Instance Methods
Add a childEl specific to this instance. This must be called before render.
Available since: 6.0.0
This method applies a versioned, deprecation declaration to this class. This
is typically called by the deprecated config.
Called after the mixin is applied. We need to see if childEls were used by
the targetClass and apply them to the config.
Called by an owning Panel after the Panel finishes its collapse process.
Called by an owning Panel after the Panel finishes its expand process.
Removes layout's itemCls and owning Container's itemCls.
Clears the managed dimensions flags
Sets references to elements inside the component.
In addition to work done by our base classes, containers benefit from some extra
cached data. The following properties are added to the ownerContext:
- visibleItems: the result of getVisibleItems
- childItems: the ContextItem[] for each visible item
- targetContext: the ContextItem for the getTarget element
Called before any calculation cycles to reset DOM values and prepare for calculation.
This is a write phase and DOM reads should be strictly avoided when overridding
this method.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The context item for the layout's owner
component.
Called to perform the calculations for this layout. This method will be called at
least once and may be called repeatedly if the done property is cleared
before return to indicate that this layout is not yet done. The done property
is always set to true before entering this method.
This is a read phase and DOM writes should be strictly avoided in derived classes.
Instead, DOM writes need to be written to Ext.layout.ContextItem objects to
be flushed at the next opportunity.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The context item for the layout's owner
component.
Call the original method that was previously overridden with Ext.Base#override
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.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
args :
Array/Arguments
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)
:
Object
Returns the result of calling the overridden method
Deprecated since version 4.1.0
Use method-callParent instead.
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 and private methods.
Ext.define('My.Derived2', {
extend: 'My.Base',
// privates: {
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',
// privates: {
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
method-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)
:
Object
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 method-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)
:
Object
Returns the result of calling the superclass method
This method (if implemented) is called at the end of the cycle in which this layout
completes (by not setting done to false in calculate). It is
possible for the layout to complete and yet become invalid before the end of the cycle,
in which case, this method will not be called. It is also possible for this method to
be called and then later the layout becomes invalidated. This will result in
calculate being called again, followed by another call to this method.
This is a read phase and DOM writes should be strictly avoided in derived classes.
Instead, DOM writes need to be written to Ext.layout.ContextItem objects to
be flushed at the next opportunity.
This method need not be implemented by derived classes and, in fact, should only be
implemented when needed.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The context item for the layout's owner
component.
Destroys this layout. This method removes a targetCls from the target
element and calls onDestroy.
A derived class can override either this method or onDestroy but in all
cases must call the base class versions of these methods to allow the base class to
perform its cleanup.
This method (or onDestroy) are overridden by subclasses most often to purge
event handlers or remove unmanged DOM nodes.
Destroys member properties by name.
If a property name is the name of a config, the getter is not invoked, so
if the config has not been initialized, nothing will be done.
The property will be destroyed, and the corrected name (if the property is a config
and config names are prefixed) will set to null in this object's dictionary.
args :
String...
One or more names of the properties to destroy and remove from the object.
This method (if implemented) is called after all layouts have completed. In most
ways this is similar to completeLayout. This call can cause this (or any
layout) to be become invalid (see Ext.layout.Context#invalidate), but this
is best avoided. This method is intended to be where final reads are made and so it
is best to avoid invalidating layouts at this point whenever possible. Even so, this
method can be used to perform final checks that may require all other layouts to be
complete and then invalidate some results.
This is a read phase and DOM writes should be strictly avoided in derived classes.
Instead, DOM writes need to be written to Ext.layout.ContextItem objects to
be flushed at the next opportunity.
This method need not be implemented by derived classes and, in fact, should only be
implemented when needed.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The context item for the layout's owner
component.
This method is called after all layouts are complete and their calculations flushed
to the DOM. No further layouts will be run and this method is only called once per
layout run. The base component layout caches lastComponentSize.
This is a write phase and DOM reads should be avoided if possible when overridding
this method.
This method need not be implemented by derived classes and, in fact, should only be
implemented when needed.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The context item for the layout's owner
component.
Returns the number of columns in the checkbox group.
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
ifInitialized :
Boolean
(optional)
true to only return the initialized property value,
not the raw config value, and not to trigger initialization. Returns undefined if the
property has not yet been initialized.
Defaults to: false
:
Object
The config property value.
Returns the container size (that of the target). Only the fixed-sized dimensions can
be returned because the shrinkWrap dimensions are based on the contentWidth/Height
as determined by the container layout.
ownerContext :
Ext.layout.ContextItem
The owner's context item.
inDom :
Boolean
(optional)
True if the container size must be in the DOM.
Defaults to: false
:
Object
Returns the element into which extra functional DOM elements can be inserted. Defaults to the owner Component's encapsulating element.
May be overridden in Component layout managers which implement a component render target which must only
contain child components.
:
Ext.dom.Element
Returns the initial configuration passed to the constructor when
instantiating this class.
Given this example Ext.button.Button definition and instance:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.Button', {
extend: 'Ext.button.Button',
xtype: 'mybutton',
scale: 'large',
enableToggle: true
});
var btn = Ext.create({
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
text: 'Test Button'
});
Calling btn.getInitialConfig() would return an object including the config
options passed to the create method:
xtype: 'mybutton',
renderTo: // The document body itself
text: 'Test Button'
Calling btn.getInitialConfig('text')returns 'Test Button'.
name :
String
(optional)
Name of the config option to return.
:
Object/Mixed
The full config object or a single config value
when name parameter specified.
For a given item, returns the element that participates in the childNodes array
of the layout's target element. This is usually the component's "el", but can
also be a wrapper
:
HTMLElement
Returns an object describing how this layout manages the size of the given component.
This method must be implemented by any layout that manages components.
:
Ext.layout.SizePolicy
An object describing the sizing done by the layout
for this item.
Returns an array of child components either for a render phase (Performed in the beforeLayout
method of the layout's base class), or the layout phase (onLayout).
:
Ext.Component[]
Returns the element into which rendering must take place. Defaults to the owner Container's
target element.
May be overridden in layout managers which implement an inner element.
:
Ext.dom.Element
Returns all items that are rendered
:
Array
Returns the owner component's resize element.
:
Ext.dom.Element
Returns all items that are both rendered and visible
:
Array
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'

