The LocalStorageProxy uses the new HTML5 localStorage API to save Model data locally on the client browser. HTML5 localStorage is a key-value store (e.g. cannot save complex objects like JSON), so LocalStorageProxy automatically serializes and deserializes data when saving and retrieving it.
localStorage is extremely useful for saving user-specific information without needing to build server-side infrastructure to support it. Let's imagine we're writing a Twitter search application and want to save the user's searches locally so they can easily perform a saved search again later. We'd start by creating a Search model:
Ext.define('Search', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: ['id', 'query'],
proxy: {
type: 'localstorage',
id : 'twitter-Searches'
}
}
});
Our Search model contains just two fields - id and query - plus a Proxy definition. The only configuration we need to pass to the LocalStorage proxy is an id. This is important as it separates the Model data in this Proxy from all others. The localStorage API puts all data into a single shared namespace, so by setting an id we enable LocalStorageProxy to manage the saved Search data.
Saving our data into localStorage is easy and would usually be done with a Store:
//our Store automatically picks up the LocalStorageProxy defined on the Search model
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: "Search"
});
//loads any existing Search data from localStorage
store.load();
//now add some Searches
store.add({query: 'Sencha Touch'});
store.add({query: 'Ext JS'});
//finally, save our Search data to localStorage
store.sync();
The LocalStorageProxy automatically gives our new Searches an id when we call store.sync(). It encodes the Model data and places it into localStorage. We can also save directly to localStorage, bypassing the Store altogether:
var search = Ext.create('Search', {query: 'Sencha Animator'});
//uses the configured LocalStorageProxy to save the new Search to localStorage
search.save();
If this proxy is used in a browser where local storage is not supported, the constructor will throw an error. A local storage proxy requires a unique ID which is used as a key in which all record data are stored in the local storage object.
It's important to supply this unique ID as it cannot be reliably determined otherwise. If no id is provided but the attached store has a storeId, the storeId will be used. If neither option is presented the proxy will throw an error.
True to batch actions of a particular type when synchronizing the store.
Defaults to: true
Comma-separated ordering 'create', 'update' and 'destroy' actions when batching. Override this to set a different order for the batched CRUD actions to be executed in.
Defaults to: 'create,update,destroy'
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
This can be set to true if you want the webstorage proxy to comply to the paging params set on the store.
Defaults to: false
The unique ID used as the key in which all record data are stored in the local storage object.
The unique ID used as the key in which all record data are stored in the local storage object.
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()
.
Cached map of records already retrieved by this Proxy. Ensures that the same instance is always retrieved.
Defaults to: {}
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'
Creates the proxy, throws an error if local storage is not supported in the current browser.
Config object.
Overrides: Ext.Evented.constructor
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.
Performs a batch of Operations, in the order specified by batchOrder. Used internally by Ext.data.Store's sync method. Example usage:
myProxy.batch({
create : [myModel1, myModel2],
update : [myModel3],
destroy: [myModel4, myModel5]
});
Where the myModel* above are Model instances - in this case 1 and 2 are new instances and have not been saved before, 3 has been saved previously but needs to be updated, and 4 and 5 have already been saved but should now be destroyed.
Object containing one or more properties supported by the batch method:
Object containing the Model instances to act upon, keyed by action name
Event listeners object passed straight through to the Batch - see Ext.data.Batch for details
A Ext.data.Batch object (or batch config to apply to the created batch). If unspecified a default batch will be auto-created.
The function to be called upon completion of processing the batch. The callback is called regardless of success or failure and is passed the following parameters:
The batch that was processed, containing all operations in their current state after processing
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
The function to be called upon successful completion of the batch. The
success function is called only if no exceptions were reported in any operations. If one or more exceptions
occurred then the failure
function will be called instead. The success function is called
with the following parameters:
The batch that was processed, containing all operations in their current state after processing
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
The function to be called upon unsuccessful completion of the batch. The failure function is called when one or more operations returns an exception during processing (even if some operations were also successful). The failure function is called with the following parameters:
The batch that was processed, containing all operations in their current state after processing
The options argument that was originally passed into batch
The scope in which to execute any callbacks (i.e. the this
object inside
the callback, success and/or failure functions). Defaults to the proxy.
The newly created Batch
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
Destroys all records stored in the proxy and removes all keys and values used to support the proxy from the storage object.
Overrides: Ext.data.proxy.Client.clear
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
.
Returns the array of record IDs stored in this Proxy
The record IDs. Each is cast as a Number
Fetches a model instance from the Proxy by ID. Runs each field's decode function (if present) to decode the data.
The record's unique ID
The model instance or undefined if the record did not exist in the storage.
Given the id of a record, returns a unique string based on that id and the id of this proxy. This is used when storing data in the local storage object and should prevent naming collisions.
The record id, or a Model instance
The unique key for this record
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
Sets up the Proxy by claiming the key in the storage object that corresponds to the unique id of this Proxy. Called automatically by the constructor, this should not need to be called again unless clear has been called.

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");
