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

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.
Base class for bar highlighting
Setting this config option adds or removes data bindings for other configs.
For example, to bind the title config:
var panel = Ext.create({
xtype: 'panel',
bind: {
title: 'Hello {user.name}'
}
});
To dynamically add bindings:
panel.setBind({
title: 'Greetings {user.name}!'
});
To remove bindings:
panel.setBind({
title: null
});
The bind expressions are presented to Ext.app.ViewModel#bind. The
ViewModel instance is determined by lookupViewModel.
Note: If bind is passed as a string, it will use the Ext.Component#property-defaultBindProperty for the binding
Defaults to:
null
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
Defaults to:
null
A string alias, a configuration object or an instance of a ViewController for
this container. Sample usage:
Ext.define('MyApp.UserController', {
alias: 'controller.user'
});
Ext.define('UserContainer', {
extend: 'Ext.container.container',
controller: 'user'
});
// Or
Ext.define('UserContainer', {
extend: 'Ext.container.container',
controller: {
type: 'user',
someConfig: true
}
});
// Can also instance at runtime
var ctrl = new MyApp.UserController();
var view = new UserContainer({
controller: ctrl
});
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of controller
controller : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewController
If true, this component will be the default scope (this pointer) for events
specified with string names so that the scope can be dynamically resolved. The
component will automatically become the defaultListenerScope if a
controller is specified.
See the introductory docs for Ext.container.Container for some sample usages.
NOTE: This value can only be reliably set at construction time. Setting it after that time may not correctly rewire all of the potentially effected listeners.
Defaults to:
false
Sets the value of defaultListenerScope
defaultListenerScope : Boolean
Config options defined within eventedConfig will auto-generate the setter /
getter methods (see config for more information on
auto-generated getter / setter methods). Additionally, when an
eventedConfig is set it will also fire a before{cfg}change and {cfg}change
event when the value of the eventedConfig is changed from its originally
defined value.
Note: When creating a custom class you'll need to extend Ext.Evented
Example custom class:
Ext.define('MyApp.util.Test', {
extend: 'Ext.Evented',
eventedConfig: {
foo: null
}
});
In this example, the foo config will initially be null. Changing it via
setFoo will fire the beforefoochange event. The call to the setter can be
halted by returning false from a listener on the before event.
var test = Ext.create('MyApp.util.Test', {
listeners: {
beforefoochange: function (instance, newValue, oldValue) {
return newValue !== 'bar';
},
foochange: function (instance, newValue, oldValue) {
console.log('foo changed to:', newValue);
}
}
});
test.setFoo('bar');
The before event handler can be used to validate changes to foo.
Returning false will prevent the setter from changing the value of the
config. In the previous example the beforefoochange handler returns false
so foo will not be updated and foochange will not be fired.
test.setFoo('baz');
Setting foo to 'baz' will not be prevented by the before handler. Foo
will be set to the value: 'baz' and the foochange event will be fired.
The hex value for fill color in graphs which fill areas (Ext.sparkline.Line).
Defaults to:
#def
The height of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc.
By default, if this is not explicitly set, this Component's element will simply have its own natural size.
If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.
Defaults to:
null
The hex value for the highlight color to use when mouseing over a graph segment.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of highlightColor
highlightColor : String
How much to lighten the highlight color by when mouseing over a graph segment.
Defaults to:
1.4
Sets the value of highlightLighten
highlightLighten : Number
The hex value for line colors in graphs which display lines (Ext.sparkline.Box, Ext.sparkline.Discrete).
Defaults to:
#157fcc
A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This
should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching
multiple handlers at once.
See the Event guide for more
Note: It is bad practice to specify a listener's config when you are defining a class using Ext.define().
Instead, only specify listeners when you are instantiating your class with Ext.create().
Defaults to:
null
One or more names of config properties that this component should publish to
its ViewModel. Some components override this and publish their most useful
configs by default.
This config uses the cfg-reference to determine the name of the data
object to place in the ViewModel. If reference is not set then this config
is ignored.
By using this config and cfg-reference you can bind configs between
components. For example:
...
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield', // component's name in the ViewModel
publishes: 'value' // value is not published by default
},{
...
},{
xtype: 'displayfield',
bind: 'You have entered "{somefield.value}"'
}]
...
Classes must provide this config as an Object:
Ext.define('App.foo.Bar', {
publishes: {
foo: true,
bar: true
}
});
This is required for the config system to properly merge values from derived classes.
For instances this value can be specified as a value as show above or an array or object as follows:
{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield',
publishes: [
'value',
'rawValue',
'dirty'
]
}
// This achieves the same result as the above array form.
{
xtype: 'textfield',
reference: 'somefield',
publishes: {
value: true,
rawValue: true,
dirty: true
}
}
Defaults to:
null
Available since: 5.0.0
Specifies a name for this component inside its component hierarchy. This name must be unique within its view or its Ext.app.ViewController. See the documentation in Ext.container.Container for more information about references.
Note: Valid identifiers start with a letter or underscore and are followed by zero or more additional letters, underscores or digits. References are case sensitive.
Defaults to:
null
If provided this creates a new Session instance for this component. If this
is a Container, this will then be inherited by all child components.
