ExtJS, how to bind ViewModel to component config parameters?

On ExtJS 6.02 I would like to bind a ViewModel to my component config parameters.
I tried what it says here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27284556 but it doesn't work, it's not binding.
This prints Null instead of 123:
Ext.define('MyApp.viewmodel.Test', {
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.test',
data: {
serverPathData: ''
}
});
Ext.define('MyApp.view.TestFileField', {
extend: 'Ext.form.field.Text',
xtype: 'TestFileField',
viewModel: {
type: 'test'
},
config: {
serverPath: null
},
publishes: 'serverPath',
bind: {
serverPath: '{serverPathData}'
}
, initComponent: function() {
this.getViewModel().set('serverPathData', '123');
this.getViewModel().notify();
console.log(this.getServerPath());
this.callParent()
}
});
Ext.application({
name: 'MyApp',
launch: function() {
var testFileField = Ext.widget({
xtype: 'TestFileField',
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
}
});
Using testFileField.getViewModel().notify(); does solve the problem in this example, but in my case it doesn't.
I have a shared viewModel.

Found one solution, if I call this.initBindable(); on initComponent it works:
Ext.define('MyApp.viewmodel.Test', {
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.test',
data: {
serverPathData: ''
}
});
Ext.define('MyApp.view.TestFileField', {
extend: 'Ext.form.field.Text',
xtype: 'TestFileField',
viewModel: {
type: 'test'
},
config: {
serverPath: null
},
publishes: 'serverPath',
bind: {
serverPath: '{serverPathData}'
}
, initComponent: function() {
this.initBindable();
this.getViewModel().set('serverPathData', '123');
this.getViewModel().notify();
console.log(this.getServerPath());
console.log(this.getViewModel().data);
this.callParent();
}
});
Ext.application({
name: 'MyApp',
launch: function() {
var testFileField = Ext.widget({
xtype: 'TestFileField',
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
}
});
The problem with this is that this method is private and is already called on beforeRender and afterRender and I don't know if calling it on initComponent or constructor could cause some problem.

extjs combo box getCount() on store returns 0

I am trying to get the number of items in the combo box so that I can make the first value by default visible in the combo box using the getCount() method but I see it always return 0 so cannot get the first item to be displayed in the combo box.
Code for my combo box is as shown below:
Ext.define('something....', {
controller: 'some Controller',
initComponent: function() {
var me,
me = this;
me.items = [{
xtype: 'form',
items: [{
xtype: 'combo',
itemId: 'nameId',
name:'nameId',
labelAlign: 'top',
fieldLabel: 'Name',
store: me._getNames(),
//disabled:some condition?true:false,//doesn't gray out combo
valueField:'dataId',
displayField: 'firstName',
editable: false,
listeners:{
afterrender: function(combo,component) {
var combo = me.down('#nameId');
var nameStore = combo.getStore();
var setFirstRecord = function(combo){
var nameStore = combo.getStore();
if(nameStore.getCount() === 1){
combo.setValue(nameStore.getAt(0));
}
}
if(nameStore.isLoaded() === false){
nameStore.on('load', function(nameStore){
setFirstRecord(combo);
},this,{
single:true
});
}else{
setFirstRecord(nameStore);
}
},
}
}]
}];
}
Code for the store is as below:
_getNames: function (){
var nameStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: 'name.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty:'items',
transform: function (data) {
var data = {
items: [{
dataId: data[0].dataId,
firstName: data[0].name.firstName,
nameDetails: data[0].nameDetails
}]
}
return data;
}
},
},
fields: ['dataId', 'firstName','nameDetails']
});
return namesStore;
}
})
The result returned from the api to populate the store is as follows:
[
{
"dataId":1,
"name":{
"dataId":1,
"firstName":"Julie",
"code":"10",
"connectionList":[
"EMAIL"
]
},
"nameDetails":{
"EMAIL":{
"dataId":1,
"detail":"EMAIL"
}
}
}
]
Any suggestions on what's missing would be great!

I am written that example for you in Sencha Fiddle: https://fiddle.sencha.com/#view/editor&fiddle/3cdl
That solve your problem:
combo.getStore().on("load",
function (store, records, successful, operation, eOpts) {
if (store.getData().length > 0)
combo.setValue(store.getData().get(0).getData().id)
},
this
)

You must check if store is loaded or not and write appropriate code:
...
...
xtype: 'combo',
itemId: 'nameId',
name: 'nameId',
labelAlign: 'top',
fieldLabel: 'Name',
store: this._getNames(),
valueField: 'dataId',
displayField: 'firstName',
editable: false,
listeners: {
afterrender: function (combo) {
var store = combo.getStore();
var setFirstRecord = function (combo) {
var store = combo.getStore();
if (store.getCount() === 1) {
combo.setValue(store.getAt(0));
}
}
if (store.isLoaded() === false) {
store.on('load', function (store) {
setFirstRecord(combo);
}, this, {
single: true
});
} else {
setFirstRecord(combo);
}
}
}
...

