/** * @author Ed Spencer * * @aside guide controllers * @aside guide apps_intro * @aside guide history_support * @aside video mvc-part-1 * @aside video mvc-part-2 * * Controllers are responsible for responding to events that occur within your app. If your app contains a Logout * {@link Ext.Button button} that your user can tap on, a Controller would listen to the Button's tap event and take * the appropriate action. It allows the View classes to handle the display of data and the Model classes to handle the * loading and saving of data - the Controller is the glue that binds them together. * * ## Relation to Ext.app.Application * * Controllers exist within the context of an {@link Ext.app.Application Application}. An Application usually consists * of a number of Controllers, each of which handle a specific part of the app. For example, an Application that * handles the orders for an online shopping site might have controllers for Orders, Customers and Products. * * All of the Controllers that an Application uses are specified in the Application's * {@link Ext.app.Application#controllers} config. The Application automatically instantiates each Controller and keeps * references to each, so it is unusual to need to instantiate Controllers directly. By convention each Controller is * named after the thing (usually the Model) that it deals with primarily, usually in the plural - for example if your * app is called 'MyApp' and you have a Controller that manages Products, convention is to create a * MyApp.controller.Products class in the file app/controller/Products.js. * * ## Refs and Control * * The centerpiece of Controllers is the twin configurations {@link #refs} and {@link #cfg-control}. These are used to * easily gain references to Components inside your app and to take action on them based on events that they fire. * Let's look at {@link #refs} first: * * ### Refs * * Refs leverage the powerful {@link Ext.ComponentQuery ComponentQuery} syntax to easily locate Components on your * page. We can define as many refs as we like for each Controller, for example here we define a ref called 'nav' that * finds a Component on the page with the ID 'mainNav'. We then use that ref in the addLogoutButton beneath it: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Main', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * config: { * refs: { * nav: '#mainNav' * } * }, * * addLogoutButton: function() { * this.getNav().add({ * text: 'Logout' * }); * } * }); * * Usually, a ref is just a key/value pair - the key ('nav' in this case) is the name of the reference that will be * generated, the value ('#mainNav' in this case) is the {@link Ext.ComponentQuery ComponentQuery} selector that will * be used to find the Component. * * Underneath that, we have created a simple function called addLogoutButton which uses this ref via its generated * 'getNav' function. These getter functions are generated based on the refs you define and always follow the same * format - 'get' followed by the capitalized ref name. In this case we're treating the nav reference as though it's a * {@link Ext.Toolbar Toolbar}, and adding a Logout button to it when our function is called. This ref would recognize * a Toolbar like this: * * Ext.create('Ext.Toolbar', { * id: 'mainNav', * * items: [ * { * text: 'Some Button' * } * ] * }); * * Assuming this Toolbar has already been created by the time we run our 'addLogoutButton' function (we'll see how that * is invoked later), it will get the second button added to it. * * ### Advanced Refs * * Refs can also be passed a couple of additional options, beyond name and selector. These are autoCreate and xtype, * which are almost always used together: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Main', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * config: { * refs: { * nav: '#mainNav', * * infoPanel: { * selector: 'tabpanel panel[name=fish] infopanel', * xtype: 'infopanel', * autoCreate: true * } * } * } * }); * * We've added a second ref to our Controller. Again the name is the key, 'infoPanel' in this case, but this time we've * passed an object as the value instead. This time we've used a slightly more complex selector query - in this example * imagine that your app contains a {@link Ext.tab.Panel tab panel} and that one of the items in the tab panel has been * given the name 'fish'. Our selector matches any Component with the xtype 'infopanel' inside that tab panel item. * * The difference here is that if that infopanel does not exist already inside the 'fish' panel, it will be * automatically created when you call this.getInfoPanel inside your Controller. The Controller is able to do this * because we provided the xtype to instantiate with in the event that the selector did not return anything. * * ### Control * * The sister config to {@link #refs} is {@link #cfg-control}. {@link #cfg-control Control} is the means by which your listen * to events fired by Components and have your Controller react in some way. Control accepts both ComponentQuery * selectors and refs as its keys, and listener objects as values - for example: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Main', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * config: { * control: { * loginButton: { * tap: 'doLogin' * }, * 'button[action=logout]': { * tap: 'doLogout' * } * }, * * refs: { * loginButton: 'button[action=login]' * } * }, * * doLogin: function() { * //called whenever the Login button is tapped * }, * * doLogout: function() { * //called whenever any Button with action=logout is tapped * } * }); * * Here we have set up two control declarations - one for our loginButton ref and the other for any Button on the page * that has been given the action 'logout'. For each declaration we passed in a single event handler - in each case * listening for the 'tap' event, specifying the action that should be called when that Button fires the tap event. * Note that we specified the 'doLogin' and 'doLogout' methods as strings inside the control block - this is important. * * You can listen to as many events as you like in each control declaration, and mix and match ComponentQuery selectors * and refs as the keys. * * ## Routes * * As of Sencha Touch 2, Controllers can now directly specify which routes they are interested in. This enables us to * provide history support within our app, as well as the ability to deeply link to any part of the application that we * provide a route for. * * For example, let's say we have a Controller responsible for logging in and viewing user profiles, and want to make * those screens accessible via urls. We could achieve that like this: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * config: { * routes: { * 'login': 'showLogin', * 'user/:id': 'showUserById' * }, * * refs: { * main: '#mainTabPanel' * } * }, * * //uses our 'main' ref above to add a loginpanel to our main TabPanel (note that * //'loginpanel' is a custom xtype created for this application) * showLogin: function() { * this.getMain().add({ * xtype: 'loginpanel' * }); * }, * * //Loads the User then adds a 'userprofile' view to the main TabPanel * showUserById: function(id) { * MyApp.model.User.load(id, { * scope: this, * success: function(user) { * this.getMain().add({ * xtype: 'userprofile', * user: user * }); * } * }); * } * }); * * The routes we specified above simply map the contents of the browser address bar to a Controller function to call * when that route is matched. The routes can be simple text like the login route, which matches against * http://myapp.com/#login, or contain wildcards like the 'user/:id' route, which matches urls like * http://myapp.com/#user/123. Whenever the address changes the Controller automatically calls the function specified. * * Note that in the showUserById function we had to first load the User instance. Whenever you use a route, the * function that is called by that route is completely responsible for loading its data and restoring state. This is * because your user could either send that url to another person or simply refresh the page, which we wipe clear any * cached data you had already loaded. There is a more thorough discussion of restoring state with routes in the * application architecture guides. * * ## Advanced Usage * * See [the Controllers guide](#!/guide/controllers) for advanced Controller usage including before filters * and customizing for different devices. */ Ext.define('Ext.app.Controller', { mixins: { observable: "Ext.mixin.Observable" }, config: { /** * @cfg {Object} refs A collection of named {@link Ext.ComponentQuery ComponentQuery} selectors that makes it * easy to get references to key Components on your page.