To create a new session you can specify true:
Ext.create({
xtype: 'viewport',
session: true,
items: [{
...
}]
});
Alternatively, a config object can be provided:
Ext.create({
xtype: 'viewport',
session: {
...
},
items: [{
...
}]
});
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of session
session : Boolean / Object / Ext.data.Session
An XTemplate used to display the value or values in a tooltip when hovering over a Sparkline.
The implemented subclases all define their own tipTpl, but it can be overridden.
Defaults to:
null
Null values will not have a tooltip displayed.
Defaults to:
true
Sets the value of tooltipSkipNull
tooltipSkipNull : Boolean
This object holds a map of config properties that will update their binding
as they are modified. For example, value is a key added by form fields. The
form of this config is the same as publishes.
This config is defined so that updaters are not created and added for all bound properties since most cannot be modified by the end-user and hence are not appropriate for two-way binding.
Defaults to:
null
The ViewModel is a data provider for this component and its children. The
data contained in the ViewModel is typically used by adding bind configs
to the components that want present or edit this data.
When set, the ViewModel is created and links to any inherited viewModel
instance from an ancestor container as the "parent". The ViewModel hierarchy,
once established, only supports creation or destruction of children. The
parent of a ViewModel cannot be changed on the fly.
If this is a root-level ViewModel, the data model connection is made to this
component's associated Ext.data.Session. This is
determined by calling getInheritedSession.
Defaults to:
null
Sets the value of viewModel
viewModel : String / Object / Ext.app.ViewModel
The width of this Component; must be a valid CSS length value, e.g: 300, 100px, 30%, etc.
By default, if this is not explicitly set, this Component's element will simply have its own natural size.
If set to auto, it will set the width to null meaning it will have its own natural size.
Defaults to:
null
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:
false
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
This property is used to determine the property of a bind config that is just
the value. For example, if defaultBindProperty="value", then this shorthand
bind config:
bind: '{name}'
Is equivalent to this object form:
bind: {
value: '{name}'
}
The defaultBindProperty is set to "value" for form fields and to "store" for
grids and trees.
Defaults to:
null
A configuration object for Ext.Element.create() that is used to create the Element template. Supports all the standard options of a Ext.Element.create() config and adds 2 additional options:
reference - this option specifies a name for Element references. These
references names become properties of the Widget instance and refer to Ext.Element
instances that were created using the template:
element: {
reference: 'element',
children: [{
reference: 'innerElement'
}]
}
After construction of a widget the reference elements are accessible as follows:
var foo = new FooWidget(),
innerEl = foo.innerEl; // an Ext.Element that wraps the innerElement
The reference attribute is optional, but all Widgets must have a 'element'
reference on some element within the template (usually the outermost one).
listeners - a standard listeners object as specified by Ext.mixin.Observable.
element: {
reference: 'element',
listeners: {
click: 'onClick'
},
children: [{
reference: 'innerElement',
listeners: {
click: 'onInnerClick'
}
}]
}
Since listeners cannot be attached without an Ext.Element reference the reference
property MUST be specified in order to use listeners.
The Widget instance is used as the scope for all listeners specified in this way,
so it is invalid to use the scope option in the listeners config since it will
always be overwritten using this.
Defaults to:
{
reference: 'element'
}
This object holds a key for any event that has a listener. The listener may be set directly on the instance, or on its class or a super class or on the Ext.app.EventBus. The values of this object are truthy (a non-zero number) and falsy (0 or undefined). They do not represent an exact count of listeners. The value for an event is truthy if the event must be fired and is falsy if there is no need to fire the event.
The intended use of this property is to avoid the expense of fireEvent calls when there are no listeners. This can be particularly helpful when one would otherwise have to call fireEvent hundreds or thousands of times. It is used like this:
if (this.hasListeners.foo) {
this.fireEvent('foo', this, arg1);
}
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
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
An array of child elements to use as the children of the main element in the element template. Only used if "children" are not specified explicitly in the element template.
Defaults to:
[]
Regular expression used for validating reference values.
Defaults to:
/^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i
Appends an after-event handler.
Same as addListener with order set to 'after'.
eventName : String/String[]/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
fn : Function/String
The method the event invokes.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope for fn.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Appends a before-event handler. Returning false from the handler will stop the event.
Same as addListener with order set to 'before'.
eventName : String/String[]/Object
The name of the event to listen for.
fn : Function/String
The method the event invokes.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope for fn.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
Ensures that the given property (if it is a Config System config) has a proper "updater" method on this instance to sync changes to the config.
Available since: 5.0.0
property : String
The name of the config property.
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
deprecations : Object
Adds an element reference to this Widget instance.
name : String
The name of the reference
domNode : HTMLElement
Reduces instantiation time for a Widget by lazily instantiating Ext.Element references the first time they are used. This optimization only works for elements with no listeners specified.
name : String
The name of the reference