exjts hide column if all cells of the column are empty

I am trying to hide the column if all the cells in the column are empty. I am trying to do this in the column listener by iterating through the store but I guess the store isnt populated at that time. any suggestions to achieve this functionality?
Ext.define('com.abc.MyGrid' , {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
store : 'MyStore',
columns : [{
text : 'col1',
sortable : true,
dataIndex : 'col1'
}, {
text : 'col2 ',
sortable : true,
dataIndex : 'col2',
listeners:{
"beforerender": function(){
console.log(this.up('grid').store);
this.up('grid').store.each(function(record,idx){
// if all are null for record.get('col1')
// hide the column
console.log(record.get('col1'));
});
}
}
}
})
But this is isnt working. Basically the store loop in the column listener "before render" is not executing where as the above console(this.up('grid').store) prints the store with values.

Here you go, it doesn't handle everything but should be sufficient.
Ext.define('HideColumnIfEmpty', {
extend: 'Ext.AbstractPlugin',
alias: 'plugin.hideColumnIfEmpty',
mixins: {
bindable: 'Ext.util.Bindable'
},
init: function(grid) {
this.grid = grid;
this._initStates();
this.grid.on('reconfigure', this._initStates, this);
},
_initStates: function(store, columns) {
var store = this.grid.getStore(),
columns = this.grid.columns;
this.bindStore(store);
this.columns = columns;
if(store.getCount() > 0) {
this._maybeHideColumns();
}
},
/**
*#implement
*/
getStoreListeners: function() {
return {
load: this._maybeHideColumns
};
},
_maybeHideColumns: function() {
var columns = this.columns,
store = this.store,
columnKeysMc = new Ext.util.MixedCollection();
Ext.Array.forEach(columns, function(column) {
columnKeysMc.add(column.dataIndex, column);
});
Ext.Array.some(store.getRange(),function(record){
//don't saw off the branch you are sitting on
//eachKey does not clone
var keysToRemove = [];
columnKeysMc.eachKey(function(key) {
if(!Ext.isEmpty(record.get(key))) {
keysToRemove.push(key);
}
});
Ext.Array.forEach(keysToRemove, function(k) {
columnKeysMc.removeAtKey(k);
});
return columnKeysMc.getCount() === 0;
});
columnKeysMc.each(function(column) {
column.hide();
});
}
});
Here is an example:
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
storeId:'simpsonsStore',
fields:['name', 'email', 'phone'],
data:{'items':[
{ 'name': 'Lisa', "email":"lisa#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-111-1224" },
{ 'name': 'Bart', "email":"bart#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1234" },
{ 'name': 'Homer', "email":"home#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1244" },
{ 'name': 'Marge', "email":"marge#simpsons.com", "phone":"555-222-1254" }
]},
proxy: {
type: 'memory',
reader: {
type: 'json',
root: 'items'
}
}
});
Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
title: 'Simpsons',
store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('simpsonsStore'),
columns: [
{ text: 'Name', dataIndex: 'name' },
{ text: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex: 1 },
{ text: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone' },
{ text: 'Says Doh', dataIndex: 'saysDoh'}
],
plugins: {ptype: 'hideColumnIfEmpty'},
height: 200,
width: 400,
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
You can see in the example that saysDoh column is hidden.

If you want to iterate over the store, you need to put a listener on the load event of your store. The beforerender doesn't mean that your store is already loaded.
I would put the creation of you store in the initComponent. Something like this:
Ext.define('com.abc.MyGrid', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
columns: [{
text: 'col1',
sortable: true,
dataIndex: 'col1'
}, {
text: 'col2 ',
sortable: true,
dataIndex: 'col2'
},
initComponent: function () {
var me = this;
//Create store
var myStore = Ext.create('MyStore');
myStore.load(); // You can remove this if autoLoad: true on your store.
//Listen to load event (fires when loading has completed)
myStore.on({
load: function (store, records, success) {
store.each(function (record, idx) {
console.log(record.get('col1'));
});
}
});
//Apply the store to your grid
Ext.apply(me, {
store: myStore
});
me.callParent();
}
});