Get the reference to the class from which this object was instantiated. Note that unlike Ext.Base#self,
this.statics() is scope-independent and it always returns the class from which it was called, regardless of what
this points to during run-time

statics: {
totalCreated: 0,
speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
},
constructor: function() {
var statics = this.statics();
alert(statics.speciesName); // always equals to 'Cat' no matter what 'this' refers to
// equivalent to: My.Cat.speciesName
alert(this.self.speciesName); // dependent on 'this'
statics.totalCreated++;

extend: 'My.Cat',
statics: {
speciesName: 'Snow Leopard' // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
},
constructor: function() {
this.callParent();
}
});
var cat = new My.Cat(); // alerts 'Cat', then alerts 'Cat'
var snowLeopard = new My.SnowLeopard(); // alerts 'Cat', then alerts 'Snow Leopard'
var clone = snowLeopard.clone();
alert(Ext.getClassName(clone)); // alerts 'My.SnowLeopard'
alert(clone.groupName); // alerts 'Cat'

Ext.define('Bank', {
money: '$$$',
printMoney: function() {
alert('$$$$$$$');
}
});
Ext.define('Thief', {

});
Thief.borrow(Bank, ['money', 'printMoney']);
var steve = new Thief();
alert(steve.money); // alerts '$$$'
steve.printMoney(); // alerts '$$$$$$$'

method2: function() { ... }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});

:
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).
members :
Object
The properties to add to this class. This should be
specified as an object literal containing one or more properties.
