Many classes have shortcut names used when creating (instantiating) a class with a
configuration object. The shortcut name is referred to as an alias (or xtype if the
class extends Ext.Component). The alias/xtype is listed next to the class name of
applicable classes for quick reference.
Framework classes or their members may be specified as private or protected. Else,
the class / member is public. Public, protected, and private are access
descriptors used to convey how and when the class or class member should be used.
Public classes and class members are available for use by any other class or application code and may be relied upon as a stable and persistent within major product versions. Public classes and members may safely be extended via a subclass.
Protected class members are stable public members intended to be used by the
owning class or its subclasses. Protected members may safely be extended via a subclass.
Private classes and class members are used internally by the framework and are not intended to be used by application developers. Private classes and members may change or be omitted from the framework at any time without notice and should not be relied upon in application logic.
static label next to the
method name. *See Static below.Below is an example class member that we can disect to show the syntax of a class member (the lookupComponent method as viewed from the Ext.button.Button class in this case).
Let's look at each part of the member row:
lookupComponent in this example)( item ) in this example)Ext.Component in this case). This may be omitted for methods that do not
return anything other than undefined or may display as multiple possible values
separated by a forward slash / signifying that what is returned may depend on the
results of the method call (i.e. a method may return a Component if a get method calls is
successful or false if unsuccessful which would be displayed as
Ext.Component/Boolean).PROTECTED in
this example - see the Flags section below)Ext.container.Container in this example). The source
class will be displayed as a blue link if the member originates from the current class
and gray if it is inherited from an ancestor or mixed-in class.view source in the example)item : Object in the example).undefined a "Returns" section
will note the type of class or object returned and a description (Ext.Component in the
example)Available since 3.4.0 - not pictured in
the example) just after the member descriptionDefaults to: false)The API documentation uses a number of flags to further commnicate the class member's function and intent. The label may be represented by a text label, an abbreviation, or an icon.
classInstance.method1().method2().etc();false is returned from
an event handler- Indicates a framework class

