override initComponent() method - extjs4

I want to override initComponent( ) method of Ext.grid.column.Column class. But some how it executes all those lines. Basically I want to remove listeners from element and wants to assign it to other Element.
Ext.override(Ext.grid.column.Column,
{
initComponent: function(){
.
. //All lines are as it is till me.callParents();
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
// Initialize as a HeaderContainer
me.callParent(arguments);
me.on({ <<<------------------------------Do not need these.
element: 'el',
click: me.onElClick,
dblclick: me.onElDblClick,
scope: me
});
me.on({ <<<------------------------------Do not need these.
element: 'titleEl',
mouseenter: me.onTitleMouseOver,
mouseleave: me.onTitleMouseOut,
scope: me
});
}
}
I do not want to attach listeners to "el" and "titleEl" so i remove those lines. But some how it still add listeners.
I also write me.un() in AfterRender function. even tho it adds listener to "El" and "titleEl"
can anybody please guide me where i am wrong?????

Instead of using Ext.override, use Ext.define to create a sub-class. When you redefine the initComponent method, you can use this.superclass.superclass.initComponent.call to skip over Ext.grid.column.Column#initComponent.
Ext.define('MyApp.grid.column.Column', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.column.Column',
alias: 'widget.mycolumn',
initComponent: function(){
// Pre-initComponent from column class here
// Ext.grid.header.Container#initComponent
this.superclass.superclass.initComponent.call(this);
// Do optional stuff here
}
});
Then when you create your new columns, use xtype: 'mycolumn' to use your own implementation while still being able to use regular columns as needed.

Cytoscape : multiple instances and no graph display

I want to display several instances of cytoscape in a single page, in a time sequence: first one set of nodes are displayed on the graph, the user must interact with it (create edges), then he moves to a second graph (#cy0 is :hidden and #cy1 is :visible).
For code optimisation sake I wish to use the same initialisation function to display different successive sets of nodes. My initialisation function works fine in the first instance, but the graph is not created (cy.initrender() == false) in the second session. A command is probably missing, I tested a couple, but I don't see what to do.
Here is my code:
//elements
$(function(){ // on dom ready
var elesJson = {
nodes: [
{ data: { id: 'S', faveShape: 'rectangle',} }
...
],
edges: [
{ data: { id: 'loan', source: 'B', target: 'U' } },
...
],
};
// instance index
var indexLevel=0;
// cy initialisation
$("#cy"+indexLevel).cytoscape({
style: cytoscape.stylesheet()...
elements: elesJson,
ready: function(){
window.cy = this;});
// jQuery command to move from one instance to the other.
$('#next').click(function(){
$("#cy"+indexLevel).css("visibility","hidden");
indexLevel++;
$("#cy"+indexLevel).css("visibility","visible");
cy.load(elesJson);
cy.ready();
console.log(cy.initrender());
});
I am able to generate my node.collection, it is not empty, but the canvas element is not created and/or displayed within the #cy div, and cy.initrender() returns "false".
Any solution to this?
As noted in the docs for init, you must call cy.resize() if you play around with the cy div's display or position: http://js.cytoscape.org/#core/initialisation
cy.resize() : http://js.cytoscape.org/#core/viewport-manipulation/cy.resize
Edit: You may want to use z-index instead to simplify things...

