extts
Runtime library creating ExtJS classes from compiled TypeScript modules with classes.
Also contains tools for generating compatible definition files.
Usage
; // correct path to this module // needed to override default TypeScript __extends function// https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/1622; ;
; ; b.renderdocument.body;
Main concepts
- ES6 modules are embraced (instead of Ext.Loader)
- no Sencha CMD needed to produce release build
- use browserify or webpack
- by default creates anonymous classes
- no global polution (other than Ext itself)
- can't use aliases (other than Ext built-ins)
- Restrictions
- no
alias
includesxtype
(Ext.widget) - avoid
singleton
classes (rather use pure TypeScript construct) - TypeScript constructor and Ext constructor are in conflict (because
super()
andcallParent()
differ)- define
ctor
method that will be used as Ext constructor
- define
- no
Open topics
- static function vs. var
- Ext.EventObject
- Ext.Loader
