the class name on an API doc page is a row of buttons corresponding to the types of members owned by the current class. Each button shows a count of members by type (this count is updated as filters are applied). Clicking the button will navigate you to that member section. Hovering over the member-type button will reveal a popup menu of all members of that type for quick navigation.
Getting and setter methods that correlate to a class config option will show up in the methods section as well as in the configs section of both the API doc and the member-type menus just beneath the config they work with. The getter and setter method documentation will be found in the config row for easy reference.
Your page history is kept in localstorage and displayed (using the available real estate) just below the top title bar. By default, the only search results shown are the pages matching the product / version you're currently viewing. You can expand what is displayed by clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the history bar and choosing the "All" radio option. This will show all recent pages in the history bar for all products / versions.
Within the history config menu you will also see a listing of your recent page visits. The results are filtered by the "Current Product / Version" and "All" radio options. Clicking on the button will clear the history bar as well as the history kept in local storage.
If "All" is selected in the history config menu the checkbox option for "Show product details in the history bar" will be enabled. When checked, the product/version for each historic page will show alongside the page name in the history bar. Hovering the cursor over the page names in the history bar will also show the product/version as a tooltip.
Both API docs and guides can be searched for using the search field at the top of the page.
On API doc pages there is also a filter input field that filters the member rows using the filter string. In addition to filtering by string you can filter the class members by access level and inheritance. 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.
This class provides Date specific processing for fields.
In previous releases this functionality was integral to the Field base class.
Used for validating a Ext.data.Model. Defaults to true. An empty value here will cause Ext.data.Model.isValid to evaluate to false.
Defaults to: true
Use when converting received data into a Ext.data.field.Integer,
Ext.data.field.Number, Ext.data.field.Boolean
or Ext.data.field.String type. If the value cannot be
parsed, null will be used if allowNull is true, otherwise a default value for that type will be used:
int and float - 0.string - "".bool - false.Note that when parsing of Ext.data.field.Date type fails, the value will
be null regardless of this setting.
Defaults to: false
This config defines a simple field calculation function. A calculate method only has access to the record data and should return the value of the calculated field. When provided in this way, the depends config is automatically determined by parsing the calculate function. For example:
fields: [{
name: 'firstName',
type: 'string'
},{
name: 'lastName',
type: 'string'
},{
name: 'fullName',
calculate: function (data) {
return data.firstName + ' ' + data.lastName;
}
}]
The above 'fullName' field is equivalent to:
{
name: 'fullName',
convert: function (v, rec) {
return rec.get('firstName') + ' ' + rec.get('lastName');
},
depends: ['firstName', 'lastName']
}
The restrictions on form for a calculate method are that the accesses to field values must match the following regular expression (case insensitive):
data.([a-z_][a-z0-9_]*)
// where 'data' is the param passed to the calculate method
The only advantage of a calculate method over a convert method is automatic
determination of depends.
Note: The use of calculate and convert are exclusive. The calculate method will override the convert method if both are configured.
Note: Fields used by the calculate method must be explicitly defined in the fields of the model.
data : Object
An object with all values for each field in the parent model. See getData.
value The value of the calculated field
If specified this config overrides the convert method. See also calculate for simple field calculations.
Note: The use of calculate and convert are exclusive. The calculate method will override the convert method if both are configured.
A critical field is a field that must always be sent to the server even if it has not changed. The most common example of such a field is the "id" of a record (see Ext.data.Model#idProperty but the Ext.data.Model#versionProperty is similarly a critical field.
Defaults to: false
Serves as a default for the dateReadFormat and dateWriteFormat config options. This will be used in place of those other configurations if not specified.
A format string for the Ext.Date.parse function, or "timestamp" if the value provided by the Reader is a UNIX timestamp, or "time" if the value provided by the Reader is a javascript millisecond timestamp. See Ext.Date.
It is quite important to note that while this config is optional, it will default to using the base
JavaScript Date object's parse function if not specified, rather than Ext.Date.parse.
This can cause unexpected issues, especially when converting between timezones, or when converting dates that
do not have a timezone specified. The behavior of the native Date.parse is implementation-specific, and
depending on the value of the date string, it might return the UTC date or the local date. For this reason
it is strongly recommended that you always specify an explicit date format when parsing dates.
