ExtReact Docs Help

Introduction

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.

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.

ExtReact component classes list the configurable name prominently at the top of the API class doc followed by the fully-qualified class name.

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

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

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.

ExtReact component classes do not hoist the getter / setter methods into the prop. All methods will be described in the Methods section

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.

Summary

This mixin implements focus management functionality in Widgets and Components

No members found using the current filters

configs

Optional Configs

focusCls : String

CSS class that will be added to focused component's focusClsEl, and removed when component blurs.

Defaults to:

'x-focused'

focusCls : String

CSS class that will be added to focused component's focusClsEl, and removed when component blurs.

Defaults to:

'x-focused'

properties

Instance Properties

containsFocus : Boolean
readonly ro

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

focusable : Boolean
readonly ro

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

focusClsEl : Ext.dom.Element

The element that will have the focusCls applied when component's focusEl is focused.

focusClsEl : Ext.dom.Element

The element that will have the focusCls applied when component's focusEl is focused.

focusEl : Ext.dom.Element

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'

focusEl : Ext.dom.Element

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'

hasFocus : Boolean
readonly ro

true if this component's focusEl is focused. See also containsFocus.

Defaults to:

false

initFocusable
protected pro

Template method to do any Focusable related initialization that does not involve event listeners creation.

Defaults to:

Ext.emptyFn

methods

Instance Methods

findFocusTarget Ext.Component
private pri

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.

Returns

:Ext.Component

A closely related focusable Component to which focus can move.

focus ( [selectText] ) : Boolean

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.

Parameters

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.

Returns

:Boolean

true if focus target was found and focusing was attempted, false if no focusing attempt was made.

focus ( [selectText] ) : Boolean

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.

Parameters

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.

Returns

:Boolean

true if focus target was found and focusing was attempted, false if no focusing attempt was made.

getFocusClsEl ( [focusEl] ) : Ext.dom.Element
protected pro

Returns the element used to apply focus styling CSS class when Focusable's focusEl becomes focused. By default it is focusEl.

Parameters

focusEl :  Ext.dom.Element (optional)

Return focus styling element for the given focused element. This is used by Components implementing multiple focusable elements.

Returns

:Ext.dom.Element

The focus styling element.

getFocusEl Ext.dom.Element
protected pro

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.

Returns

:Ext.dom.Element

getTabIndex Number

Return the actual tabIndex for this Focusable.

Returns

:Number

tabIndex attribute value

getTabIndex Number

Return the actual tabIndex for this Focusable.

Returns

:Number

tabIndex attribute value

handleBlurEvent ( info )
private pri

Parameters

info :  Object

handleFocusEvent ( info )
private pri

Parameters

info :  Object

initFocusableElement ( force )
private pri

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.

Parameters

force :  Object

initFocusableEvents ( force )
protected pro

Template method to do any event listener initialization for a Focusable. This generally happens after the focusEl is available.

Parameters

force :  Object

isBlurring ( e ) : Boolean
private pri

Parameters

e :  Object

Returns

:Boolean

isDestructing Boolean
private pri

Determines if this Component is inside a Component tree which is destroyed, or is being destroyed.

Returns

:Boolean

true if this Component, or any ancestor is destroyed, or is being destroyed.

isFocusable ( [deep] ) : Boolean

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.

Parameters

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

Returns

:Boolean

True if component is focusable, false if not.

isFocusable ( [deep] ) : Boolean

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.

Parameters

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

Returns

:Boolean

True if component is focusable, false if not.

isFocusing ( e ) : Boolean
private pri

Parameters

e :  Object

Returns

:Boolean

onBlur ( e )
private pri

Parameters

e :  Object

onFocus ( e )
private pri

Parameters

e :  Object

onFocusEnter ( e )
template tpl protected pro

Called when focus enters this Component's hierarchy

Parameters

fromComponent :  Ext.Component

The Component losing focus.

backwards :  Boolean

true if the fromComponent is after the toComponent* in the DOM tree, indicating that the user usedSHIFT+TABto move focus. Note that settingtabIndexvalues to affect tabbing order can cause this to be incorrect. SettingtabIndex` values is not advised.

This is a template method. a hook into the functionality of this class. Feel free to override it in child classes.

onFocusLeave ( e )
template tpl protected pro

Called when focus exits from this Component's hierarchy

Parameters

e :  Ext.event.Event

event :  Ext.event.Event

template tpl protected pro

Called when focus moves within this Component's hierarchy

Parameters

info :  Object

event :  Ext.event.Event

The underlying Event object.

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.

backwards :  Boolean

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.

revertFocus
private pri

Returns focus to the Component or element found in the cached focusEnterEvent.

revertFocusTo ( target )
private pri

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.

Parameters

target :  Object

setTabIndex ( newTabIndex )

Set the tabIndex property for this Focusable. If the focusEl is available, set tabIndex attribute on it, too.

Parameters

newTabIndex :  Number

new tabIndex to set

setTabIndex ( newTabIndex )

Set the tabIndex property for this Focusable. If the focusEl is available, set tabIndex attribute on it, too.

Parameters

newTabIndex :  Number

new tabIndex to set

Static Methods

override ( members ) : Ext.Base
static sta

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).
