Let's say I've got a ViewController, ViewModel, and my View. In the View, I've got a form panel that gets a loaded record. When this record loads into the form, I want to hide or show a button based on the record's status
field, so I figured do something with binding. However, it looks like binding is limited to only inverting, not actually using an expression. To get a better understanding, take a look at this code:
Ext.application({
name : 'Fiddle',
launch : function() {
Ext.define('User', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: ['name', 'status']
});
Ext.define('UserListController', {
extend : 'Ext.app.ViewController',
alias: 'controller.userlist'
});
Ext.define('UserListViewModel', {
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.userlist'
});
Ext.define('UserList', {
extend: 'Ext.form.Panel',
controller: 'userlist',
viewModel: 'userlist',
tbar: [{
text: 'Add',
reference: 'addButton',
bind: {
//hidden: '{status == 2}'
}
}, {
text: 'Delete',
reference: 'deleteButton',
bind: {
//hidden: '{status == 1}'
}
}],
items: [{
xtype: 'displayfield',
name: 'name',
fieldLabel: 'Name'
}, {
xtype: 'displayfield',
name: 'status',
fieldLabel: 'Status'
}]
});
var myForm = Ext.create('UserList', {
width: 400,
height: 200,
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
var record = Ext.create('User', {
name: 'blah',
status: 2
});
myForm.loadRecord(record);
if (record.get('status') === 2) {
myForm.lookupReference('addButton').hide();
}
}
});
As you can see, I'm currently just probing the values of the record to hide the addButton. Is there anyway I can accomplish this with binding or some other approach? It's good to note that I also looked at formulas, but from what I'm understanding, that's only for changing how data is rendered, so it didn't seem like the proper route.