Defaults to: null
Gets the dateFormat for this field. See dateFormat.
dateFormat
Used when converting received data into a Date when the type is specified as "date".
This configuration takes precedence over dateFormat.
See dateFormat for more information.
Defaults to: null
Gets the dateReadFormat for this field. See dateReadFormat.
dateReadFormat
Sets the value of dateReadFormat
dateReadFormat : String
Provides a custom format when serializing dates with a Ext.data.writer.Writer. If this is not specified, the dateFormat will be used. If no dateFormat is specified, 'timestamp' format is used.
See the Ext.data.writer.Writer docs for more information on writing dates.
Note It is not possible to use the standard date serialization pathway or native browser JSON production to use a JsonWriter to send Microsoft formated "JSON" dates.
To use a JsonWriter to write dates in a JSON packet in
the form "\/Date(1357372800000)\/" configure the field like this:
{ type: 'date', dateFormat: 'MS', // To parse incoming dates from server correctly serialize: null // Avoid formatting or conversion by the Writer }
Then override the Ext.JSON date serialize function:
Ext.JSON.encodeDate = function (d) { return '"' + Ext.Date.format(d, 'MS') + '"'; };
Defaults to: null
Gets the dateWriteFormat for this field. See dateWriteFormat.
dateWriteFormat
Sets the value of dateWriteFormat
dateWriteFormat : String
The default value used when the creating an instance from a raw data object, and the property referenced by the mapping does not exist in that data object.
The value undefined prevents defaulting in a value.
Gets the defaultValue for this field. See defaultValue.
defaultValue
The field name or names within the Ext.data.Model on which the value
of this field depends, and from which a new value may be calculated. These values
are the values used by the convert method. If you do not have a convert method
then this config should not be specified.
Before using this config you should consider if using a calculate method instead
of a convert method would be simpler.
Whenever any of the named fields are set using the set
method, this fields will have its convert method called passing the
Ext.data.Model so that the dependent value can be calculated from
all fields which it needs.
For example, to display a person's full name, using two separate firstName and
lastName fields, configure the name field like this:
{
name: 'name',
// Will be called whenever forename or surname fields are set
convert: function (v, rec) {
return rec.get('firstName') + ' ' + rec.get('lastName');
},
depends: [ 'firstName', 'lastName' ],
// It should not be returned to the server - it's not a database field
persist: false
}
Note that if you do not want the calculated field to be part of the field set sent
back to the server when the store is synchronized, you should configure the field
with persist set to false.
Defaults to: null
(Optional) A path expression for use by the Ext.data.reader.Reader implementation that is creating the Ext.data.Model to extract the Field value from the data object. If the path expression is the same as the field name, the mapping may be omitted. A function may be passed to do complex data extraction. The examples below are simple just to demonstrate the capability, typically, a function would not be used to extract such simple data.
The form of the mapping expression depends on the Reader being used.
The mapping is a string containing the javascript expression to reference the data from an element of the data item's rootProperty Array. Defaults to the field name. If a function is passed, a single argument is received which contains the raw json object:
// Server returns [{"name": "Foo", "age": 1}, {"name": "Bar", "age": 2}]
mapping: function(data) {
return data.name;
}
The mapping is an Ext.DomQuery path to the data item relative to the DOM element that represents the record. Defaults to the field name. If a function is passed, a single argument is received which contains the record node:
// Server returns <Root><Person><Name>Foo</Name><Age>1</Age></Person><Person><Name>Bar</Name><Age>2</Age></Person></Root>
mapping: function(data) {
return data.firstChild.textContent;
}
The mapping is a number indicating the Array index of the field's value. Defaults to the field specification's Array position. If a function is passed, a single argument is received which contains the child array.
// Server returns [["Foo", 1], ["Bar", 2]]
mapping: function(data) {
return data[0];
}
If a more complex value extraction strategy is required, then configure the Field with a convert function. This is passed the whole row object, and may interrogate it in whatever way is necessary in order to return the desired data.
Defaults to: null
The name by which the field is referenced within the Model. This is referenced by,
for example, the dataIndex property in column definition objects passed to
Ext.grid.property.HeaderContainer.
Note: In the simplest case, if no properties other than name are required, a field definition may consist of just a String for the field name.