domNode : HTMLElement
Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.
eventNames : Object/String...
Either an object with event names as properties with a value of true
or the first event name string if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters.
Deprecated since version 2.0
It's no longer needed to add events before firing.
Appends an event handler to this object. You can review the available handlers by looking at the 'events' section of the documentation for the component you are working with.
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener:
container.addListener('tap', this.handleTap, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
container.addListener({
tap : this.onTap,
swipe: this.onSwipe,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
container.addListener({
tap : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});
See the Events Guide for more.
eventName : String/String[]/Object
The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.
fn : Function/String
The method the event invokes. Will be called with arguments given to
fireEvent plus the options parameter described below.
scope : Object (optional)
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If
omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
scope : Object (optional)
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object
which fired the event.
delay : Number (optional)
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
single : Boolean (optional)
true to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
order : String (optional)
The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.
If you set an order of before and the event you are listening to is preventable, you can return false and it will stop the event.
Available options are before, current and after.
Defaults to:
current
buffer : Number (optional)
Causes the handler to be delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
element : String (optional)
If this observable is a Component, allows you to add a listener onto a element of the component using the element's reference.
Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
listeners: {
element: 'element',
tap: function() {
alert('element tap!');
}
}
});
In Sencha Touch, All components have the element reference, which is the outer
most element of the component. Ext.Container also has the innerElement
element which contains all children. In most cases element is adequate.
delegate : String (optional)
For Ext.dom.Element, a simple DOM selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target.
Sencha Touch Components can use Ext.ComponentQuery selectors to filter child Components.
// Create a container with a two children; a button and a toolbar
var container = Ext.create('Ext.Container', {
items: [
{
xtype: 'toolbar',
docked: 'top',
title: 'My Toolbar'
},
{
xtype: 'button',
text: 'My Button'
}
]
});
container.addListener({
// Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
delegate: 'button',
tap: function() {
alert('Button tapped!');
}
});
capture : Boolean
true to initiate capture which will fire the
listeners on the target Element before any descendant Elements. Normal events
start with the target element and propagate upward to ancestor elements, whereas
captured events propagate from the top of the DOM downward to descendant elements.
This option achieves the same result as the useCapture parameter in the standard
JavaScript addEventListener method.
order : String (optional)
The order of when the listener should be added into the listener queue.
Possible values are before, current and after.
Defaults to: 'current'
Adds listeners to any Observable object (or Element) which are automatically removed when this Component is destroyed.
object : Ext.mixin.Observable/HTMLElement
The item to which to add a listener/listeners.
eventName : Object/String
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
fn : Function (optional)
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
scope : Object (optional)
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the scope in which
the handler function is executed.
options : Object (optional)
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the
addListener options.
Deprecated since version 2.0
All listeners are now automatically managed where necessary. Simply use addListener.
Available since: 5.0.0
binds : String/Object
currentBindings : Object
Transforms a Session config to a proper instance.
Available since: 5.0.0
session : Object
Transforms a ViewModel config to a proper instance.
Available since: 5.0.0
viewModel : String/Object/Ext.app.ViewModel
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 methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
extend: 'My.Base',
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',
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 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 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
actionFn : Object
eventName : Object
fn : Object
scope : Object
options : Object
order : Object
Creates an event handling function which re-fires the event from this object as the passed event name.
newName : String
This method is called to cleanup an object and its resources. After calling this method, the object should not be used any further.
name : Object
fn : Object
scope : Object
options : Object
order : Object
Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if
present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class.
events : String/String[]
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and execute a function (action)
at the end if there are no listeners that return false.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Array
Arguments to pass to handers.
fn : Function
Action.
scope : Object
Scope of fn.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name, plus the options object passed
to addListener).
The first argument is the name of the event. Every other argument passed will be available when you listen for the event.
Firstly, we set up a listener for our new event.
this.on('myevent', function(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, options, e) {
console.log(arg1); // true
console.log(arg2); // 2
console.log(arg3); // { test: 'foo' }
console.log(arg4); // 14
console.log(options); // the options added when adding the listener
console.log(e); // the event object with information about the event

