The documentation for the ExtReact product diverges somewhat from the
documentation of other Sencha products. The sections below describe
documentation for all products except where indicated as unique to
ExtReact.
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.
ExtReact component classes list the configurable name prominently at the top of the API class doc followed by the fully-qualified class name.
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.
ExtReact component classes display
configuration options as props
ExtReact component classes do not list
properties as a dedicated member type, but rather as
read only props
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.
All ExtReact props are bindable
unless decorated as immutable
Immutable ExtReact props may not be use as a configurable prop when instantiating a component
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)
- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version
- Indicates a class member of type config
Or in the case of an ExtReact component class this

theme mixin
- Indicates that the class, member, or guide is new in the currently viewed version
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.
ExtReact component classes do not hoist the getter /
setter methods into the prop. All methods will be described in the
Methods section
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.
This mixin provides a common interface for objects that can be positioned, e.g. Ext.Component and Ext.dom.Element
Aligns the element with another element relative to the specified anchor points. If the other element is the document it aligns it to the viewport. The position parameter is optional, and can be specified in any one of the following formats:
t/r/b/l) followed by a percentage along that side. This describes a
point to align with a similar point in the target. So 't0-b0' would be
the same as 'tl-bl', 'l0-r50' would place the top left corner of this item
halfway down the right edge of the target item. This allows more flexibility
and also describes which two edges are considered adjacent when positioning a tip pointer.In addition to the anchor points, the position parameter also supports the "?" character. If "?" is passed at the end of the position string, the element will attempt to align as specified, but the position will be adjusted to constrain to the viewport if necessary. Note that the element being aligned might be swapped to align to a different position than that specified in order to enforce the viewport constraints. Following are all of the supported anchor positions:
Value Description
----- -----------------------------
tl The top left corner
t The center of the top edge
tr The top right corner
l The center of the left edge
c The center
r The center of the right edge
bl The bottom left corner
b The center of the bottom edge
br The bottom right corner
Example Usage:
// align el to other-el using the default positioning
// ("tl-bl", non-constrained)
el.alignTo("other-el");
// align the top left corner of el with the top right corner of other-el
// (constrained to viewport)
el.alignTo("other-el", "tl-tr?");
// align the bottom right corner of el with the center left edge of other-el
el.alignTo("other-el", "br-l?");
// align the center of el with the bottom left corner of other-el and
// adjust the x position by -6 pixels (and the y position by 0)
el.alignTo("other-el", "c-bl", [-6, 0]);
// align the 25% point on the bottom edge of this el
// with the 75% point on the top edge of other-el.
el.alignTo("other-el", 'b25-c75');

Defaults to: 'tl'
local : Boolean (optional)
True to get the local (element top/left-relative) anchor position instead of page coordinates
size : Object (optional)
An object containing the size to use for calculating anchor position {width: (target width), height: (target height)} (defaults to the element's current size)
[x, y] An array containing the element's x and y coordinates
Return an object defining the area of this Element which can be passed to setBox to set another Element's size/location to match this element.
contentBox : Boolean (optional)
If true a box for the content of the element is returned.
local : Boolean (optional)
If true the element's left and top relative to its
offsetParent are returned instead of page x/y.
An object in the format
Returns a region object that defines the client area of this element.
That is, the area within any scrollbars.
A Region containing "top, left, bottom, right" properties.
Returns the content region of this element for purposes of constraining or clipping floating children. That is the region within the borders and scrollbars, but not within the padding.
A Region containing "top, left, bottom, right" properties.
Returns the [X, Y] vector by which this Positionable's element must be translated to make a best
attempt to constrain within the passed constraint. Returns false if the element
does not need to be moved.
Priority is given to constraining the top and left within the constraint.
The constraint may either be an existing element into which the element is to be constrained, or a Ext.util.Region into which this element is to be constrained.
By default, any extra shadow around the element is not included in the constrain calculations - the edges
of the element are used as the element bounds. To constrain the shadow within the constrain region, set the
constrainShadow property on this element to true.

x : Number/Array
The x coordinate or an array containing [x, y]. A value of
null sets the left style to 'auto'
y : Number (optional)
The y coordinate, required if x is not an array. A value of
null sets the top style to 'auto'
this
Sets the local y coordinate of this element using CSS style. When used on an absolute positioned element this method is symmetrical with getLocalY, but may not be symmetrical when used on a relatively positioned element.
y : Number
The y coordinate. A value of null sets the top style to 'auto'.
this
Sets the X position of the DOM element based on page coordinates.
x : Number

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.
