Terms, Icons, and Labels

Many classes have shortcut names used when creating (instantiating) a class with a configuration object. The shortcut name is referred to as an alias (or xtype if the class extends Ext.Component). The alias/xtype is listed next to the class name of applicable classes for quick reference.

Access Levels

Framework classes or their members may be specified as private or protected. Else, the class / member is public. Public, protected, and private are access descriptors used to convey how and when the class or class member should be used.

Member Types

Member Syntax

Below is an example class member that we can disect to show the syntax of a class member (the lookupComponent method as viewed from the Ext.button.Button class in this case).

lookupComponent ( item ) : Ext.Component
protected

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

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

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

Parameters

item :  Object

The config object being added.

Returns
Ext.Component

The component to be added.

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

Member Flags

The API documentation uses a number of flags to further commnicate the class member's function and intent. The label may be represented by a text label, an abbreviation, or an icon.

Class Icons

- Indicates a framework class

- A singleton framework class. *See the singleton flag for more information

- A component-type framework class (any class within the Ext JS framework that extends Ext.Component)

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

Member Icons

- Indicates a class member of type config

- Indicates a class member of type property

- Indicates a class member of type method

- Indicates a class member of type event

- Indicates a class member of type theme variable

- Indicates a class member of type theme mixin

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

Class Member Quick-Nav Menu

Just below the class name on an API doc page is a row of buttons corresponding to the types of members owned by the current class. Each button shows a count of members by type (this count is updated as filters are applied). Clicking the button will navigate you to that member section. Hovering over the member-type button will reveal a popup menu of all members of that type for quick navigation.

Getter and Setter Methods

Getting and setter methods that correlate to a class config option will show up in the methods section as well as in the configs section of both the API doc and the member-type menus just beneath the config they work with. The getter and setter method documentation will be found in the config row for easy reference.

History Bar

Your page history is kept in localstorage and displayed (using the available real estate) just below the top title bar. By default, the only search results shown are the pages matching the product / version you're currently viewing. You can expand what is displayed by clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the history bar and choosing the "All" radio option. This will show all recent pages in the history bar for all products / versions.

Within the history config menu you will also see a listing of your recent page visits. The results are filtered by the "Current Product / Version" and "All" radio options. Clicking on the button will clear the history bar as well as the history kept in local storage.

If "All" is selected in the history config menu the checkbox option for "Show product details in the history bar" will be enabled. When checked, the product/version for each historic page will show alongside the page name in the history bar. Hovering the cursor over the page names in the history bar will also show the product/version as a tooltip.

Search and Filters

Both API docs and guides can be searched for using the search field at the top of the page.

On API doc pages there is also a filter input field that filters the member rows using the filter string. In addition to filtering by string you can filter the class members by access level, inheritance, and read only. This is done using the checkboxes at the top of the page.

The checkbox at the bottom of the API class navigation tree filters the class list to include or exclude private classes.

Clicking on an empty search field will show your last 10 searches for quick navigation.

API Doc Class Metadata

Each API doc page (with the exception of Javascript primitives pages) has a menu view of metadata relating to that class. This metadata view will have one or more of the following:

Expanding and Collapsing Examples and Class Members

Runnable examples (Fiddles) are expanded on a page by default. You can collapse and expand example code blocks individually using the arrow on the top-left of the code block. You can also toggle the collapse state of all examples using the toggle button on the top-right of the page. The toggle-all state will be remembered between page loads.

Class members are collapsed on a page by default. You can expand and collapse members using the arrow icon on the left of the member row or globally using the expand / collapse all toggle button top-right.

Desktop -vs- Mobile View

Viewing the docs on narrower screens or browsers will result in a view optimized for a smaller form factor. The primary differences between the desktop and "mobile" view are:

Viewing the Class Source

The class source can be viewed by clicking on the class name at the top of an API doc page. The source for class members can be viewed by clicking on the "view source" link on the right-hand side of the member row.