Ext JS 4: Getters and setters in view

I've been thinking about this problem for a while, and I can't seem to come up with a reasonable solution. What I would like to do is create getters/setters for a textfield/its value in my view. I realize that the preferred Ext JS way is using a reference within the controller and getting it that way, but that doesn't feel very object-oriented to me. I'd also have to wrap these getters and setters because I want to output a message if the getter returns undefined. What I'd like to do is create my own getters/setters or somehow override the default getters/setters. Here are some ways I was thinking of accomplishing this.
I was thinking I could use the config {}, but that appears to only work for variables I want to define. I then was thinking of using an id somehow, but the community seems split on whether that's a good practice or not. Which leads to my current solution... wrapping. Here's my code:
LoginWindow
Ext.define('MyApp.view.LoginWindow', {
extend: 'Ext.window.Window',
alias: 'widget.loginWindow',
autoShow: true,
closable: false,
border: 0,
plain: true,
allowBlank: false,
title: "Enter your username",
modal: true,
config: {
buttons: [{
text: "Ok"
}],
items: [{
xtype: 'textfield',
fieldLabel: 'Username',
id: 'loginUserInput',
name: 'loginUserInput',
msgTarget: 'under',
validator: function(value) {
if (Ext.isEmpty(value)) {
return "You need to enter a username.";
}
return true;
}
}]
},
constructor: function(config) {
this.callParent(config);
},
getButton: function() {
console.log('here');
}
});
MyController
Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Chat', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
requires: [
'Views.ChatModule.view.LoginWindow'
],
refs: [{
ref: 'loginWindow',
selector: 'loginWindow',
xtype: 'loginWindow',
autoCreate: true
}, {
ref: 'loginUserInput',
selector: '#loginUserInput'
}],
init: function() {
// The events controller oversees
this.control({
'loginWindow button[text="Ok"]': {
'click': this.onSubmitLoginWindow
}
});
},
getLoginUserInputValue: function() {
var loginUserInput = this.getLoginUserInput();
if (loginUserInput) {
var username = loginUserInput.getValue();
if (username) {
console.log(username);
} else {
console.warn("username is undefined");
}
}
console.warn("loginUserInput is undefined");
},
onSubmitLoginWindow: function(button, event, eOpts) {
this.getLoginUserInputValue();
}
});
This works, and I realize it's a very nit-picky thing, but it just doesn't feel right to have the getter in the controller. I feel like it'd be more object-oriented if it was in the Window. However, if I put it in the Window, I believe my only option is to lean on ids or manually create the textfield in the Window's initComponent--which would involve saving off a reference of the textfield in there, but that seems a bit inefficient... as I would have to make a call to doLayout as well.
Just to reiterate, I'd love to have the getters/setters in the Window, and I'm looking for a quick way to reference it, similar to how the controller references objects. I believe the main answer will be to use ids and making a call to Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#loginUserInput') in the Window, but I'd like to know if there were any better approaches out there... like overriding the auto generated getters/setters or adding a simple getter/setter for an input's value.
Cross-post from the Sencha forums.
Edit
I guess I was a bit unclear with what I want. As a more general statement, instead of jamming all things related to my view in the controller, I'd like to store it all in the view itself, which includes things like getters/setters. One of these getters/setters just so happens to be the loginUserInput getter.
Using a model is an interesting idea, but I feel like that would be a whole lot of overhead for singleton values. I'm basically looking for something like Java's setters/getters in the LoginWindow view... and hopefully something as simple as (or close to) Java's.
The idea of including (encapsulating) it in the view makes the controller a bit cleaner, and if I delete the view, I'm deleting its functions as well, so I don't have to go hunting for the functions in the controller... all I have to worry about is removing the references (which should be minimal).
I think that the "OO" way that you're looking is to work with a Ext.data.Model for your form. If you look at the Ext.form.Basic you have methods to manipulate a model (called record) and also get the object with the values of your view. So you need:
When you create your form, use loadRecord() to bind your form to a Model.
At any time you need, use getValues() to retrieve the values of your form fields.
When submiting your form, use getRecord() and getValues() to sync your record.
Ext.define('MyApp.model.Login',{
fields : [{
name: 'username',
type: 'string'
},{
name: 'password',
type: 'string'
}]
});
Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Login',{
...
refs : [{
selector: 'window form',
ref: 'formPanel'
}],
...
openForm : function() {
//load your form and then bind the new record
var formPanel = this.getFormPanel(), //Ext.form.Panel
form = formPanel.getForm(); //Ext.form.Basic
form.loadRecord(Ext.create('MyApp.model.Login'));
},
save : function() {
//get the values in the view
var form = this.getFormPanel().getForm(),
vals = form.getValues(),
record = form.getRecord();
console.log(vals); //see the object representation of your view here
record.set(vals); //update your model
//do whatever you need with your model
}
...
});
This is an good example when you need to save the form data. In the login I think you can work directly with getValues() without binding it to a Ext.data.Model.
I am not quite certain what problem you are trying to solve to be honest with you.
If you do not like controllers listening to buttons within your window, you can have button handlers witin your view definition fire custom events that controllers can listen on. Use fireEvent method. And by the way initConfig is a recommended way to setup your views. You can break it up into methods if you wish, 'this' reference is available and is the View component being instantiated.
If you need to find inner components within the View there are many methods available from up /down to nextSibling and query .
For Components:
• Ext.getCmp(id)
• Ext.ComponentQuery.query()
• up()
• down()
• nextSibling()
• previousSibling()
• child()
• previousNode()
plus various find.. Methods
EDIT
I think I understood what you mean by getter and setters. Ext forms have the fields finders to make it easy to get and set data to individual fields. See these SO questions: Best way to access adjacent components / fields and EXT.JS getting a list of items from a fieldset
Also like Sergio said there is getRecord getValues and setRecord methods on the form to deal with data binding. Thats it.
EDIT2
The best starting point guide that shows clear and claen MVC patterns as well as form handling. http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.1.3/#!/guide/application_architecture
My thoughts are something like this:
...
items: [],
constructor: function(config) {
this.loginUserInput = Ext.create('Ext.form.field.Text', {
fieldLabel: 'Username',
id: 'loginUserInput',
name: 'loginUserInput',
msgTarget: 'under',
validator: function(value) {
if (Ext.isEmpty(value)) {
return "You need to enter a username.";
}
return true;
}
});
this.items.push(this.loginUserInput);
this.callParent(config);
},
getLoginUserInput: function() {
var loginUserInput = this.loginUserInput;
if (!loginUserInput) {
console.warn("LoginWindow::getLoginUserInput: loginUserInput is undefined");
}
return loginUserInput;
}
So instead of letting Ext do its magic, I am now instantiating the object on my own, which then allows me to store away a reference of it, so I can easily access it in my getter. I just wonder if this is creating any sort of performance hit. It doesn't seem like it'd be that much worse... it actually seems like it'd be a bit better because I'm not referencing this object by its ID, and I don't have to go searching for it when I need it.

