How to do I insert a form into a view? - sencha-touch

Question

I am new to sencha touch and I am having trouble loading a form into a view.
In my app.js I am loading the main view as such
Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('app.view.Main'));
My full app.js is as follows
Ext.application({
name: 'app',
requires: [
'Ext.MessageBox',
'Ext.form.FieldSet',
],
views: ['Main'],
launch: function() {
// Initialize the main view
Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('PlanPouch.view.Main'));
},
});
My main view is:
Ext.define("app.view.Main", {
extend: 'Ext.Container',
config:{
items:[
form
]
}
});
var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
fullscreen: true,
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'name',
label: 'Name'
},
{
xtype: 'emailfield',
name: 'email',
label: 'Email'
},
{
xtype: 'passwordfield',
name: 'password',
label: 'Password'
}
]
});
I took the form from the official documentation and the form doesn't load for some reason. So how can I add the form to my main view?

First let it solve by your approach. Make the following changes & it should work in your system (Running on mine):-
1.) In app.js
Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('app.view.Main'));
2). In Main.js
Ext.define("app.view.Main", {
extend: 'Ext.Container',
config:{
items:[
{
xtype: form
}
]
}
});
var form = Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
fullscreen: true,
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'name',
label: 'Name'
},
{
xtype: 'emailfield',
name: 'email',
label: 'Email'
},
{
xtype: 'passwordfield',
name: 'password',
label: 'Password'
}
]
});
But i will not prefer to call the formpanel in the way you are doing. Rather you can follow ARolek answer OR follow this approach :-
1) app.js
Ext.application({
name: "app",
views: ["Main","second"],
launch: function () {
Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('app.view.Main'));
}
});
2) Main.js
Ext.define("app.view.Main", {
extend: "Ext.Container",
requires:["app.view.second"],
config:{
fullscreen: true,
layout:
{
type: 'fit'
},
items:[
{
xtype: "form"
}
]
}
});
3) second.js
Ext.define("app.view.second", {
extend: "Ext.form.Panel",
requires:['Ext.form.FieldSet','Ext.Toolbar'],
alias: "widget.form",
config:
{
items:
[
{
xtype: 'fieldset',
title: 'About You',
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'name',
label: 'Name'
},
{
xtype: 'emailfield',
name: 'email',
label: 'Email'
},
{
xtype: 'passwordfield',
name: 'password',
label: 'Password'
}
]
}
]
}
});

If you want the form to always be in app.view.Main, then simply do:
Ext.define("app.view.Main", {
extend: 'Ext.Container',
config:{
items:[
{
xtype:'formpanel',
items: [
{
xtype: 'textfield',
name: 'name',
label: 'Name'
},
{
xtype: 'emailfield',
name: 'email',
label: 'Email'
},
{
xtype: 'passwordfield',
name: 'password',
label: 'Password'
}
]
}
]
}
});
