This is normally handled transparently by passing some configuration to either the + * {@link Ext.data.Model Model} or the {@link Ext.data.Store Store} in question - see their documentation for further details.</p> + * + * <p><u>Loading Nested Data</u></p> + * + * <p>Readers have the ability to automatically load deeply-nested data objects based on the {@link Ext.data.Association associations} + * configured on each Model. Below is an example demonstrating the flexibility of these associations in a fictional CRM system which + * manages a User, their Orders, OrderItems and Products. First we'll define the models: + * +<pre><code> +Ext.define("User", { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'name' + ], + + hasMany: {model: 'Order', name: 'orders'}, + + proxy: { + type: 'rest', + url : 'users.json', + reader: { + type: 'json', + root: 'users' + } + } +}); + +Ext.define("Order", { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'total' + ], + + hasMany : {model: 'OrderItem', name: 'orderItems', associationKey: 'order_items'}, + belongsTo: 'User' +}); + +Ext.define("OrderItem", { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'price', 'quantity', 'order_id', 'product_id' + ], + + belongsTo: ['Order', {model: 'Product', associationKey: 'product'}] +}); + +Ext.define("Product", { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'name' + ], + + hasMany: 'OrderItem' +}); +</code></pre> + * + * <p>This may be a lot to take in - basically a User has many Orders, each of which is composed of several OrderItems. Finally, + * each OrderItem has a single Product. This allows us to consume data like this:</p> + * +<pre><code> +{ + "users": [ + { + "id": 123, + "name": "Ed", + "orders": [ + { + "id": 50, + "total": 100, + "order_items": [ + { + "id" : 20, + "price" : 40, + "quantity": 2, + "product" : { + "id": 1000, + "name": "MacBook Pro" + } + }, + { + "id" : 21, + "price" : 20, + "quantity": 3, + "product" : { + "id": 1001, + "name": "iPhone" + } + } + ] + } + ] + } + ] +} +</code></pre> + * + * <p>The JSON response is deeply nested - it returns all Users (in this case just 1 for simplicity's sake), all of the Orders + * for each User (again just 1 in this case), all of the OrderItems for each Order (2 order items in this case), and finally + * the Product associated with each OrderItem. Now we can read the data and use it as follows: + * +<pre><code> +var store = new Ext.data.Store({ + model: "User" +}); + +store.load({ + callback: function() { + //the user that was loaded + var user = store.first(); + + console.log("Orders for " + user.get('name') + ":") + + //iterate over the Orders for each User + user.orders().each(function(order) { + console.log("Order ID: " + order.getId() + ", which contains items:"); + + //iterate over the OrderItems for each Order + order.orderItems().each(function(orderItem) { + //we know that the Product data is already loaded, so we can use the synchronous getProduct + //usually, we would use the asynchronous version (see {@link Ext.data.BelongsToAssociation}) + var product = orderItem.getProduct(); + + console.log(orderItem.get('quantity') + ' orders of ' + product.get('name')); + }); + }); + } +}); +</code></pre> + * + * <p>Running the code above results in the following:</p> + * +<pre><code> +Orders for Ed: +Order ID: 50, which contains items: +2 orders of MacBook Pro +3 orders of iPhone +</code></pre> + * + * @constructor + * @param {Object} config Optional config object + */ +Ext.define('Ext.data.reader.Reader', { + requires: ['Ext.data.ResultSet'], + alternateClassName: ['Ext.data.Reader', 'Ext.data.DataReader'], + + /** + * @cfg {String} idProperty Name of the property within a row object + * that contains a record identifier value.