Defaults to: null
False to exclude this field from the Ext.data.Model#modified fields in a record. This will also exclude the field from being written using a Ext.data.writer.Writer. This option is useful when fields are used to keep state on the client but do not need to be persisted to the server.
Defaults to false for calculated fields and true otherwise.
Defaults to: null
The name of the entity referenced by this field. In most databases, this relationship is represented by a "foreign key". That is, a value for such a field matches the value of the id for an entity of this type.
For further documentation, see Ext.data.schema.Reference.
Defaults to: null
A function which converts a Field's value to a comparable value in order to ensure correct sort ordering.
Predefined functions are provided in Ext.data.SortTypes. A custom sort example:
// current sort after sort we want
// +-+------+ +-+------+
// |1|First | |1|First |
// |2|Last | |3|Second|
// |3|Second| |2|Last |
// +-+------+ +-+------+
sortType: function(value) {
switch (value.toLowerCase()) // native toLowerCase():
{
case 'first': return 1;
case 'second': return 2;
default: return 3;
}
}
May also be set to a String value, corresponding to one of the named sort types in Ext.data.SortTypes.
true if the value of this field is unique amongst all instances. When used with a
reference this describes a "one-to-one" relationship. It is almost always the case
that a unique field cannot also be nullable.
Defaults to: false
Used to manually set strict date parsing on a per-field basis. If no useStrict is specified, will use value of Ext.Date.useStrict to determine how to process dates.
Available since: 6.2.0
An array of Ext.data.validator.Validator for this field. These validators will only be passed a field value to validate.
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
This property is true if this field has a calculate
method or a convert method that operates on the entire
record as opposed to just the data value. This property is determined from the
length of the convert function which means this is
not calculated:
convert: function (value) {
return ...
}
While this is calculated:
convert: function (value, record) {
return ...
}
NOTE: It is recommended for such fields to use calculate or explicitly specify the fields used by convert using depends.
Defaults to: false
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 default message to present for an invalid field.
Defaults to: 'This field is invalid'
Available since: 5.0.0
The class (derived from Ext.data.Model) that defined this field.
Ext.define('MyApp.models.Foo', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'bar' }
],
...
});
var barField = MyApp.models.Foo.getField('bar');
alert(barField.definedBy === MyApp.models.Foo); // alerts 'true'
When a field is inherited, this value will reference the class that originally defined the field.
Ext.define('MyApp.models.Base', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'foo' }
],
...
});
Ext.define('MyApp.models.Derived', {
extend: 'MyApp.models.Base',
fields: [
{ name: 'bar' }
],
...
});
var fooField = MyApp.models.Derived.getField('foo');
alert(fooField.definedBy === MyApp.models.Base); // alerts 'true'
Defaults to: null
This array tracks the fields that have indicated this field in their depends
list. If no fields depend on this field, this will be null.
Defaults to: null
This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.
Defaults to: false
This flag is set to true for fields that have convert methods which take the 2nd
argument (the record) and do not specify a depends set. Good fields indicate the
fields on which they depend (if any).
Defaults to: false
If this property is specified by the target class of this mixin its properties are used to configure the created Ext.Factory.
This property is set to true if this is an id
field.
Defaults to: false
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
The position of this field in the Ext.data.Model in which it was defined.
This is a 1-based value that describes the dependency order of this field. This is
initialized to null (falsey) so we can cheaply topo-sort the fields of a class.
Defaults to: null
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
A regular expression for stripping non-numeric characters from a numeric value. This should be overridden for localization.
Defaults to: /[\$,%]/g
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
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 #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 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 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
Compares two values to retrieve their relative position in sort order, taking into account any sortType. Also see compare.
value1 : Object
The first value.
value2 : Object
The second value.
-1 if value1 is less than value2. 1 if value1 is greater than value2.
0 otherwise.
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.
Returns a specified config property value. If the name parameter is not passed, all current configuration options will be returned as key value pairs.
name : String (optional)
The name of the config property to get.
peek : Boolean (optional)
true to peek at the raw value without calling the getter.
Defaults to: false
The config property value.
Returns the initial configuration passed to the constructor when instantiating this class.
