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'); }
        }
    }
});

Methods

 

Parameters

  • attributes : Object
    The attributes/config for the node

Returns

  • Void
 
Ext.util.Observable.capture( Observable o, Function fn, [Object scope]) : Void
Starts capture on the specified Observable. All events will be passed to the supplied function with the event name + ...
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.

Parameters

  • o : Observable
    The Observable to capture events from.
  • fn : Function
    The function to call when an event is fired.
  • scope : Object
    (optional) The scope (this reference) in which the function is executed. Defaults to the Observable firing the event.

Returns

  • Void
 
Ext.util.Observable.observe( Function c, Object listeners) : Void
Sets observability on the passed class constructor. This makes any event fired on any instance of the passed class a...

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);
});

Parameters

  • c : Function

    The class constructor to make observable.

  • listeners : Object

    An object containing a series of listeners to add. See addListener.

Returns

  • Void
 
Removes all added captures from the Observable.
Removes all added captures from the Observable.

Parameters

  • o : Observable
    The Observable to release

Returns

  • Void
 
addEvents( Object|String o, string Optional.) : Void
Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.
Adds the specified events to the list of events which this Observable may fire.

Parameters

  • o : Object|String
    Either an object with event names as properties with a value of true or the first event name string if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters.
  • Optional. : string
    Event name if multiple event names are being passed as separate parameters. Usage:
    this.addEvents('storeloaded', 'storecleared');

Returns

  • Void
 
addListener( String eventName, Function handler, [Object scope], [Object options]) : Void
Appends an event handler to this object.
Appends an event handler to this object.

Parameters

  • eventName : String
    The name of the event to listen for. May also be an object who's property names are event names. See
  • handler : Function
    The method the event invokes.
  • scope : Object
    (optional) The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
  • options : Object
    (optional) An object containing handler configuration. properties. This may contain any of the following properties:
    • scope : Object
      The scope (this reference) in which the handler function is executed. If omitted, defaults to the object which fired the event.
    • delay : Number
      The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires.
    • single : Boolean
      True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself.
    • buffer : Number
      Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place.
    • target : Observable
      Only call the handler if the event was fired on the target Observable, not if the event was bubbled up from a child Observable.
    • element : String
      This option is only valid for listeners bound to Components. The name of a Component property which references an element to add a listener to.

      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
    });
    .

Returns

  • Void

enableBubble( String/Array events) : Void
Enables events fired by this Observable to bubble up an owner hierarchy by calling this.getBubbleTarget() if present....

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, {
//  Add functionality to Field's initComponent to enable the change event to bubble
initComponent : Ext.Function.createSequence(Ext.form.Field.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');
    }
}
});
