I'm trying to figure out how I can load app.js before allowing the user to get the actual application. What I'm attempting to do is load a user's configuration file before all of my class Ext.defines fire... the reason I want to do this is because the Ext.defines actually depend on values in the user's configuration. So for example, in an Ext.define, I could have the title property set to pull from this global user configuration var. And no, I don't want to have to go through and change all of these properties to use initComponent... that could take quite some time.
Instead, what I'd like to do is load the configuration, and then let the Ext.defines run, but I will need Ext JS and one of my defined classes to be loaded before the rest of the classes. Is this possible? I've been looking into Sencha Cmd settings, but I've been extremely unsuccessful with getting this to work. I was playing with the bootstrap.manifest.exclude: "loadOrder" property, which loads classic.json, and doesn't define my classes, but unfortunately, that also doesn't fully load Ext JS, so Ext.onReady can't be used... nor can I use my model to load the configuration.
I have a very high level example below (here's the Fiddle).
Ext.define('MyConfigurationModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
singleton: true,
fields: [{
name: 'testValue',
type: 'string'
}],
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: '/configuration',
reader: {
type: 'json'
}
}
});
// Pretend this would be the class we're requiring in our Main file
Ext.define('MyApp.view.child.ClassThatUsesConfiguration', {
extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel',
alias: 'widget.classThatUsesConfiguration',
/* We get an undefined value here because MyConfigurationModel hasn't
* actually loaded yet, so what I need is to wait until MyConfigurationModel
* has loaded, and then I can include this class, so the define runs and
* adds this to the prototype... and no, I don't want to put this in
* initComponent, as that would mean I would have to update a ton of classes
* just to accomplish this */
title: MyConfigurationModel.get('testValue')
});
Ext.define('MyApp.view.main.MainView', {
extend: 'Ext.Viewport',
alias: 'widget.appMain',
requires: [
'MyApp.view.child.ClassThatUsesConfiguration'
],
items: [{
xtype: 'classThatUsesConfiguration'
}]
});
Ext.define('MyApp.Application', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Application',
mainView: 'MyApp.view.main.MainView',
launch: function() {
console.log('launched');
}
});
/* In app.js... right now, this gets called after classic.json is downloaded and
* after our Ext.defines set up, but I basically want this to run first before
* all of my classes run their Ext.define */
Ext.onReady(function() {
MyConfigurationModel.load({
callback: onLoadConfigurationModel
})
});
function onLoadConfigurationModel(record, operation, successful) {
if (successful) {
Ext.application({
name: 'MyApp',
extend: 'MyApp.Application'
});
}
else {
// redirect to login page
}
}
