Data reader class to create an Array of Ext.data.Model objects from an Array.
Each element of that Array represents a row of data fields. The
fields are pulled into a Record object using as a subscript, the mapping property
of the field definition if it exists, or the field's ordinal position in the definition.
Example code:
Employee = Ext.define('Employee', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
config: {
fields: [
'id',
{name: 'name', mapping: 1}, // "mapping" only needed if an "id" field is present which
{name: 'occupation', mapping: 2} // precludes using the ordinal position as the index.
]
}
});
var myReader = new Ext.data.reader.Array({
model: 'Employee'
}, Employee);
This would consume an Array like this:
[ [1, 'Bill', 'Gardener'], [2, 'Ben', 'Horticulturalist'] ]
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
The name of the property with a response that contains the existing client side id for a record that we are reading.
Defaults to: 'clientId'
Name of the property within a raw object that contains a record identifier value. Defaults to The id of the
model. If an idProperty is explicitly specified it will override that of the one specified on the model
true to automatically parse models nested within other models in a response object. See the
Ext.data.reader.Reader intro docs for full explanation.
Defaults to: true
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().
(optional) The name of the property which contains a response message. This property is optional.
The optional location within the JSON response that the record data itself can be found at. See the JsonReader intro docs for more details. This is not often needed.
Defaults to: null
The name of the property which contains the Array of row objects. For JSON reader it's dot-separated list of property names. For XML reader it's a CSS selector. For array reader it's not applicable.
By default the natural root of the data will be used. The root Json array, the root XML element, or the array.
The data packet value for this property should be an empty array to clear the data or show no data.
This cfg has been deprecated since 2.0.0
Please use the rootProperty configuration instead.
The name of the property which contains the Array of row objects. For JSON reader it's dot-separated list of property names. For XML reader it's a CSS selector. For array reader it's not applicable.
By default the natural root of the data will be used. The root JSON array, the root XML element, or the array.
The data packet value for this property should be an empty array to clear the data or show no data.
Defaults to: ''
Name of the property from which to retrieve the success attribute. See Ext.data.proxy.Server.exception for additional information.
Defaults to: 'success'
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.successProperty
Name of the property from which to retrieve the total number of records in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being paged from the remote server.
Defaults to: 'total'
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.totalProperty
true to ensure that field names/mappings are treated as literals when reading values. For
example, by default, using the mapping "foo.bar.baz" will try and read a property foo from the root, then a
property bar from foo, then a property baz from bar. Setting the simple accessors to true will read the
property with the name "foo.bar.baz" direct from the root object.
Defaults to: false
Returns an accessor function for the given property string. Gives support for properties such as the following: 'someProperty' 'some.property' 'some["property"]' This is used by buildExtractors to create optimized extractor functions when casting raw data into model instances.
The raw meta data that was most recently read, if any. Meta data can include existing
Reader config options like idProperty, totalProperty, etc. that get
automatically applied to the Reader, and those can still be accessed directly from the Reader
if needed. However, meta data is also often used to pass other custom data to be processed
by application code. For example, it is common when reconfiguring the data model of a grid to
also pass a corresponding column model config to be applied to the grid. Any such data will
not get applied to the Reader directly (it just gets passed through and is ignored by Ext).
This metaData property gives you access to all meta data that was passed, including any such
custom data ignored by the reader.
This is a read-only property, and it will get replaced each time a new meta data object is passed to the reader.
Defaults to: {id: 'observable', hooks: {destroy: 'destroy'}}
Overrides: Ext.mixin.Sortable.mixinConfig
The raw data object that was last passed to readRecords. Stored for further processing if needed
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'
Create a new ArrayReader
Metadata configuration options.
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.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.
This builds optimized functions for retrieving record data and meta data from an object. Subclasses may need to implement their own getRoot function.
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.buildExtractors
Return a function which will read a raw row object in the format this Reader accepts, and populates a record's data object with converted data values.
The returned function must be passed the following parameters:
dest - A record's empty data object into which the new field value properties are injected.source - A raw row data object of whatever type this Reader consumesCall 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
Returns an accessor expression for the passed Field from an Array using either the Field's mapping, or its ordinal position in the fields collection as the index. This is used by buildExtractors to create optimized on extractor function which converts raw data into model instances.
We're just preparing the data for the superclass by pulling out the record objects we want. If a record was specified we have to pull those out of the larger JSON object, which is most of what this function is doing
The JSON root node
The records
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.extractData
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.
Used internally by readAssociated. Given a data object (which could be json, xml etc) for a specific
record, this should return the relevant part of that data for the given association name. If a complex
mapping, this will traverse arrays and objects to resolve the data.
The raw data object
The name of the association to get data for (uses associationKey if present)
The root
Retrieves the id of this component. Will autogenerate an id if one has not already been set.
id
Takes a raw response object (as passed to this.read) and returns the useful data segment of it. This must be implemented by each subclass
The useful data from the response
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.getResponseData
We create this method because root is now a config so getRoot is already defined, but in the old
data package getRoot was passed a data argument and it would return the data inside of the root
property. This method handles both cases.
Returns the config root value if this method was called without passing data. Else it returns the object in the data bound to the root.
Overrides: Ext.data.reader.Reader.getRoot
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'
