The Connection class encapsulates a connection to the page's originating domain, allowing requests to be made either to a configured URL, or to a URL specified at request time.
Requests made by this class are asynchronous, and will return immediately. No data from the server will be available to the statement immediately following the request call. To process returned data, use a success callback in the request options object, or an event listener.
File uploads are not performed using normal "Ajax" techniques, that is they are not performed using XMLHttpRequests.
Instead the form is submitted in the standard manner with the DOM <form> element temporarily modified to have its
target set to refer to a dynamically generated, hidden <iframe> which is inserted into the document but removed
after the return data has been gathered.
The server response is parsed by the browser to create the document for the IFRAME. If the server is using JSON to send the return object, then the Content-Type header must be set to "text/html" in order to tell the browser to insert the text unchanged into the document body.
Characters which are significant to an HTML parser must be sent as HTML entities, so encode < as <, & as
& etc.
The response text is retrieved from the document, and a fake XMLHttpRequest object is created containing a responseText property in order to conform to the requirements of event handlers and callbacks.
Be aware that file upload packets are sent with the content type multipart/form and some server technologies (notably JEE) may require some custom processing in order to retrieve parameter names and parameter values from the packet content.
Note: It is not possible to check the response code of the hidden iframe, so the success handler will always fire.
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
An object containing request headers which are added to each request made by this object.
An object containing request headers which are added to each request made by this object.
The value of the default Xhr header (X-Requested-With). This is only used when useDefaultXhrHeader
is set to true.
Defaults to: 'XMLHttpRequest'
true to add a unique cache-buster param to GET requests.
Defaults to: true
Change the parameter which is sent went disabling caching through a cache buster.
Defaults to: '_dc'
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().
The default HTTP method to be used for requests.
Note: This is case-sensitive and should be all caps.
Defaults to undefined; if not set but params are present will use "POST", otherwise "GET".
The timeout in milliseconds to be used for requests.
Defaults to: 30000
The default URL to be used for requests to the server.
The default URL to be used for requests to the server.
Creates the appropriate XHR transport for the browser.
Creates the appropriate XHR transport for the browser.
Defaults to: {id: 'observable', hooks: {destroy: 'destroy'}}
Overrides: Ext.mixin.Sortable.mixinConfig
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'
Aborts any outstanding request.
Defaults to the last request.
Appends an after-event handler.
Same as addListener with order set to 'after'.
The name of the event to listen for.
The method the event invokes.
The scope for fn.
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'.
The name of the event to listen for.
The method the event invokes.
The scope for fn.
An object containing handler configuration.
Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.
This method has been deprecated since 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.
The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names.
The method the event invokes. Will be called with arguments given to
fireEvent plus the options parameter described below.
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If
omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
An object containing handler configuration.
This object may contain any of the following properties:
The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object
which fired the event.
The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
true to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
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
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.
Allows you to add a listener onto a element of this component using the elements reference.
Ext.create('Ext.Component', {
listeners: {
element: 'element',
tap: function() {
alert('element tap!');
}
}
});
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.
Uses Ext.ComponentQuery to delegate events to a specified query selector within this item.
// 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!');
}
});
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.
This method has been deprecated since 2.0
All listeners are now automatically managed where necessary. Simply use addListener.
The item to which to add a listener/listeners.
The event name, or an object containing event name properties.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the handler function.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the scope in which
the handler function is executed.
If the eventName parameter was an event name, this is the
addListener options.
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
Fires the specified event with the passed parameters and execute a function (action)
at the end if there are no listeners that return false.
The name of the event to fire.
Arguments to pass to handers.
Action.
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
});
And then we can fire off the event.
this.fireEvent('myevent', true, 2, { test: 'foo' }, 14);
An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy by calling enableBubble.
The name of the event to fire.
Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
Returns false if any of the handlers return false.
Gets the form object from options.
The request options.
The form, null if not passed.
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
id
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'

Sends an HTTP request to a remote server.
Important: Ajax server requests are asynchronous, and this call will return before the response has been received. Process any returned data in a callback function.
Ext.Ajax.request({
url: 'ajax_demo/sample.json',
success: function(response, opts) {
var obj = Ext.decode(response.responseText);
console.dir(obj);
},
failure: function(response, opts) {
console.log('server-side failure with status code ' + response.status);

Note: This will be used instead of params for the post data. Any params will be appended to the URL.
An array of bytes to submit in binary form. Any params will be appended to the URL. Returned data will be assumed to be a byte array or ArrayBuffer and placed in responseBytes. Other response types (e.g. xml / json) will not be provided.
Note: This will be used instead of params for the post data. Any params will be appended to the URL.
True to add a unique cache-buster param to GET requests.
The request object. This may be used to cancel the request.
Resumes firing events (see suspendEvents).
Pass as true to discard any queued events.
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

});
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
