Represents an HTML fragment template. Templates may be precompiled for greater performance.

An instance of this class may be created by passing to the constructor either a single argument, or multiple arguments:

  • single argument : String/Array
    The single argument may be either a String or an Array:
    • String :
    • var t = new Ext.Template("<div>Hello {0}.</div>");
      t.append('some-element', ['foo']);
         
    • Array :
    • An Array will be combined with join('').
      var t = new Ext.Template([
          '<div name="{id}">',
              '<span class="{cls}">{name:trim} {value:ellipsis(10)}</span>',
          '</div>',
      ]);
      t.compile();
      t.append('some-element', {id: 'myid', cls: 'myclass', name: 'foo', value: 'bar'});
         
  • multiple arguments : String, Object, Array, ...
    Multiple arguments will be combined with join('').
    var t = new Ext.Template(
        '<div name="{id}">',
            '<span class="{cls}">{name} {value}</span>',
        '</div>',
        // a configuration object:
        {
            compiled: true,      // compile immediately
        }
    );
       

    Notes:

    • For a list of available format functions, see Ext.util.Format.
    • disableFormats reduces apply time when no formatting is required.
