/** * @class Ext.app.Controller * * Controllers are the glue that binds an application together. All they really do is listen for events (usually from * views) and take some action. Here's how we might create a Controller to manage Users: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * init: function() { * console.log('Initialized Users! This happens before the Application launch function is called'); * } * }); * * The init function is a special method that is called when your application boots. It is called before the * {@link Ext.app.Application Application}'s launch function is executed so gives a hook point to run any code before * your Viewport is created. * * The init function is a great place to set up how your controller interacts with the view, and is usually used in * conjunction with another Controller function - {@link Ext.app.Controller#control control}. The control function * makes it easy to listen to events on your view classes and take some action with a handler function. Let's update * our Users controller to tell us when the panel is rendered: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * init: function() { * this.control({ * 'viewport > panel': { * render: this.onPanelRendered * } * }); * }, * * onPanelRendered: function() { * console.log('The panel was rendered'); * } * }); * * We've updated the init function to use this.control to set up listeners on views in our application. The control * function uses the new ComponentQuery engine to quickly and easily get references to components on the page. If you * are not familiar with ComponentQuery yet, be sure to check out the {@link Ext.ComponentQuery documentation}. In brief though, * it allows us to pass a CSS-like selector that will find every matching component on the page. * * In our init function above we supplied 'viewport > panel', which translates to "find me every Panel that is a direct * child of a Viewport". We then supplied an object that maps event names (just 'render' in this case) to handler * functions. The overall effect is that whenever any component that matches our selector fires a 'render' event, our * onPanelRendered function is called. * * <u>Using refs</u> * * One of the most useful parts of Controllers is the new ref system. These use the new {@link Ext.ComponentQuery} to * make it really easy to get references to Views on your page. Let's look at an example of this now: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * refs: [ * { * ref: 'list', * selector: 'grid' * } * ], * * init: function() { * this.control({ * 'button': { * click: this.refreshGrid * } * }); * }, * * refreshGrid: function() { * this.getList().store.load(); * } * }); * * This example assumes the existence of a {@link Ext.grid.Panel Grid} on the page, which contains a single button to * refresh the Grid when clicked. In our refs array, we set up a reference to the grid. There are two parts to this - * the 'selector', which is a {@link Ext.ComponentQuery ComponentQuery} selector which finds any grid on the page and * assigns it to the reference 'list'. * * By giving the reference a name, we get a number of things for free. The first is the getList function that we use in * the refreshGrid method above. This is generated automatically by the Controller based on the name of our ref, which * was capitalized and prepended with get to go from 'list' to 'getList'. * * The way this works is that the first time getList is called by your code, the ComponentQuery selector is run and the * first component that matches the selector ('grid' in this case) will be returned. All future calls to getList will * use a cached reference to that grid. Usually it is advised to use a specific ComponentQuery selector that will only * match a single View in your application (in the case above our selector will match any grid on the page). * * Bringing it all together, our init function is called when the application boots, at which time we call this.control * to listen to any click on a {@link Ext.button.Button button} and call our refreshGrid function (again, this will * match any button on the page so we advise a more specific selector than just 'button', but have left it this way for * simplicity). When the button is clicked we use out getList function to refresh the grid. * * You can create any number of refs and control any number of components this way, simply adding more functions to * your Controller as you go. For an example of real-world usage of Controllers see the Feed Viewer example in the * examples/app/feed-viewer folder in the SDK download. * * <u>Generated getter methods</u> * * Refs aren't the only thing that generate convenient getter methods. Controllers often have to deal with Models and * Stores so the framework offers a couple of easy ways to get access to those too. Let's look at another example: * * Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { * extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', * * models: ['User'], * stores: ['AllUsers', 'AdminUsers'], * * init: function() { * var User = this.getUserModel(), * allUsers = this.getAllUsersStore(); * * var ed = new User({name: 'Ed'}); * allUsers.add(ed); * } * }); * * By specifying Models and Stores that the Controller cares about, it again dynamically loads them from the appropriate * locations (app/model/User.js, app/store/AllUsers.js and app/store/AdminUsers.js in this case) and creates getter * functions for them all. The example above will create a new User model instance and add it to the AllUsers Store. * Of course, you could do anything in this function but in this case we just did something simple to demonstrate the * functionality. * * <u>Further Reading</u> * * For more information about writing Ext JS 4 applications, please see the * [application architecture guide](#/guide/application_architecture).
