/** * @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 Ext#create Ext.create} method. Ext.create replaces the deprecated {@link #create Ext.ModelManager.create} method. It is also possible to create a model instance this by using the Model type directly. The following 3 snippets are equivalent: Ext.define('User', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', fields: ['first', 'last'] }); // method 1, create using Ext.create (recommended) Ext.create('User', { first: 'Ed', last: 'Spencer' }); // method 2, create through the manager (deprecated) Ext.ModelManager.create({ first: 'Ed', last: 'Spencer' }, 'User'); // method 3, 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 {Ext.data.Association[]} associationStack */ associationStack: [], /** * Registers a model definition.
