2 <p>Ext.Direct aims to streamline communication between the client and server\r
3 by providing a single interface that reduces the amount of common code\r
4 typically required to validate data and handle returned data packets\r
5 (reading data, error conditions, etc).</p>\r
6 <p>The Ext.direct namespace includes several classes for a closer integration\r
7 with the server-side. The Ext.data namespace also includes classes for working\r
8 with Ext.data.Stores which are backed by data from an Ext.Direct method.</p>\r
9 <p><b><u>Specification</u></b></p>\r
10 <p>For additional information consult the \r
11 <a href="http://extjs.com/products/extjs/direct.php">Ext.Direct Specification</a>.</p>\r
12 <p><b><u>Providers</u></b></p>\r
13 <p>Ext.Direct uses a provider architecture, where one or more providers are\r
14 used to transport data to and from the server. There are several providers\r
15 that exist in the core at the moment:</p><div class="mdetail-params"><ul>\r
16 <li><a href="output/Ext.direct.JsonProvider.html" ext:cls="Ext.direct.JsonProvider">JsonProvider</a> for simple JSON operations</li>\r
17 <li><a href="output/Ext.direct.PollingProvider.html" ext:cls="Ext.direct.PollingProvider">PollingProvider</a> for repeated requests</li>\r
18 <li><a href="output/Ext.direct.RemotingProvider.html" ext:cls="Ext.direct.RemotingProvider">RemotingProvider</a> exposes server side\r
19 on the client.</li>\r
20 </ul></div>\r
21 <p>A provider does not need to be invoked directly, providers are added via\r
22 <a href="output/Ext.Direct.html" ext:cls="Ext.Direct">Ext.Direct</a>.<a href="output/Ext.Direct.html#Ext.Direct-add" ext:member="add" ext:cls="Ext.Direct">add</a>.</p>\r
23 <p><b><u>Router</u></b></p>\r
24 <p>Ext.Direct utilizes a "router" on the server to direct requests from the client\r
25 to the appropriate server-side method. Because the Ext.Direct API is completely\r
26 platform-agnostic, you could completely swap out a Java based server solution\r
27 and replace it with one that uses C# without changing the client side JavaScript\r
28 at all.</p>\r
29 <p><b><u>Server side events</u></b></p>\r
30 <p>Custom events from the server may be handled by the client by adding\r
31 listeners, for example:</p>\r
32 <pre><code>{<em>"type"</em>:<em>"event"</em>,<em>"name"</em>:<em>"message"</em>,<em>"data"</em>:<em>"Successfully polled at: 11:19:30 am"</em>}\r
33 \r
34 <i>// add a handler <b>for</b> a <em>'message'</em> event sent by the server \r</i>
35 Ext.Direct.on(<em>'message'</em>, <b>function</b>(e){\r
36     out.append(String.format(<em>'&lt;p>&lt;i>{0}&lt;/i>&lt;/p>'</em>, e.data));\r
37             out.el.scrollTo(<em>'t'</em>, 100000, true);\r
38 });</code></pre><br><br><i>This class is a singleton and cannot be created directly.</i></div><div class="hr"></div><a id="Ext.Direct-configs"></a><h2>Config Options</h2><table cellspacing="0" class="member-table"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="sig-header">Config Options</th><th class="msource-header">Defined By</th></tr><tr class="config-row expandable inherited"><td class="micon"><a href="#expand" class="exi">&nbsp;</a></td><td class="sig"><a id="Ext.util.Observable-listeners"></a><b><a href="source/Observable.html#cfg-Ext.util.Observable-listeners">listeners</a></b> : Object<div class="mdesc"><div class="short">A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this

42 <br><p><b><u>DOM events from ExtJs <a href="output/Ext.Component.html" ext:cls="Ext.Component">Components</a></u></b></p>
43 <br><p>While <i>some</i> ExtJs Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this
44 is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the <a href="output/Ext.DataView.html" ext:cls="Ext.DataView">DataView</a>'s
45 <b><code><a href="output/Ext.DataView.html#Ext.DataView-click" ext:member="click" ext:cls="Ext.DataView">click</a></code></b> event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM
46 events directly from a Component's HTMLElement, listeners must be added to the <i><a href="output/Ext.Component.html#Ext.Component-getEl" ext:member="getEl" ext:cls="Ext.Component">Element</a></i> after the Component
47 has been rendered. A plugin can simplify this step:<pre><code><i>// Plugin is configured <b>with</b> a listeners config object.</i>
48 <i>// The Component is appended to the argument list of all handler functions.</i>
