Ext JS 6 Modern Set TabBar Scrollable

By default in Ext JS 6 Modern version (or Sencha Touch), the TabPanel's TabBar is not scrollable. That means if opened tabs is too many that the TabBar will push the earlier tabs to left side, then they will become invisible anymore (because it's not scrollable)

To make it scrollable, we need set tabBar.scrollable config to true when creating TabPanel

Then we can drag the TabBar to scroll it.

 

By default the scrollable is 'horizontal' , and of course you can set it to 'vertical' .

 

 

 

Ext JS 6 Duplicate Entity Name Error

When I reopened Account Profile tab after closing it, I got following error (shown in browser's console)

Duplicate entity name "AccountProfileModelList": AccountProfileModelList and AccountProfileModelList(…)

 

In this page, I defined a Model named AccountProfileModelList

 

When opening the Account Profile tab first time, the AccountProfileModelList will be defined. And when opening the tab second time, the AccountProfileModelList will be defined again. This is why the error appeared.

What's interesting is that In Ext 5 above scenario won't cause any error, but in Ext 6, a model cannot be defined twice anymore.

 

To fix this issue, we need use typeof(AccountProfileModelList) == 'undefined'  to check whether the model is already defined, if it's defined the model creation code won't be executed.

So the above code should be changed to

 

A more Ext way to detect whether a Ext class is already defined is using Ext.ClassManager.isCreated(className)

Above code can also be changed to

 

Ext JS 6 Invalid Component Id

In Ext 6, I got following error

ExtJs invalid component id "profile.ModifyUserBasicInfo"

 

Following is code producing the error

 

This error doesn't appear in Ext 5, after upgrading to Ext 6, it appears now.

 

It is caused by the id property cannot contain "." symbol, but the id property we used here is profile.ModifyUserBasicInfo

To fix this issue, we can replace all "." to "-".

 

Following link from describes the id property naming rule

The original quote

Note: Valid identifiers start with a letter or underscore and are followed by (optional) additional letters, underscores, digits or hyphens.

 

 

 

Ext JS form load custom object

I have a custom object currentUser, it contains bank account name, mobile number,  and I want fill the form with currentUser's properties.

 

To load a custom object,  first define a Model, then instantiate the Model with custom object, next call loadRecord with the model object. Note that I tried Ext.form.Panel loadRecord(), it's not working for me, Ext.form.Basic should be used here. So we need call getForm() to get Ext.form.Basic

ExtJS Convert Query Parameter Object to URL

Assume we have a parameter object

 

To convert it to URL query, we can use following code

it will output

name=POS&min_price=10&start_date=2016-01-01

 

And to concatenate two URL part, we can use following code

It will build URL like following

http://test.com/products/export?name=POS&min_price=10&start_date=2016-01-01
