/** * @class Ext.data.XmlReader * @extends Ext.data.DataReader *Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects from an XML document * based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor.
*Note: that in order for the browser to parse a returned XML document, the Content-Type * header in the HTTP response must be set to "text/xml" or "application/xml".
*Example code:
**var Employee = Ext.data.Record.create([ {name: 'name', mapping: 'name'}, // "mapping" property not needed if it is the same as "name" {name: 'occupation'} // This field will use "occupation" as the mapping. ]); var myReader = new Ext.data.XmlReader({ totalRecords: "results", // The element which contains the total dataset size (optional) record: "row", // The repeated element which contains row information id: "id" // The element within the row that provides an ID for the record (optional) }, Employee);
* This would consume an XML file like this: *
* @cfg {String} totalRecords The DomQuery path 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. * @cfg {String} record The DomQuery path to the repeated element which contains record information. * @cfg {String} success The DomQuery path to the success attribute used by forms. * @cfg {String} idPath The DomQuery path relative from the record element to the element that contains * a record identifier value. * @constructor * Create a new XmlReader. * @param {Object} meta Metadata configuration options * @param {Object} recordType Either an Array of field definition objects as passed to * {@link Ext.data.Record#create}, or a Record constructor object created using {@link Ext.data.Record#create}. */ Ext.data.XmlReader = function(meta, recordType){ meta = meta || {}; Ext.data.XmlReader.superclass.constructor.call(this, meta, recordType || meta.fields); }; Ext.extend(Ext.data.XmlReader, Ext.data.DataReader, { /** * This method is only used by a DataProxy which has retrieved data from a remote server. * @param {Object} response The XHR object which contains the parsed XML document.