Given this example Ext.button.Button definition and instance:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.Button', {
extend: 'Ext.button.Button',
xtype: 'mybutton',
scale: 'large',
enableToggle: true
});
var btn = Ext.create({
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
text: 'Test Button'
});
Calling btn.getInitialConfig() would return an object including the config
options passed to the create method:
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: // The document body itself
text: 'Test Button'
Calling btn.getInitialConfig('text')returns 'Test Button'.
name : String (optional)
Name of the config option to return.
The full config object or a single config value when name parameter specified.
Gets the sortDir for this field.
sortDir
Deprecated since version 5.1
Setting sortDir and calling getSortDir were never applied by the
the Sorter. This functionality does not natively exist on field instances.
Checks if this field has a mapping applied.
true if this field has a mapping.
Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:
Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {
// The default config
config: {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
instanceConfig : Object
this
Tests whether two values are equal based on this field type. This uses the compare method to determine equality, so this method should generally not be overridden.
value1 : Object
The first value.
value2 : Object
The second value.
true if the values are equal.
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
The value passed.
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
Destroys a given set of linked objects. This is only needed if the linked object is being destroyed before this instance.
names : String[]
The names of the linked objects to destroy.
this
Validates the passed value for this field.
Available since: 5.0.0
value : Object
The value to validate.
separator : String (optional)
This string is passed if the caller wants all validation messages concatenated with this string between each. This can be handled as a "falsy" value because concatenating with no separator is seldom desirable.
errors : Ext.data.ErrorCollection (optional)
This parameter is passed if the caller wants all validation results individually added to the collection.
record : Ext.data.Model
The record being validated
true if the value is valid. A string may be returned if
the value is not valid, to indicate an error message. Any other non true value
indicates the value is not valid. This method is not implemented by default,
subclasses may override it to provide an implementation.
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
Adds new config properties to this class. This is called for classes when they are declared, then for any mixins that class may define and finally for any overrides defined that target the class.
config : Object
mixinClass : Ext.Class (optional)
The mixin class if the configs are from a mixin.
members : Object
name : Object
member : Object
Add methods / properties to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('My.awesome.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
...
}
});
My.awesome.Cat.addMembers({
meow: function() {
alert('Meowww...');
}
});
var kitty = new My.awesome.Cat();
kitty.meow();
members : Object
The members to add to this class.
isStatic : Boolean (optional)
Pass true if the members are static.
Defaults to: false
privacy : Boolean (optional)
Pass true if the members are private. This
only has meaning in debug mode and only for methods.
Defaults to: false
Add / override static properties of this class.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
...
});
My.cool.Class.addStatics({
someProperty: 'someValue', // My.cool.Class.someProperty = 'someValue'
method1: function() { ... }, // My.cool.Class.method1 = function() { ... };
method2: function() { ... } // My.cool.Class.method2 = function() { ... };
});
members : Object
this
Borrow another class' members to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('Bank', {
money: '$$$',
printMoney: function() {
alert('$$$$$$$');
}
});
Ext.define('Thief', {
...
});
Thief.borrow(Bank, ['money', 'printMoney']);
var steve = new Thief();
alert(steve.money); // alerts '$$$'
steve.printMoney(); // alerts '$$$$$$$'
fromClass : Ext.Base
The class to borrow members from
members : Array / String
The names of the members to borrow
this
Create a new instance of this Class.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
...
});
My.cool.Class.create({
someConfig: true
});
All parameters are passed to the constructor of the class.
the created instance.
Create aliases for existing prototype methods. Example:
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
method1: function() { ... },
method2: function() { ... }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()
alias : String / Object
The new method name, or an object to set multiple aliases. See flexSetter
origin : String / Object
The original method name
Returns the Ext.Configurator for this class.
Get the current class' name in string format.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.getName()); // alerts 'My.cool.Class'
}
});
My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'
className
Used internally by the mixins pre-processor
name : Object
mixinClass : Object
fn : Object
scope : Object
Override members of this class. Overridden methods can be invoked via Ext.Base#callParent.
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm a cat!");
}
});
My.Cat.override({
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
Direct use of this method should be rare. Use Ext.define instead:
Ext.define('My.CatOverride', {
override: 'My.Cat',
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
The above accomplishes the same result but can be managed by the Ext.Loader which can properly order the override and its target class and the build process can determine whether the override is needed based on the required state of the target class (My.Cat).
members : Object
The properties to add to this class. This should be specified as an object literal containing one or more properties.