Just below the class name on an API doc page is a row of buttons corresponding to the types of members owned by the current class. Each button shows a count of members by type (this count is updated as filters are applied). Clicking the button will navigate you to that member section. Hovering over the member-type button will reveal a popup menu of all members of that type for quick navigation.
Getting and setter methods that correlate to a class config option will show up in the methods section as well as in the configs section of both the API doc and the member-type menus just beneath the config they work with. The getter and setter method documentation will be found in the config row for easy reference.
Your page history is kept in localstorage and displayed (using the available real estate) just below the top title bar. By default, the only search results shown are the pages matching the product / version you're currently viewing. You can expand what is displayed by clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the history bar and choosing the "All" radio option. This will show all recent pages in the history bar for all products / versions.
Within the history config menu you will also see a listing of your recent page visits. The results are filtered by the "Current Product / Version" and "All" radio options. Clicking on the button will clear the history bar as well as the history kept in local storage.
If "All" is selected in the history config menu the checkbox option for "Show product details in the history bar" will be enabled. When checked, the product/version for each historic page will show alongside the page name in the history bar. Hovering the cursor over the page names in the history bar will also show the product/version as a tooltip.
Both API docs and guides can be searched for using the search field at the top of the page.
On API doc pages there is also a filter input field that filters the member rows using the filter string. In addition to filtering by string you can filter the class members by access level, inheritance, and read only. This is done using the checkboxes at the top of the page.
The checkbox at the bottom of the API class navigation tree filters the class list to include or exclude private classes.
Clicking on an empty search field will show your last 10 searches for quick navigation.
Each API doc page (with the exception of Javascript primitives pages) has a menu view of metadata relating to that class. This metadata view will have one or more of the following:
Ext.button.Button class has an alternate class name of Ext.Button). Alternate class
names are commonly maintained for backward compatibility.Runnable examples (Fiddles) are expanded on a page by default. You can collapse and expand example code blocks individually using the arrow on the top-left of the code block. You can also toggle the collapse state of all examples using the toggle button on the top-right of the page. The toggle-all state will be remembered between page loads.
Class members are collapsed on a page by default. You can expand and collapse members using the arrow icon on the left of the member row or globally using the expand / collapse all toggle button top-right.
Viewing the docs on narrower screens or browsers will result in a view optimized for a smaller form factor. The primary differences between the desktop and "mobile" view are:
The class source can be viewed by clicking on the class name at the top of an API doc page. The source for class members can be viewed by clicking on the "view source" link on the right-hand side of the member row.
A DragDrop implementation specialized for use with BoxReorderer.
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
A prototype-chained object storing transform method names and priorities stored on the class prototype. On first instantiation, this object is converted into an array that is sorted by priority and stored on the constructor.
Defaults to:
{}
The available property is false until the linked dom element is accessible.
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
Provides default constraint padding to "constrainTo" elements.
Defaults to:
{
left: 0,
right: 0,
top: 0,
bottom: 0
}
This property is set to true after the destroy method is called.
Defaults to:
false
The id of the element that will be dragged. By default this is same as the linked element, but could be changed to another element. Ex: Ext.dd.DDProxy
Defaults to:
null
The group defines a logical collection of DragDrop objects that are related. Instances only get events when interacting with other DragDrop object in the same group. This lets us define multiple groups using a single DragDrop subclass if we want.
An object in the format {'group1':true, 'group2':true}
Defaults to:
null
The ID of the element that initiates the drag operation. By default this is the linked element, but could be changed to be a child of this element. This lets us do things like only starting the drag when the header element within the linked html element is clicked.
Defaults to:
null
By default, drags can only be initiated if the mousedown occurs in the region the linked element is. This is done in part to work around a bug in some browsers that mis-report the mousedown if the previous mouseup happened outside of the window. This property is set to true if outer handles are defined. Defaults to false.
Defaults to:
false
The id of the element associated with this object. This is what we refer to as the "linked element" because the size and position of this element is used to determine when the drag and drop objects have interacted.
Defaults to:
null
Set to false to enable a DragDrop object to fire drag events while dragging over its own Element. Defaults to true - DragDrop objects do not by default fire drag events to themselves.
An Array of CSS class names for elements to be considered in valid as drag handles.
Defaults to:
null
An object who's property names identify the IDs of elements to be considered invalid as drag handles. A non-null property value identifies the ID as invalid. For example, to prevent dragging from being initiated on element ID "foo", use:
{
foo: true
}
Defaults to:
null
An object who's property names identify HTML tags to be considered invalid as drag handles.
A non-null property value identifies the tag as invalid. Defaults to the
following value which prevents drag operations from being initiated by <a> elements:
{
A: "A"
}
Defaults to:
null
This property is set to true during the call to initConfig.
Defaults to:
false
Available since: 5.0.0
This property is set to true if this instance is the first of its class.
Defaults to:
false
Available since: 5.0.0
This value is true and is used to identify plain objects from instances of
a defined class.
Defaults to:
true
By default, all instances can be a drop target. This can be disabled by setting isTarget to false.