Custom xtypes as a cell in ext.listview

I am using sencha touch 2 and not getting help inside sencha forum, so I hope you guys can help me.
I want to create a list with custom items. In this custom item i want to have a horizontal scrollable listview with buttons as items.
I tried to do it component.DataItem but it does no work for me.
I tried also to add an custom xtype als an item in a list, but this does not work.
I think this is a simple task but sencha touch makes it a challenge for me.
So please help me and show me, how can I get a view like shown in this picture.
Instead of a standard list you are going to want to use Component DataView. Essentially, you are going to need to first define an Ext.dataview.component.DataItem, which is then implemented into the DataView. Below is a simple example of a buttons in a DataView as referenced from the DataView guide: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/dataview
First create the DataItem:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.DataItemButton', {
extend: 'Ext.dataview.component.DataItem',
requires: ['Ext.Button'],
xtype: 'dataitembutton',
config: {
nameButton: true,
dataMap: {
getNameButton: {
setText: 'name'
}
}
},
applyNameButton: function(config) {
return Ext.factory(config, Ext.Button, this.getNameButton());
},
updateNameButton: function(newNameButton, oldNameButton) {
if (oldNameButton) {
this.remove(oldNameButton);
}
if (newNameButton) {
this.add(newNameButton);
}
}
});
We must extend Ext.dataview.component.DataItem for each item. This is an abstract class which handles the record handling for each item.
Below the extend we require Ext.Button. This is simply because we are going to insert a button inside our item component.
We then specify the xtype for this item component.
Inside our config block we define nameButton. This is a custom configuration we add to this component which will be transformed into a button by the class system. We set it to true by default, but this could also be a configuration block. This configuration will automatically generate getters and setters for our nameButton.
Next we define the dataMap. The dataMap is a map between the data of a record and this view. The getNameButton is the getter for the instance you want to update; so in this case we want to get the nameButton configuration of this component. Then inside that block we give it the setter for that instance; in this case being setText and give it the field of the record we are passing. So, once this item component gets a record it will get the nameButton and then call setText with the name value of the record.
Then we define the apply method for our nameButton. The apply method uses Ext.factory to transform the configuration passed into an instance of Ext.Button. That instance is then returned, which will then cause updateNameButton to be called. The updateNameButton method simply removes the old nameButton instance if it exists, and adds the new nameButton instance if it exists.
Now create the DataView:
Ext.create('Ext.DataView', {
fullscreen: true,
store: {
fields: ['name', 'age'],
data: [
{name: 'Jamie Avins', age: 100},
{name: 'Rob Dougan', age: 21},
{name: 'Tommy Maintz', age: 24},
{name: 'Jacky Nguyen', age: 24},
{name: 'Ed Spencer', age: 26}
]
},
useComponents: true,
defaultType: 'dataitembutton'
});
In your case, rather than using a button for the DataItem, you'll want to use a horizontal scrolling list. Here is an example that I found from this answer: Horizontal scrolling list
var list = Ext.create('Ext.DataView',{
store: store,
itemTpl: new Ext.XTemplate('<img src="{icon}" />'),
inline: { wrap: false },
scrollable: {
direction: 'horizontal',
directionLock: true
}
});
Note that you will probably have to use components in the second dataview as well in order to achieve your buttons with image

