Overview
+ + + + +Ext.Direct aims to streamline communication between the client and server +by providing a single interface that reduces the amount of common code +typically required to validate data and handle returned data packets +(reading data, error conditions, etc).
+ + + + +The Ext.direct namespace includes several classes for a closer integration +with the server-side. The Ext.data namespace also includes classes for working +with Ext.data.Stores which are backed by data from an Ext.Direct method.
+ + + + +Specification
+ + + + +For additional information consult the +Ext.Direct Specification.
+ + + + +Providers
+ + + + +Ext.Direct uses a provider architecture, where one or more providers are +used to transport data to and from the server. There are several providers +that exist in the core at the moment:
+ + +A provider does not need to be invoked directly, providers are added via +Ext.direct.Manager.add.
+ + + + +Router
+ + + + +Ext.Direct utilizes a "router" on the server to direct requests from the client +to the appropriate server-side method. Because the Ext.Direct API is completely +platform-agnostic, you could completely swap out a Java based server solution +and replace it with one that uses C# without changing the client side JavaScript +at all.
+ + + + +Server side events
+ + + + +Custom events from the server may be handled by the client by adding +listeners, for example:
+ + +{"type":"event","name":"message","data":"Successfully polled at: 11:19:30 am"}
+
+// add a handler for a 'message' event sent by the server
+Ext.direct.Manager.on('message', function(e){
+ out.append(String.format('<p><i>{0}</i></p>', e.data));
+ out.el.scrollTo('t', 100000, true);
+});
+(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'); }
+ }
+ }
+});

this reference) in which the handler function is executed.
+If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.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
+});

Adds an Ext.Direct Provider and creates the proxy or stub methods to execute server-side methods. +If the provider is not already connected, it will auto-connect.
+ +var pollProv = new Ext.direct.PollingProvider({
+ url: 'php/poll2.php'
+});
+
+Ext.direct.Manager.addProvider({
+ "type":"remoting", // create a Ext.direct.RemotingProvider
+ "url":"php\/router.php", // url to connect to the Ext.Direct server-side router.
+ "actions":{ // each property within the actions object represents a Class

+},{
+ type: 'polling', // create a Ext.direct.PollingProvider

+Accepts either an Array of Provider descriptions (an instance +or config object for a Provider) or any number of Provider descriptions as arguments. Each +Provider description instructs Ext.Direct how to create client-side stub methods.
+Starts capture on the specified Observable. All events will be passed +to the supplied function with the event name + standard signature of the event +before the event is fired. If the supplied function returns false, +the event will not fire.
+The Observable to capture events from.
+The function to call when an event is fired.
+(optional) The scope (this reference) in which the function is executed. Defaults to the Observable firing the event.

+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');
+ }
+}
+});
+The event name to bubble, or an Array of event names.
+Fires the specified event with the passed parameters (minus the event name).
+ + +An event may be set to bubble up an Observable parent hierarchy (See Ext.Component.getBubbleTarget) +by calling enableBubble.
+ +The name of the event to fire.
+Variable number of parameters are passed to handlers.
+returns false if any of the handlers return false otherwise it returns true.
+Checks to see if this object has any listeners for a specified event
+Checks to see if this object has any listeners for a specified event
+The name of the event to check for
+True if the event is being listened for, else false
+Sets observability on the passed class constructor.
+ +This makes any event fired on any instance of the passed class also fire a single event through +the class allowing for central handling of events on many instances at once.
+ +Usage:
+ +Ext.util.Observable.observe(Ext.data.Connection);
+Ext.data.Connection.on('beforerequest', function(con, options) {
+ console.log('Ajax request made to ' + options.url);
+});