Defaults to:
true
Individual drag/drop instances can be locked. This will prevent onmousedown start drag.
Defaults to:
false
Maintain offsets when we resetconstraints. Set to true when you want the position of the element relative to its parent to stay the same when the page changes
Defaults to:
false
When set to true, other DD objects in cooperating DDGroups do not receive notification events when this DD object is dragged over them.
Defaults to:
false
The padding configured for this drag and drop object for calculating the drop zone intersection with this object. An array containing the 4 padding values: [top, right, bottom, left]
Defaults to:
null
By default the drag and drop instance will only respond to the primary button click (left button for a right-handed mouse). Set to true to allow drag and drop to start with any mouse click that is propogated by the browser
Defaults to:
true
When set to true, the utility automatically tries to scroll the browser window when a drag and drop element is dragged near the viewport boundary.
Defaults to:
true
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
The linked element's absolute X position at the time the drag was started
Defaults to:
0
The linked element's absolute X position at the time the drag was started
Defaults to:
0
Array of pixel locations the element will snap to if we specified a horizontal graduation/interval. This array is generated automatically when you define a tick interval.
Defaults to:
null
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
Lets you specify a css class of elements that will not initiate a drag
cssClass : String
the class of the elements you wish to ignore
Lets you to specify an element id for a child of a drag handle that should not initiate a drag
id : String
the element id of the element you wish to ignore
Allows you to specify a tag name that should not start a drag operation when clicked. This is designed to facilitate embedding links within a drag handle that do something other than start the drag.
tagName : String
the type of element to exclude
Adds this instance to a group of related drag/drop objects. All instances belong to at least one group, and can belong to as many groups as needed.
sGroup : String
the name of the group
Sets the element to the location of the mousedown or click event, maintaining the cursor location relative to the location on the element that was clicked. Override this if you want to place the element in a location other than where the cursor is.
el : HTMLElement
the element to move
iPageX : Number
the X coordinate of the mousedown or drag event
iPageY : Number
the Y coordinate of the mousedown or drag event
Sets up config options specific to this class. Overrides Ext.dd.DragDrop, but all versions of this method through the inheritance chain are called
Sets the pointer offset to the distance between the linked element's top left corner and the location the element was clicked.
iPageX : Number
the X coordinate of the click
iPageY : Number
the Y coordinate of the click
Auto-scroll the window if the dragged object has been moved beyond the visible window boundary.
x : Number
the drag element's x position
y : Number
the drag element's y position
h : Number
the height of the drag element
w : Number
the width of the drag element
Event that fires prior to the onDrag event. Overrides Ext.dd.DragDrop.
e : Object
Event that fires prior to the onMouseDown event. Overrides Ext.dd.DragDrop.
e : Object
Code that executes immediately before the startDrag event
x : Object
y : Object
Saves the most recent position so that we can reset the constraints and tick marks on-demand. We need to know this so that we can calculate the number of pixels the element is offset from its original position.
iPageX : Number (optional)
the current x position (this just makes it so we don't have to look it up again)
iPageY : Number (optional)
the current y position (this just makes it so we don't have to look it up again)
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
Clears any constraints applied to this instance. Also clears ticks since they can't exist independent of a constraint at this time.
Initializes the drag drop object's constraints to restrict movement to a certain element.
Usage:
var dd = new Ext.dd.DDProxy("dragDiv1", "proxytest",
{ dragElId: "existingProxyDiv" });
dd.startDrag = function(){
this.constrainTo("parent-id");
};
Or you can initalize it using the Ext.dom.Element object:
Ext.get("dragDiv1").initDDProxy("proxytest", {dragElId: "existingProxyDiv"}, {
startDrag : function(){
this.constrainTo("parent-id");
}
});
constrainTo : String/HTMLElement/Ext.dom.Element
The element or element ID to constrain to.
pad : Object/Number (optional)
Pad provides a way to specify "padding"
of the constraints, and can be either a number for symmetrical padding (4 would be equal to
{ left: 4, right: 4, top: 4, bottom: 4 }) or an object containing the sides to pad.
For example: { right: 10, bottom: 10 }
inContent : Boolean (optional)
Constrain the draggable in the content box of the element (inside padding and borders)
Creates new DD instance.
id : String
the id of the linked element
sGroup : String
the group of related DragDrop items
config : Object
an object containing configurable attributes. Valid properties for DD: scroll
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.
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.
Returns a reference to the actual element to drag. By default this is the same as the html element, but it can be assigned to another element. An example of this can be found in Ext.dd.DDProxy
the html element
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.
Finds the location the element should be placed if we want to move it to where the mouse location less the click offset would place us.
iPageX : Number
the X coordinate of the click
iPageY : Number
the Y coordinate of the click
An object that contains the coordinates (Object.x and Object.y)
Normally the drag element is moved pixel by pixel, but we can specify that it move a number of pixels at a time. This method resolves the location when we have it set up like this.

sorted array of valid points
the closest tick
Called when this object is clicked
e : Event
oDD : Ext.dd.DragDrop

isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
instanceConfig : Object

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();
// always equals to 'Cat' no matter what 'this' refers to
// equivalent to: My.Cat.speciesName

scope: me
});
Available since: 6.7.0
name : Object
fn : Object
scope : Object
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.
name : Object
member : Object
privacy : 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
Override members of this class. Overridden methods can be invoked via 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.
