(optional)

A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching multiple handlers at once.


DOM events from ExtJs Components


While some ExtJs Component classes export selected DOM events (e.g. "click", "mouseover" etc), this

is usually only done when extra value can be added. For example the DataView's click event passing the node clicked on. To access DOM events directly from a child element of a Component, we need to specify the element option to identify the Component property to add a DOM listener to:

new Ext.panel.Panel({
    width: 400,
    height: 200,
    dockedItems: [{
        xtype: 'toolbar'
    }],
    listeners: {
        click: {
            element: 'el', //bind to the underlying el property on the panel
            fn: function(){ console.log('click el'); }
        },
        dblclick: {
            element: 'body', //bind to the underlying body property on the panel
            fn: function(){ console.log('dblclick body'); }
        }
    }
});

An array of events that, when fired, should trigger this object to save its state (defaults to none). stateEvents may be any type of event supported by this object, including browser or custom events (e.g., ['click', 'customerchange']).

A flag which causes the object to attempt to restore the state of internal properties from a saved state on startup. The object must have a stateId for state to be managed. Auto-generated ids are not guaranteed to be stable across page loads and cannot be relied upon to save and restore the same state for a object.

For state saving to work, the state manager's provider must have been set to an implementation of Ext.state.Provider which overrides the set and get methods to save and recall name/value pairs. A built-in implementation, Ext.state.CookieProvider is available.

To set the state provider for the current page:

Ext.state.Manager.setProvider(new Ext.state.CookieProvider({
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)), //7 days from now
}));

A stateful object attempts to save state when one of the events listed in the stateEvents configuration fires.

To save state, a stateful object first serializes its state by calling getState. By default, this function does nothing. The developer must provide an implementation which returns an object hash which represents the restorable state of the object.

The value yielded by getState is passed to Ext.state.Manager.set which uses the configured Ext.state.Provider to save the object keyed by the stateId

.

During construction, a stateful object attempts to restore its state by calling Ext.state.Manager.get passing the stateId

The resulting object is passed to applyState. The default implementation of applyState simply copies properties into the object, but a developer may override this to support more behaviour.

You can perform extra processing on state save and restore by attaching handlers to the beforestaterestore, staterestore, beforestatesave and statesave events.

Methods

 
addEvents( Object/String o, String ) : void

Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Parameters

  • o : Object/String

    Either an object with event names as properties with a value of true or the first event name string if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters.

  • : String

    [additional] Optional additional event names if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters. Usage:

    this.addEvents('storeloaded', 'storecleared');
    

Returns

  • void   
 
addListener( String eventName, Function handler, [Object scope], [Object options]) : void

Appends an event handler to this object.

Appends an event handler to this object.

Parameters

  • eventName : String

    The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names. See

  • handler : Function

    The method the event invokes.

  • scope : Object

    (optional) The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.

  • options : Object

    (optional) An object containing handler configuration. properties. This may contain any of the following properties:

    • scope : Object
      The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
    • delay : Number
      The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
    • single : Boolean
      True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
    • buffer : Number
      Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
    • target : Observable
      Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event was bubbled up from a child Observable.
    • element : String
      This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components. The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.

      This option is useful during Component construction to add DOM event listeners to elements of Components which will exist only after the Component is rendered. For example, to add a click listener to a Panel's body:

      new Ext.panel.Panel({
          title: 'The title',
          listeners: {
              click: this.handlePanelClick,
              element: 'body'
          }
      });
      

      When added in this way, the options available are the options applicable to Ext.core.Element.addListener


    Combining Options
    Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners:

    A delayed, one-time listener.

    myPanel.on('hide', this.handleClick, this, {
    single: true,
    delay: 100
    });

    Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call
    The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple events. For example:

    myGridPanel.on({
        cellClick: this.onCellClick,
        mouseover: this.onMouseOver,
        mouseout: this.onMouseOut,
        scope: this // Important. Ensure "this" is correct during handler execution
    });
    
    .

  • void

enableBubble( String/Array events) : void

Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if present. There is no implementation in the Observable base class.

This is commonly used by Ext.Components to bubble events to owner Containers. See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget. The default implementation in Ext.Component returns the Component's immediate owner. But if a known target is required, this can be overridden to access the required target more quickly.

Example:

Ext.override(Ext.form.field.Base, {
//  Add functionality to Field's initComponent to enable the change event to bubble
initComponent : Ext.Function.createSequence(Ext.form.field.Base.prototype.initComponent, function() {
    this.enableBubble('change');
}),

//  We know that we want Field's events to bubble directly to the FormPanel.
getBubbleTarget : function() {
    if (!this.formPanel) {
        this.formPanel = this.findParentByType('form');
    }
    return this.formPanel;
}
});

var myForm = new Ext.formPanel({
title: 'User Details',
items: [{
    ...
}],
listeners: {
    change: function() {
        // Title goes red if form has been modified.
        myForm.header.setStyle('color', 'red');
    }
}
});

Parameters

  • events : String/Array

    The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.

Returns

  • void   
 
fireEvent( String eventName, Object... args) : Boolean

  • args : Object...

    Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.

Returns

  • Boolean   

    returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.

Ext.data.Connection.on('beforerequest', function(con, options) {
    console.log('Ajax request made to ' + options.url);
});