Extjs4 listener for window

In my application i have many windows and panels and im using custom scrollbars. So for each window or panel i need to specify afterlayout listener to get the custom scroll bar
listeners:{
afterlayout: function(c){
fleXenv.fleXcrollMain(c.body.id);
}
}
So what im looking for is i need to add this listener globally for windows and panels so that by adding this code one time should effect on all windows or panels.
Is there any way to do this
It seems that your custom scrollbar is used in all Windows and Panels of your application. Hence there is nothing wrong with extending the core ExtJs classes IMHO.
Implement it as a 'feature' that is enabled by default but - for the rare cases where you don't want the scrollbar - can be disabled.
Ext.define('patch.Ext.panel.Panel-scrollbar', {
override: 'Ext.panel.Panel',
enableCustomScrollbar: true,
afterLayout: function() {
this.fixScrollbar();
this.callParent(arguments);
},
fixScrollbar: function() {
if(this.enableCustomScrollbar) {
// your code
}
}
});
Load with Ext.require('patch.Ext.panel.Panel-scrollbar') or add it as dependency (requires) to your application definition.
Ext.window.Window extends from Ext.panel.Panel, hence it will inherit the behavior.
You can make your own panel and window extending ExtJS default components. You can define desired listener, set up xtypes and then use these modified components in your application.
Another solution would be to override existing Ext.panel.Panel and Ext.window.Window with Ext.override
IMHO, I think the best way to do this is to define your personal Window/Panel class. Yes, one way is to use Ext.override function but I don't think it's a good idea.
I suggest you to do this:
Ext.define ('MyCustomWindow', {
extend: 'Ext.window.Window' ,
listeners: {
afterlayout: function (win) {
fleXenv.fleXcrollMain (win.body.id);
}
}
}
Ext.define ('MyCustomPanel', {
extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel' ,
listeners: {
afterlayout: function (panel) {
fleXenv.fleXcrollMain (panel.body.id);
}
}
}
Now, you can instantiate MyCustomWindow and MyCustomPanel, leaving Ext.window.Window and Ext.panel.Panel unchanged.
Another way is to use WindowManager and PanelManager (this one defined by yourself):
Ext.WindowManager.register (window1);
Ext.WindowManager.register (window2);
Ext.WindowManager.register (window3);
Ext.WindowManager.each (function (win) {
win.on ('afterlayout', function (window) {
fleXenv.fleXcrollMain (window.body.id);
});
});
In this case, first you have to instantiate your windows and panels, register them to their managers and then invoke the each function as I did in the example above.

ExtJs 4... How to extend Extjs 4 components?

can somebody help me with how to extend extjs components using extjs version 4. I am looking for a proper syntax for the same. please help..!!
Following is an example code of extending textfield in ExtJS 4.
Other then using the existing configs and methods, this extended component also has a new config property created and a new method created & associated with an event.
The purpose of component is simple that it displays the label in red color if the value is mandatory, modifies the background color of the field if its readOnly and also changes the background color of the field when focussed.
The code is properly commented. Hope it helps.
Ext.define('Ext.pnc.Textfield', {
extend: 'Ext.form.field.Text',//Extending the TextField
alias: 'widget.pnctextfield',//Defining the xtype
config:{
focusCls:'focusClassFieldPnC',//Providing value for existing config property.
testConfig:'testConfigValue'//Creating a new config. Accessor functions will be created for this one by ExtJS engine
},
constructor:function(cnfg){
this.callParent(arguments);//Calling the parent class constructor
this.initConfig(cnfg);//Initializing the component
this.on('beforerender',this.beforeRender);//Associating a new defined method with an event
},
//Defining a method below and associating this with an event in the constructor above
beforeRender:function(){
if(!this.allowBlank){
this.labelStyle = 'color:#FF0000';
}
if(this.readOnly){
this.fieldCls = 'readOnlyClass';
}
},
//Over-riding a function which already exists in parent class. Note that this has not been associated with any event in constructor as it already defined in parent class
afterRender:function(){
console.log('after render function');
this.callParent();//Calling the parent class method. This can be omitted if not required and is not a must
}
});
.readOnlyClass{
background:#FF0000 !important
}
.focusClassFieldPnC{
background:#00ff00 !important
}
Ext.define('myApp.Grid', {
extend: 'Ext.Grid',
alias: 'widget.mygrid'
....
....
}
now you can use xtype:'mygrid'
Ext.define('BS.view.MyGrid' , {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
alias: 'widget.my-grid',
// Non-complex config types (booleans, integers, strings) go here
width: 1000,
autoHeight: true
initComponent: function() {
Ext.apply(this, {
// complex configs (objects / arrays) go here
columns: colModel,
});
this.callParent(arguments);
}
});
why not see the src of extjs4's components such as Grid,Table ...
and here are docs:
http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#/guide/components <== important
http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#/guide/class_system
Ext.define('My.custom.Component', {
extend: 'Ext.Component'
});