An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy by calling enableBubble.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Object...
Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
Returns false if any of the handlers return false.
Fires the specified event with the passed parameter list.
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component#getBubbleTarget) by calling enableBubble.
eventName : String
The name of the event to fire.
args : Object[]

returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.
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
The config property value.
A template method for modifying the element config before it is processed.
By default adds the result of this.getTemplate() as the children array of element if children were not specified in the original element config.
Typically this method should not need to be implemented in subclasses. Instead the
element property should be use to configure the element template for a
given Widget subclass.
the element config object
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
id
This method returns an object containing the inherited properties for this instance.
Available since: 5.0.0
inner : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to return inheritedStateInner instead
of the normal inheritedState object. This is only needed internally and should
not be passed by user code.
Defaults to: false
The inheritedState object containing inherited properties.
This method returns the value of a config property that may be inherited from some ancestor.
In some cases, a config may be explicitly set on a component with the intent of
only being presented to its children while that component should act upon the
inherited value (see referenceHolder for example). In these cases the skipThis
parameter should be specified as true.
Available since: 5.0.0
property : String
The name of the config property to return.
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
Pass true if the property should be ignored if
found on this instance. In other words, true means the property must be inherited
and not explicitly set on this instance.
Defaults to: false
The value of the requested property.
Returns the initial configuration passed to constructor when instantiating this class.
name : String (optional)
Name of the config option to return.
The full config object or a single config value
when name parameter specified.
Used by Ext.ComponentQuery, and the up method to find the owning Component in the linkage hierarchy.
By default this returns the Container which contains this Component.
This may be overridden by Component authors who implement ownership hierarchies which are not based upon ownerCt, such as BoundLists being owned by Fields or Menus being owned by Buttons.
Checks to see if this object has any listeners for a specified event
eventName : String
The name of the event to check for
True if the event is being listened for, else false
This method triggers the lazy configs and must be called when it is time to
fully boot up. The configs that must be initialized are: bind, publishes,
session, twoWayBindable and viewModel.
Available since: 5.0.0
Initialize configuration for this class. a typical example:
Ext.define('My.awesome.Class', {
// The default config
config: {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.initConfig(config);
}
});
var awesome = new My.awesome.Class({
name: 'Super Awesome'
});
alert(awesome.getName()); // 'Super Awesome'
instanceConfig : Object
this
Initializes the Element for this Widget instance. If this is the first time a Widget of this type has been instantiated the element config will be processed to create an Element. This Element is then cached on the prototype (see afterCachedConfig) so that future instances can obtain their element by simply cloning the Element that was cached by the first instance.
called for the first instance of this Widget to create an object that contains the listener configs for all of the element references keyed by reference name. The object is cached on the prototype and has the following shape:
_elementListeners: {
element: {
click: 'onClick'
scope: this
},
fooReference: {
tap: {
fn: someFunction
delay: 100
}
}
}
elementConfig : Object
This method is called to initialize the inheritedState objects for this instance.
This amounts to typically copying certain properties from the instance to the given
object.
Available since: 5.0.0
inheritedState : Object
The state object for this instance.
inheritedStateInner : Object (optional)
This object is only provided for containers.
This method marks the current inherited state as invalid. The next time a call is
made to getInherited the objects will be recreated and initialized.
Available since: 5.0.0
Tests whether this Widget matches a Ext.ComponentQuery selector string.
selector : String
The selector string to test against.
true if this Widget matches the selector.
Checks if all events, or a specific event, is suspended.
eventName : String (optional)
The name of the specific event to check
true if events are suspended
Tests whether or not this Component is of a specific xtype. This can test whether this Component is descended
from the xtype (default) or whether it is directly of the xtype specified (shallow = true).
**If using your own subclasses, be aware that a Component must register its own xtype
to participate in determination of inherited xtypes.__
For a list of all available xtypes, see the Ext.Component header.
Example usage:
var t = new Ext.field.Text();
var isText = t.isXType('textfield'); // true
var isBoxSubclass = t.isXType('field'); // true, descended from Ext.field.Field
var isBoxInstance = t.isXType('field', true); // false, not a direct Ext.field.Field instance
xtype : String
The xtype to check for this Component.
shallow : Boolean (optional)
false to check whether this Component is descended from the xtype (this is
the default), or true to check whether this Component is directly of the specified xtype.
true if this component descends from the specified xtype, false otherwise.
Adds a "destroyable" object to an internal list of objects that will be destroyed
when this instance is destroyed (via destroy).

