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
indicates a member of type prop
- 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
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 implements focus management functionality in Widgets and Components
CSS class that will be added to focused component's focusClsEl, and removed when component blurs.
Defaults to:
'x-focused'
CSS class that will be added to focused component's focusClsEl, and removed when component blurs.
Defaults to:
'x-focused'
true if this currently focused element
is within this Component's or Container's hierarchy. This property is set separately
from hasFocus, and can be true when hasFocus is false.
Examples:
Text field with input element focused would be: focusable: true, hasFocus: true, containsFocus: true
Date field with drop-down picker currently focused would be: focusable: true, hasFocus: false, containsFocus: true
Form Panel with a child input field currently focused would be: focusable: false, hasFocus: false, containsFocus: true
See also hasFocus.
Defaults to:
false
true for keyboard interactive Components or Widgets, false otherwise.
For Containers, this property reflects interactiveness of the
Container itself, not its children. See isFocusable.
Note: It is not enough to set this property to true to make
a component keyboard interactive. You also need to make sure that
the component's focusEl is reachable via Tab key (tabbable).
See also tabIndex.
Defaults to:
false
The element that will have the focusCls applied when component's focusEl is focused.
The element that will have the focusCls applied when component's focusEl is focused.
The element that will be focused when focus method is called on this component. Usually this is the same element that receives focus via mouse clicks, taps, and pressing Tab key.
Defaults to:
'el'
The element that will be focused when focus method is called on this component. Usually this is the same element that receives focus via mouse clicks, taps, and pressing Tab key.
Defaults to:
'el'
true if this component's focusEl is focused.
See also containsFocus.
Defaults to:
false
Template method to do any Focusable related initialization that does not involve event listeners creation.
Defaults to:
Ext.emptyFn
Finds an alternate Component to focus if this Component is disabled while focused, or focused while disabled, or otherwise unable to focus.
In both cases, focus must not be lost to document.body, but must move to an intuitively connectible Component, either a sibling, or uncle or nephew.
This is both for the convenience of keyboard users, and also for when focus is tracked within a Component tree such as for ComboBoxes and their dropdowns.
For example, a ComboBox with a PagingToolbar in is BoundList. If the "Next Page" button is hit, the LoadMask shows and focuses, the next page is the last page, so the "Next Page" button is disabled. When the LoadMask hides, it attempt to focus the last focused Component which is the disabled "Next Page" button. In this situation, focus should move to a sibling within the PagingToolbar.
A closely related focusable Component to which focus can move.
Try to focus this component.
If this component is disabled or otherwise not focusable, a close relation will be targeted for focus instead to keep focus localized for keyboard users.
selectText : Boolean/Number[] (optional)
If applicable, true to also select all the text
in this component, or an array consisting of start and end (defaults to start)
position of selection.
true if focus target was found and focusing was attempted,
false if no focusing attempt was made.
Try to focus this component.
If this component is disabled or otherwise not focusable, a close relation will be targeted for focus instead to keep focus localized for keyboard users.
selectText : Boolean/Number[] (optional)
If applicable, true to also select all the text
in this component, or an array consisting of start and end (defaults to start)
position of selection.
true if focus target was found and focusing was attempted,
false if no focusing attempt was made.
Returns the element used to apply focus styling CSS class when Focusable's focusEl becomes focused. By default it is focusEl.
focusEl : Ext.dom.Element (optional)
Return focus styling element for the given focused element. This is used by Components implementing multiple focusable elements.
The focus styling element.
Returns the main focus holder element associated with this Focusable, i.e. the element that will be focused when Focusable's focus method is called. For most Focusables, this will be the focusEl.
Return the actual tabIndex for this Focusable.
tabIndex attribute value
Return the actual tabIndex for this Focusable.
tabIndex attribute value
Sets up the focus listener on this Component's focusEl if it has one.
Form Components which must implicitly participate in tabbing order usually have
a naturally focusable element as their focusEl, and it is
the DOM event of that receiving focus which drives the Component's onFocus handling,
and the DOM event of it being blurred which drives the onBlur handling.
force : Object
Template method to do any event listener initialization for a Focusable. This generally happens after the focusEl is available.
force : Object
Determines if this Component is inside a Component tree which is destroyed, or is being destroyed.
true if this Component, or any ancestor is destroyed, or
is being destroyed.
Determine if this Focusable can receive focus at this time.
Note that Containers can be non-focusable themselves while delegating focus treatment to a child Component; see Container for more information.
deep : Boolean (optional)
Optionally determine if the container itself is focusable, or if container's focus is delegated to a child component and that child is focusable.
Defaults to: false
True if component is focusable, false if not.
Determine if this Focusable can receive focus at this time.
Note that Containers can be non-focusable themselves while delegating focus treatment to a child Component; see Container for more information.
deep : Boolean (optional)
Optionally determine if the container itself is focusable, or if container's focus is delegated to a child component and that child is focusable.
Defaults to: false
True if component is focusable, false if not.

toElement : HTMLElement
The element gaining focus.
fromElement : HTMLElement
The element losing focus.
toComponent : Ext.Component
The Component gaining focus.
fromComponent : Ext.Component
The Component losing focus.

true if the focus movement is backward in DOM order
This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.
This field is on the recieving end of a call from revertFocus.
It is called when focus is being pushed back into this Component from a Component that is focused and is being hidden or disabled.
We must focus the passed element.
Subclasses may perform some extra processing to prepare for refocusing.
target : Object
Set the tabIndex property for this Focusable. If the focusEl is available, set tabIndex attribute on it, too.
newTabIndex : Number
new tabIndex to set
Set the tabIndex property for this Focusable. If the focusEl is available, set tabIndex attribute on it, too.
newTabIndex : Number
new tabIndex to set
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).