Sencha 2.x MVC: Get element by id

I just started using Sencha framework 2.x. This is my app:
app/app.js
Ext.Loader.setConfig({
enabled: true
});
Ext.application({
name: 'App',
controllers: ['Generators'],
models: [],
stores: [],
views: ['Main', 'Generator'],
launch: function() {
Ext.create('App.view.Main');
}
});
app/view/Main.js
Ext.define('App.view.Main', {
extend: 'Ext.NavigationView',
requires: [
'App.view.Generator'
],
config: {
fullscreen: true,
items: [
{
xtype: 'generatorview'
}
]
}
});
app/view/Generator.js
Ext.define('App.view.Generator', {
extend: 'Ext.Container',
xtype: 'generatorview',
id: 'generator',
config: {
layout: 'vbox',
items: [
{
xtype: 'panel',
html: 'My message: <a id="xxxSet">Set</a> :: <span id="xxxMsg">...</span>',
flex: 1
},
{
dock: 'bottom',
xtype: 'toolbar',
items: []
}
]
}
});
app/controller/Generator.js
Ext.define('App.controller.Generators', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
config: {
refs: {}
},
init: function() {
this.control({
'#xxxSet': { // QUESTION1
tap: 'setMyMessage'
}
});
},
setMyMessage: function() {
'#xxxMsg'.html('Set this message'); // QUESTION2
}
});
As you can see I placed questions in the last part (controller).
QUESTION1: How can I set a tap function to the element (#xxxSet)
defined in the view as HTML content.
QUESTION2: How can I set a
message the the element (#xxxMsg) defined in the view as HTML
content.
xxxSet = id of a button
xxxMsg = id of a message holder
Thx!

You can use Ext#get (which accepts a string which is the id) which will return a instance of Ext.dom.Element. With that, you can use the on method to add listeners (much like control) and then the setHtml method to update the contents.
init: function() {
Ext.get('xxxSet').on({
tap: 'setMyMessage',
scope: this
});
},
setMyMessage: function() {
Ext.get('xxxMsg).setHtml('Hello');
}

If you use itemId, you can not access it with Ext.get(). You can try Ext.ComponentQuery.query() instead of that.
init: function() {
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#xxxSet').on({
tap: 'setMyMessage',
scope: this
});
},
setMyMessage: function() {
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('#xxxMsg).setHtml('Hello');
}

How to create ExtJS Grid toolbar search like in JqGrid

i just start to dive in ExtJS Grid, I would like create some toolbar search like JqGrid below. Grid will show the result according to key typed in that column.
Can anyone show me the walkthrough ? ^_^
Thanks in advance for any answers.
jqgrid http://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/379109_10150531271858928_704228927_8868872_1607857946_n.jpg

The way I do it is I add a top toolbar to the gridpanel which contains searchfields. Then it's just the matter of hooking up events to callbacks.
Below is an example for ExtJS 3.x. It's edited out code from my project, so I might have cut out too much, or left something that's not needed. See buildTBar(), buildSearchBar() and attachListeners() methods in particular.
Ext.ns('MyNs');
MyNs.GridPanel = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel,{
initComponent: function() {
this.colModel = this.buildColModel();
this.store = this.buildStore();
this.tbar = this.buildTBar();
MyNs.GridPanel.superclass.initComponent.call(this);
this.attachListeners();
},
attachListeners: function() {
this.on('render', function() {
this.getPagingBar().bindStore(this.getStore());
this.getSearchBar().bindStore(this.getStore());
});
//I use this grid in a tab, so I defer loading until tab is activated
this.on('activate',function() {
var store = this.getStore();
if(store.getCount() == 0) {
store.load({
params: {
start: 0,
limit: 20
}
})
}
});
},
buildColModel: function() {
return new Ext.grid.ColumnModel({
columns: [
{header: 'Index', dataIndex: 'index'}
]
})
},
buildStore: function() {
//return a store
},
buildTBar: function() {
var items = new Array(
this.buildPagingBar(),
this.buildSearchBar()
)
return {
xtype: 'panel',
items: items
}
},
buildPagingBar: function() {
return {
xtype: 'paging',
pageSize: 20,
displayInfo: true,
displayMsg: 'Records{0} - {1} z {2}',
}
},
buildSearchBar: function() {
return {
xtype: 'toolbar',
itemId: 'searchBar',
items: [
{xtype: 'textfield', itemId: 'index'},
],
bindStore: function(store) { //here we bind grid's store to searchbar
this.store = store;
var me = this;
store.on('beforeload', function(store, options) {
options.params.index = me.find('itemId','index')[0].getValue();
})
Ext.each(this.findByType('textfield'),function(field) { //let's have store reloaded on field changes
field.on('change', function(field, newValue, oldValue) {
store.reload();
})
})
}
}
},
getPagingBar: function() {
return this.getTopToolbar().findByType('paging')[0];
},
getSearchBar: function() {
return this.getTopToolbar().find('itemId','searchBar')[0];
}
});