Ext JS 7.3.0 - Modern Toolkit

Summary

This class is used as a set of methods that are applied to the prototype of a Ext.data.Model to decorate it with a Node API. This means that models used in conjunction with a tree will have all of the tree related methods available on the model. In general, this class will not be used directly by the developer.

This class also creates extra fields on the model, if they do not exist, to help maintain the tree state and UI. These fields are documented as config options.

The data fields used to render a tree node are: text, leaf, children, and expanded. Once a node is loaded to the tree store you can use get() to fetch the value of a given field name (provided there is not a convenience accessor on the Node for that field).

The following configs have methods used to set the value / state of the node at runtime:

children / leaf

expanded

The remaining configs may be set using set().

node.set('text', 'Changed Text'); // example showing how to change the node label

The qtip, qtitle, and qshowDelay use QuickTips and requires initializing Ext.tip.QuickTipManager unless the application is created using Ext#method-application.

Ext.tip.QuickTipManager.init();

For additional information and examples see the description for Ext.tree.Panel.

configs

Optional Configs

allowDrag : Boolean

Set to false to deny dragging of this node.

Applicable when using the TreeViewDragDrop plugin.

Defaults to:

true

allowDrop : Boolean

Set to false to deny dropping on this node.

Applicable when using the TreeViewDragDrop plugin.

Defaults to:

true

checked : Boolean

Set to true or false to show a checkbox alongside this node.

To fetch an array of checked nodes use getChecked().

Defaults to:

null

children : Ext.data.NodeInterface[]

Array of child nodes.

Note: By default the child nodes root is children, but can be set using the reader rootProperty config on the Ext.data.TreeStore proxy.

cls : String

CSS class to apply to this node.

depth : Number
private pri

The number of parents this node has. A root node has depth 0, a child of it depth 1, and so on...

See getDepth.

getDepth Number

Returns depth of this node (the root node has a depth of 0)

Returns

:Number

expandable : Boolean

False to prevent expanding/collapsing of this node.

See also: isExpandable.

Defaults to:

true

expanded : Boolean

True if the node is expanded.

When the tree is asynchronously remote loaded, expanding a collapsed node loads the children of that node (if the node has not already been loaded previously).

See also: isExpanded.

Defaults to:

false

glyph : Number / String

A numeric unicode character code to use as the icon. The default font-family for glyphs can be set globally using glyphFontFamily application config or the Ext.setGlyphFontFamily() method. It is initially set to 'Pictos'.

The following shows how to set the glyph using the font icons provided in the SDK (assuming the font-family has been configured globally):

// assumes the glyphFontFamily is "Pictos"
glyph: 'x48'       // the "home" icon (H character)

// assumes the glyphFontFamily is "Pictos"
glyph: 72          // The "home" icon (H character)

// assumes the glyphFontFamily is "Pictos"
glyph: 'H'         // the "home" icon

Alternatively, this config option accepts a string with the charCode and font-family separated by the @ symbol.

// using Font Awesome
glyph: 'xf015@FontAwesome'     // the "home" icon

// using Pictos
glyph: 'H@Pictos'              // the "home" icon

Depending on the theme you're using, you may need include the font icon packages in your application in order to use the icons included in the SDK. For more information see:

Available since: 6.2.0

href : String

A URL for a link that's created when this config is specified.

See also hrefTarget.

hrefTarget : String

Target for link. Only applicable when href is also specified.

icon : String

Path to an image to use as an icon.

For instructions on how you can use icon fonts including those distributed in the SDK see iconCls.

Defaults to:

null

iconCls : String

One or more space separated CSS classes to be applied to the icon element. The CSS rule(s) applied should specify a background image to be used as the icon.

