I have a grid linked to a store with autoLoad: true
. The problem is that the store gets loaded on application launch, even if the view is created only later when accessed through a menu.
I have referenced the store in Application.js and in the view, but I'm not instatiating explicitly neither the store nor the view.
I don't know how to achieve that the store is loaded only when needed by the view.
- If I set
autoLoad: true
, the store gets loaded on application launch.
- If I set
autoLoad: false
, the store doesn't get loaded at all.
I know this is pretty basic, but I'm stuck so far.
Here is all the relevant code for reference:
app/store/Owners.js
Ext.define('Mb.store.Owners', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
model: 'Mb.model.Owner',
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
...
});
Application.js
Ext.define('Mb.Application', {
name: 'Mb',
extend: 'Ext.app.Application',
models: [
'Owner'
],
stores: [
'Owners'
],
...
app/view/Owners.js
Ext.define('Mb.view.winbiz.Owners', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
alias: 'widget.test-gridPanel',
store: 'winbiz.Owners',
columns: [{
...
The view is instantiated in the controller:
Ext.define('Mb.controller.Winbiz', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views: [
'Owners'
],
init: function(){
this.control({
'menu #test': {click: this.onMenuTest},
})
},
onMenuTest: function(){
this.getController('Main').addToMainTab('test-gridPanel');
},
You can add render
handler to view which will call store load
method and disable autoLoad
.
Example listener:
Ext.define('Mb.view.winbiz.Owners', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
[...],
initComponent: function(){
this.callParent();
this.on('render', this.loadStore, this);
},
loadStore: function() {
this.getStore().load();
}
});
I would let the view's controller handle the store load.
Start by disabling autoload on the store.
Ext.define('Mb.controller.Winbiz', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views: [
'Owners'
],
ownerStore: null,
init: function(){
this.control({
'menu #test': {click: this.onMenuTest},
});
this.ownerStore = Ext.getStore('winbiz.Owners');
},
onMenuTest: function() {
if (this.ownerStore.loaded === false) {
this.ownerStore.load(
scope: this,
callback: this.onOwnerStoreLoaded
);
}
else {
this.addToTab();
}
},
onOwnerStoreLoaded: function (store, records, successful, eOpts) {
if (successful) {
store.loaded = true;
this.addToTab();
}
},
addToTab: function () {
this.getController('Main').addToMainTab('test-gridPanel');
}
Wheter you want to change the view before or after the store is loaded is another question.
This is my final controller code:
Ext.define('Mb.controller.Winbiz', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views: [
'Owners'
],
refs: [{ref: 'testGrid', selector: 'test-gridPanel'}],
init: function(){
this.listen({
store: {
'#Owners':{ load: this.onOwnersLoad}
}
})
this.control({
'menu #test': {click: this.onMenuTest},
'test-gridPanel': {render: this.onOwnersRender}
})
},
onMenuTest: function(){
this.getController('Main').addToMainTab('test-gridPanel');
},
onOwnersLoad: function(store){
store.loaded = true
},
onOwnersRender: function(){
var store = this.getTestGrid().getStore();
if(!store.loaded)store.load();
},
It puts all code into the controller as suggested by @pcguru and uses the render event to shorten the code as suggested by @Lolo. Thanks