to this view (if it exists).
Defaults to: false
The controller. null if no controller is found.
Gets the Controller or Component that is used as the reference holder for this view.
Available since: 5.0.0
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
false to return this as the reference holder if
this instance has set referenceHolder. Unlike getInheritedConfig this method
defaults to true because it is possible that a reference property set by the
owner of a component that is also a referenceHolder itself. In this case, the
reference connects not to this component but to the parent referenceHolder.
Defaults to: true
The reference holder.
Returns the Ext.data.Session for this instance. This property may come
from this instance's session or be inherited from this object's parent.
Available since: 5.0.0
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to ignore a session configured on
this instance and only consider an inherited session.
Defaults to: false
Returns the Ext.app.ViewModel for this instance. This property may come from this
this instance's viewModel or be inherited from this object's parent.
Available since: 5.0.0
skipThis : Boolean (optional)
Pass true to ignore a viewModel configured on
this instance and only consider an inherited view model.
Defaults to: false

to ensure two-way bindings (via bind) as well as any publishes are updated.
This method is cached on the cfg instance for re-use.
Available since: 5.0.0

Alias for addListener. Appends an event handler to this object. You can review the available handlers by looking at the 'events' section of the documentation for the component you are working with.
Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:
A delayed, one-time listener:
container.addListener('tap', this.handleTap, this, {
single: true,
delay: 100
});
The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:
container.addListener({
tap : this.onTap,
swipe: this.onSwipe,
scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
});
One can also specify options for each event handler separately:
container.addListener({
tap : { fn: this.onTap, scope: this, single: true },
swipe: { fn: button.onSwipe, scope: button }
});
See the Events Guide for more.
eventName : String/String[]/Object

The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If
omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
options : Object (optional)
An object containing handler configuration.

If you set an order of before and the event you are listening to is preventable, you can return false and it will stop the event.
Available options are before, current and after.
Defaults to:
current
buffer : Number (optional)
Causes the handler to be delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.

}
}
});

element which contains all children. In most cases element is adequate.
delegate : String (optional)
For Ext.dom.Element, a simple DOM selector to filter the target or look for a descendant of the target.
Sencha Touch Components can use Ext.ComponentQuery selectors to filter child Components.

var container = Ext.create('Ext.Container', {
items: [
{
xtype: 'toolbar',
docked: 'top',

},
{
xtype: 'button',

// Ext.Buttons have an xtype of 'button', so we use that are a selector for our delegate
delegate: 'button',
tap: function() {
alert('Button tapped!');
}
});
capture : Boolean
true to initiate capture which will fire the
listeners on the target Element before any descendant Elements. Normal events
start with the target element and propagate upward to ancestor elements, whereas
captured events propagate from the top of the DOM downward to descendant elements.
This option achieves the same result as the useCapture parameter in the standard
JavaScript addEventListener method.

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).
