/** * @author Ed Spencer * @class Ext.ModelManager * @extends Ext.AbstractManager The ModelManager keeps track of all {@link Ext.data.Model} types defined in your application. __Creating Model Instances__ Model instances can be created by using the {@link #create} function. It is also possible to do this by using the Model type directly. The following snippets are equivalent: Ext.define('User', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', fields: ['first', 'last'] }); // method 1, create through the manager Ext.ModelManager.create({ first: 'Ed', last: 'Spencer' }, 'User'); // method 2, create on the type directly new User({ first: 'Ed', last: 'Spencer' }); __Accessing Model Types__ A reference to a Model type can be obtained by using the {@link #getModel} function. Since models types are normal classes, you can access the type directly. The following snippets are equivalent: Ext.define('User', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', fields: ['first', 'last'] }); // method 1, access model type through the manager var UserType = Ext.ModelManager.getModel('User'); // method 2, reference the type directly var UserType = User; * @markdown * @singleton */ Ext.define('Ext.ModelManager', { extend: 'Ext.AbstractManager', alternateClassName: 'Ext.ModelMgr', requires: ['Ext.data.Association'], singleton: true, typeName: 'mtype', /** * Private stack of associations that must be created once their associated model has been defined * @property associationStack * @type Array */ associationStack: [], /** * Registers a model definition.
