I have been learning SenCha Touch for awhile and still feel confused when trying to create a store.
In the SenCha Documentation, it says to use Ext.create() Example
I tried and it simply doesn't work.
For the rest of others, I always see people use Ext.define() to create a store and it works.
Now, my question is:
what are the differences between them and when/how to use either one of them in a right way?
Some demo code is highly appreciated
Thanks a lot my friends.
define
is for declaring a class.
Ext.define('Foo', {
extend: 'Bar'
});
// Similar to:
public class Foo : Bar {
}
create
is for creating an instance:
var o = Ext.create('Foo'); // Can also have var o = new Foo();
// Similar to:
Foo o = new Foo();
Ext.create
- to create an instance of a pre-defined class.
- the class was defined using Ext.define
- used to define the data and behavior of a component. which will be used later.
Ext.define
- to define your own class definition
- reusable component.
- instances can be created using Ext.create API.
