Ext.BaseExt.app.ActionFiles
NOTE: This is a private utility class for internal use by the framework. Don't rely on its existence.
Represents a single action as dispatched by an Application. This is typically generated as a result of a url change being matched by a Route, triggering Application's dispatch function.
This is a private class and its functionality and existence may change in the future. Use at your own risk.
The name of the action on the controller that should be called.
The name of the action on the controller that should be called.
The set of arguments that will be passed to the controller's action.
Defaults to: []
The (optional) set of functions to call before the action is called. This is usually handled directly by the Controller or Application when an Ext.app.Action instance is created, but is alterable before resume is called.
Defaults to: []
The controller whose action should be called.
The controller whose action should be called.
Get the reference to the current class from which this object was instantiated. Unlike statics,
this.self is scope-dependent and it's meant to be used for dynamic inheritance. See 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'
If the controller config is a string, swap it for a reference to the actual controller instance.
The controller name.
Call the original method that was previously overridden with override,
This method is deprecated as callParent does the same thing.
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm a cat!");
}
});
My.Cat.override({
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
var instance = this.callOverridden();
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
The arguments, either an array or the arguments object
from the current method, for example: this.callOverridden(arguments)
Returns the result of calling the overridden method
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.
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', {
method: function () {
console.log('Bad');
// ... logic but with a bug ...
this.callParent();
}
});
To patch the bug in DerivedClass.method, the typical solution is to create an
override:
Ext.define('App.paches.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".
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
Starts execution of this Action by calling each of the beforeFilters in turn (if any are specified), before calling the Controller action. Same as calling resume.
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'
mixins The mixin prototypes as key - value pairs
Resumes the execution of this Action (or starts it if it had not been started already). This iterates over all
of the configured beforeFilters and calls them. Each before filter is called with this Action as the
sole argument, and is expected to call action.resume() in order to allow the next filter to be called, or if
this is the final filter, the original Controller function.
Get the reference to the class from which this object was instantiated. Note that unlike 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
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
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++;
},
clone: function() {
var cloned = new this.self(); // dependent on 'this'
cloned.groupName = this.statics().speciesName; // equivalent to: My.Cat.speciesName
return cloned;
}
});
Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
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'
alert(My.Cat.totalCreated); // alerts 3
Add methods / properties to the prototype of this class.
Ext.define('My.awesome.Cat', {
constructor: function() {
// ...
}
});
My.awesome.Cat.addMembers({
meow: function() {
alert('Meowww...');
}
});
var kitty = new My.awesome.Cat();
kitty.meow();
Add / override static properties of this class.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
// this.se
});
My.cool.Class.addStatics({
someProperty: 'someValue', // My.cool.Class.someProperty = 'someValue'
method1: function() { }, // My.cool.Class.method1 = function() { ... };
method2: function() { } // My.cool.Class.method2 = function() { ... };
});
this
Borrow another class' members to the prototype of this class.
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 '$$$$$$$'

Create aliases for existing prototype methods. Example:
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
method1: function() { },
method2: function() { }
});
var test = new My.cool.Class();
My.cool.Class.createAlias({
method3: 'method1',
method4: 'method2'
});
test.method3(); // test.method1()
My.cool.Class.createAlias('method5', 'method3');
test.method5(); // test.method3() -> test.method1()

The original method name
Get the current class' name in string format.
Ext.define('My.cool.Class', {
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.getName()); // alerts 'My.cool.Class'
}
});
My.cool.Class.getName(); // 'My.cool.Class'
className
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!");
var instance = this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
var kitty = new My.Cat(); // alerts "I'm going to be a cat!"
// alerts "I'm a cat!"
// alerts "Meeeeoooowwww"
As of 2.1, direct use of this method is deprecated. Use Ext.define instead:
Ext.define('My.CatOverride', {
override: 'My.Cat',
constructor: function() {
alert("I'm going to be a cat!");
var instance = this.callParent(arguments);
alert("Meeeeoooowwww");
return instance;
}
});
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).
This method has been deprecated since 2.1.0
