Ext.BaseExt.util.InflectorFiles
General purpose inflector class that pluralizes, singularizes and ordinalizes words. Sample usage:
// turning singular words into plurals
Ext.util.Inflector.pluralize('word'); // 'words'
Ext.util.Inflector.pluralize('person'); // 'people'
Ext.util.Inflector.pluralize('sheep'); // 'sheep'
// turning plurals into singulars
Ext.util.Inflector.singularize('words'); // 'word'
Ext.util.Inflector.singularize('people'); // 'person'
Ext.util.Inflector.singularize('sheep'); // 'sheep'
// ordinalizing numbers
Ext.util.Inflector.ordinalize(11); // "11th"
Ext.util.Inflector.ordinalize(21); // "21st"
Ext.util.Inflector.ordinalize(1043); // "1043rd"
The Inflector comes with a default set of US English pluralization rules. These can be augmented with additional rules if the default rules do not meet your application's requirements, or swapped out entirely for other languages. Here is how we might add a rule that pluralizes "ox" to "oxen":
Ext.util.Inflector.plural(/^(ox)$/i, "$1en");
Each rule consists of two items - a regular expression that matches one or more rules, and a replacement string. In this case, the regular expression will only match the string "ox", and will replace that match with "oxen". Here's how we could add the inverse rule:
Ext.util.Inflector.singular(/^(ox)en$/i, "$1");
Note: The ox/oxen rules are present by default.
The registered plural tuples. Each item in the array should contain two items - the first must be a regular expression that matchers the singular form of a word, the second must be a String that replaces the matched part of the regular expression. This is managed by the plural method.
Defaults to: [[/(quiz)$/i, "$1zes"], [/^(ox)$/i, "$1en"], [/([m|l])ouse$/i, "$1ice"], [/(matr|vert|ind)ix|ex$/i, "$1ices"], [/(x|ch|ss|sh)$/i, "$1es"], [/([^aeiouy]|qu)y$/i, "$1ies"], [/(hive)$/i, "$1s"], [/(?:([^f])fe|([lr])f)$/i, "$1$2ves"], [/sis$/i, "ses"], [/([ti])um$/i, "$1a"], [/(buffal|tomat|potat)o$/i, "$1oes"], [/(bu)s$/i, "$1ses"], [/(alias|status|sex)$/i, "$1es"], [/(octop|vir)us$/i, "$1i"], [/(ax|test)is$/i, "$1es"], [/^person$/, "people"], [/^man$/, "men"], [/^(child)$/, "$1ren"], [/s$/i, "s"], [/$/, "s"]]
Get the reference to the current class from which this object was instantiated. Unlike statics,
this.self
is scope-dependent and it's meant to be used for dynamic inheritance. See statics
for a detailed comparison
Ext.define('My.Cat', {
statics: {
speciesName: 'Cat' // My.Cat.speciesName = 'Cat'
},
constructor: function() {
alert(this.self.speciesName); // dependent on 'this'
},
clone: function() {
return new this.self();
}
});
Ext.define('My.SnowLeopard', {
extend: 'My.Cat',
statics: {
speciesName: 'Snow Leopard' // My.SnowLeopard.speciesName = 'Snow Leopard'
}
});
var cat = new My.Cat(); // alerts 'Cat'
var snowLeopard = new My.SnowLeopard(); // alerts 'Snow Leopard'
var clone = snowLeopard.clone();
alert(Ext.getClassName(clone)); // alerts 'My.SnowLeopard'
The set of registered singular matchers. Each item in the array should contain two items - the first must be a regular expression that matches the plural form of a word, the second must be a String that replaces the matched part of the regular expression. This is managed by the singular method.
Defaults to: [[/(quiz)zes$/i, "$1"], [/(matr)ices$/i, "$1ix"], [/(vert|ind)ices$/i, "$1ex"], [/^(ox)en/i, "$1"], [/(alias|status)es$/i, "$1"], [/(octop|vir)i$/i, "$1us"], [/(cris|ax|test)es$/i, "$1is"], [/(shoe)s$/i, "$1"], [/(o)es$/i, "$1"], [/(bus)es$/i, "$1"], [/([m|l])ice$/i, "$1ouse"], [/(x|ch|ss|sh)es$/i, "$1"], [/(m)ovies$/i, "$1ovie"], [/(s)eries$/i, "$1eries"], [/([^aeiouy]|qu)ies$/i, "$1y"], [/([lr])ves$/i, "$1f"], [/(tive)s$/i, "$1"], [/(hive)s$/i, "$1"], [/([^f])ves$/i, "$1fe"], [/(^analy)ses$/i, "$1sis"], [/((a)naly|(b)a|(d)iagno|(p)arenthe|(p)rogno|(s)ynop|(t)he)ses$/i, "$1$2sis"], [/([ti])a$/i, "$1um"], [/(n)ews$/i, "$1ews"], [/people$/i, "person"], [/s$/i, ""]]
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
Removes all registered pluralization rules
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
Returns the pluralized form of a word (e.g. Ext.util.Inflector.pluralize('word') returns 'words')
The word to pluralize
The pluralized form of the word
Returns the singularized form of a word (e.g. Ext.util.Inflector.singularize('words') returns 'word')

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', {

});
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 '$$$$$$$'

All parameters are passed to the constructor of the class.
the created instance.
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 new method name, or an object to set multiple aliases. See flexSetter
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
