ExtJS5 - Desktop and Mobile Application Development

Sencha a leader in powering HTML5 development for desktop and mobile applications, today announced a significant upgrade to Ext JS, its flagship development platform for building unmatched cross-browser applications. Ext JS 5 is a big step forward for desktop and mobile application development as developers can now easily build and/or move desktop apps to mobile devices, with little to no modification to the existing code base and within the same development tools they already use. Available immediately, Ext JS 5 further entrenches Sencha as the standard for building apps that, with a single code base, can run on touch-based devices as well as computers using either modern or legacy browsers.
The promise of web application development is that developers can easily build applications that run in the widest range of devices and that these applications are always up to date for users. Mobile devices and mobile apps disrupted this model as the industry moved to native apps that require independent development for iOS, Android, Windows and any other platform, or even just porting a Mac OS app to an iPad. This extended application development lifecycle constrains the timely delivery of new features and unnecessarily complicates application deployments for both IT and users. In addition, the migration from traditional, point-and-click, desktop computer applications onto touch-based tablets and laptops is a transition marked by significant software engineering work to resolve display and user experience issues.
Enter Ext JS 5. With the new version, Ext JS 5, developers can now easily build new cross-platform apps and transform their existing Ext JS 4 desktop apps into touch-based mobile apps on tablets and touch-enabled laptops, through new features including:
  • Touch Support: Ext JS 5 adds support for touch-based gestures and now allows desktop Ext JS apps to run on touchscreen devices such as tablets and touchscreen laptops. Ext JS 5 also includes touch-centric, customizable themes. This touchscreen support enables organizations to target a wide range of applications with one code base, and allows easy adaptation of existing apps for operation on touch devices, thereby extending the deployment footprint and useful life of these applications with minimal cost.
  • Architectural Improvements: With a Model View ViewModel (MVVM) architecture and two-way data binding, it is now easier than ever to build applications. MVVM also fosters more modular development and enhances application scalability. Built-in client-side data session management helps minimize round-trips to the server, and the introduction of routing allows deep linking within applications.
  • Responsive Layouts: Ext JS 5-built apps have an optimal viewing experience across desktops and tablets, regardless of orientation changes, using the new responsive configuration system.
  • Component Upgrades: As developers’ needs grow, Sencha continues to enhance its component library. With Ext JS 5, developers can now add widgets inside of a grid cell for data visualization and big data analytics. Ext JS 5 also adds an upgraded touch-optimized charting package with financial charting capabilities.

Ext4 Apply Store Filtering

In extjs4.1: There are many way for store filtering . Some of code i give here Filtering by single field: store . filter ( 'eyeColor' , 'Brown' );   Alternatively, if filters are configured with an  id , then existing filters store may be  replaced by new filters having the same  id . Filtering by single field: store . filter ( "email" , /\.com$/ );   Using multiple filters: store . filter ([ { property : "email" , value : /\.com$/ }, { filterFn : function ( item ) { return item . get ( "age" ) > 10 ; }} ]);   Using  Ext.util.Filter  instances instead of config objects (note that we need to specify the root config option in this case): store . filter ([ Ext . create ( ' Ext.util.Filter ' , {   property : "email" , value : /\.com$/ , root : 'data' }),   Ext . create ( ' Ext.util.Filter ' , {   filterFn : function ( item ) {   return item . get ( &

An easy way to get a reference to the viewport from any controller Here's an easy way to get a reference to your viewport from any controller: Ext.application({ launch: function(){ this.viewport = Ext.ComponentQuery.query('viewport')[0]; this.centerRegion = this.viewport.down('[region=center]'); } }); then, inside say, a controller, you can call this: this.application.viewport to get a reference to the viewport.