An example of specifying a custom icon class would be something like:

// specify the property in the config for the class:
iconCls: 'my-home-icon'

// css rule specifying the background image to be used as the icon image:
.my-home-icon {
    background-image: url(../images/my-home-icon.gif) !important;
}

In addition to specifying your own classes, you can use the font icons provided in the SDK using the following syntax:

// using Font Awesome
iconCls: 'x-fa fa-home'

// using Pictos
iconCls: 'pictos pictos-home'

Depending on the theme you're using, you may need include the font icon packages in your application in order to use the icons included in the SDK. For more information see:

properties

Instance Properties

$className
private pri

Defaults to:

'Ext.Base'

$configPrefixed : Boolean
private pri

The value true causes config values to be stored on instances using a property name prefixed with an underscore ("_") character. A value of false stores config values as properties using their exact name (no prefix).

Defaults to:

true

Available since: 5.0.0

$configStrict : Boolean
private pri

The value true instructs the initConfig method to only honor values for properties declared in the config block of a class. When false, properties that are not declared in a config block will be placed on the instance.

Defaults to:

true

Available since: 5.0.0

$configTransforms : Object / Array
private pri

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:

{}

childNodes : Ext.data.NodeInterface[]

An array of this nodes children. Array will be empty if this node has no children.

clearPropertiesOnDestroy : Boolean / "async"
protected pro

Setting this property to false will prevent nulling object references on a Class instance after destruction. Setting this to "async" will delay the clearing for approx 50ms.

Defaults to:

true

Available since: 6.2.0

clearPrototypeOnDestroy : Boolean
private pri

Setting this property to true will result in setting the object's prototype to null after the destruction sequence is fully completed. After that, most attempts at calling methods on the object instance will result in "method not defined" exception. This can be very helpful with tracking down otherwise hard to find bugs like runaway Ajax requests, timed functions not cleared on destruction, etc.

Note that this option can only work in browsers that support Object.setPrototypeOf method, and is only available in debugging mode.

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 6.2.0

destroyed : Boolean

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

Defaults to:

false

firstChild : Ext.data.NodeInterface

A reference to this node's first child node. null if this node has no children.

isConfiguring : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

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

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isFirstInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

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

Defaults to:

false

Available since: 5.0.0

isInstance : Boolean
readonly ro protected pro

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

Defaults to:

true

isNode : Boolean

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

Defaults to:

true

lastChild : Ext.data.NodeInterface

A reference to this node's last child node. null if this node has no children.

nextSibling : Ext.data.NodeInterface

A reference to this node's next sibling node. null if this node does not have a next sibling.

parentNode : Ext.data.NodeInterface

A reference to this node's parent node. null if this node is the root node.

previousSibling : Ext.data.NodeInterface

A reference to this node's previous sibling node. null if this node does not have a previous sibling.

self : Ext.Class
protected pro

Get the reference to the current class from which this object was instantiated. Unlike Ext.Base#statics, this.self is scope-dependent and it's meant to be used for dynamic inheritance. See Ext.Base#statics for a detailed comparison

Ext.define('My.Cat', {
    statics: {
        speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
    },

    constructor: function() {
        alert(this.self.speciesName); // dependent on 'this'
    },

    clone: function() {
        return new this.self();
    }
});


Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
    extend: 'My.Cat',
    statics: {
        speciesName: 'Snow Leopard' // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
    }
});

var cat = new My.Cat();                     // alerts 'Cat'
var snowLeopard = new My.SnowLeopard();     // alerts 'Snow Leopard'

var clone = snowLeopard.clone();
alert(Ext.getClassName(clone));             // alerts 'My.SnowLeopard'

methods

Instance Methods

addDeprecations ( deprecations )
private pri

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

Parameters

deprecations :  Object

appendChild ( node, [suppressEvents], [commit] ) : Ext.data.NodeInterface

Inserts node(s) as the last child node of this node.

If the node was previously a child node of another parent node, it will be removed from that node first.

Parameters

node :  Ext.data.NodeInterface/Ext.data.NodeInterface[]/Object

The node or Array of nodes to append

suppressEvents :  Boolean (optional)

True to suppress firing of events.

Defaults to: false

commit :  Boolean (optional)

Defaults to: false

Returns

:Ext.data.NodeInterface

The appended node if single append, or null if an array was passed

bubble ( fn, [scope], [args] )

Bubbles up the tree from this node, calling the specified function with each node. The arguments to the function will be the args provided or the current node. If the function returns false at any point, the bubble is stopped.

Parameters

fn :  Function

The function to call

scope :  Object (optional)

The scope (this reference) in which the function is executed. Defaults to the current Node.

args :  Array (optional)

The args to call the function with. Defaults to passing the current Node.

callOverridden ( args ) : Object
deprecated dep protected pro

Call the original method that was previously overridden with Ext.Base#override

Ext.define('My.Cat', {
    constructor: function() {
        alert("I'm a cat!");
    }
});

My.Cat.override({
    constructor: function() {
        alert("I'm going to be a cat!");

        this.callOverridden();

        alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
    }
});

var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
                          // alerts "I'm a cat!"
                          // alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

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

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the overridden method

Deprecated since version 4.1.0
Use method-callParent instead.

callParent ( args ) : Object
protected pro

Call the "parent" method of the current method. That is the method previously overridden by derivation or by an override (see Ext#define).

 Ext.define('My.Base', {
     constructor: function(x) {
         this.x = x;
     },

     statics: {
         method: function(x) {
             return x;
         }
     }
 });

 Ext.define('My.Derived', {
     extend: 'My.Base',

     constructor: function() {
         this.callParent([21]);
     }
 });

 var obj = new My.Derived();

 alert(obj.x);  // alerts 21

This can be used with an override as follows:

 Ext.define('My.DerivedOverride', {
     override: 'My.Derived',

     constructor: function(x) {
         this.callParent([x*2]); // calls original My.Derived constructor
     }
 });

 var obj = new My.Derived();

 alert(obj.x);  // now alerts 42

This also works with static and private methods.

 Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
     extend: 'My.Base',

     // privates: {
     statics: {
         method: function(x) {
             return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Base.method
         }
     }
 });

 alert(My.Base.method(10));     // alerts 10
 alert(My.Derived2.method(10)); // alerts 20

Lastly, it also works with overridden static methods.

 Ext.define('My.Derived2Override', {
     override: 'My.Derived2',

     // privates: {
     statics: {
         method: function(x) {
             return this.callParent([x*2]); // calls My.Derived2.method
         }
     }
 });

 alert(My.Derived2.method(10); // now alerts 40

To override a method and replace it and also call the superclass method, use method-callSuper. This is often done to patch a method to fix a bug.

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

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

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the parent method

callSuper ( args ) : Object
protected pro

This method is used by an override to call the superclass method but bypass any overridden method. This is often done to "patch" a method that contains a bug but for whatever reason cannot be fixed directly.

Consider:

 Ext.define('Ext.some.Class', {
     method: function() {
         console.log('Good');
     }
 });

 Ext.define('Ext.some.DerivedClass', {
     extend: 'Ext.some.Class',

     method: function() {
         console.log('Bad');

         // ... logic but with a bug ...

         this.callParent();
     }
 });

To patch the bug in Ext.some.DerivedClass.method, the typical solution is to create an override:

 Ext.define('App.patches.DerivedClass', {
     override: 'Ext.some.DerivedClass',

     method: function() {
         console.log('Fixed');

         // ... logic but with bug fixed ...

         this.callSuper();
     }
 });

The patch method cannot use method-callParent to call the superclass method since that would call the overridden method containing the bug. In other words, the above patch would only produce "Fixed" then "Good" in the console log, whereas, using callParent would produce "Fixed" then "Bad" then "Good".

Parameters

args :  Array/Arguments

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

Returns

:Object

Returns the result of calling the superclass method

cascade ( spec, [scope], [args], [after] )

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'.

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

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).
