Introducing Sencha Architect 2: A Massive Upgrade of Ext Designer http://www.sencha.com/blog/sencha-architect-html5-app-builder-for-touch-and-ext-js It is our pleasure to introduce the all-new Sencha Architect 2, building on our innovation in Ext Designer. When we started working on the next release of Ext Designer, we had very ambitious goals: we wanted to build a great visual tool to help you build web applications faster that didn’t get in your way. Take a look at how far we’ve come. en-us luca.candela@sencha.com Copyright 2012 2012-04-17T10:00:07+00:00 Comment by Doreen Eshinali WoW! Thats damn awesome guys, Keep up the great work Sencha! WoW!

Thats damn awesome guys,

I guess most people that are used to popular IDE’s expect this behavior. There most be a very powerful reason why Sencha Architect creators don’t want to add this feature. Or Is it so hard to implement it? I just don’t feel comfortable with the READ-ONLY source code, which forces me to extend the code. But then, the extended code is not reflected in the GUI either.

I have a similar background, and would like to be able to leverage what I already know how to do - but have experienced the same degree of frustration getting something working from the ground up. Sencha Touch is a great API. The Sencha Architect IDE is another advancement for the platform. If I could install it and use it in the same way the introduction video promotes it, I’d buy a license in a heartbeat. You might try having a look in the forum and - for that matter posting your comment there. @Roger Boone - I completely agree.

Have a directory in the install folder called examples and provide a link to them within the application itself. Why does the user have to figure out where the examples are _online_? It’s worth pointing out that not everyone has a network connection to check out the examples. Or, they are behind a strangely configured proxy. Sometimes, you have to install everything via USB stick. @Jarred: Thanks for the links. I had already found them by searching around.

There’s no menu link in SA2 to show you where they are. Nor does it actually ship with SA2 and get installed on your PC. “This version of Architect ships with a significant number of examples for Ext JS 4 and Sencha Touch 2…”

I’ve only been waiting (patiently) for this to release for the last 4 months. I, too, would love to see some form of intellisence or autocomplete. However, I know this feature would be very challenging to implement. (I’ve seen others try, but nothing fully functioning.) Not to mention the CPU load on the text searches required for the intellisence. Finally!!! I’ve only been waiting (patiently) for this to release for the last 4 months.

Bravo on the name change as well—a true reflection of it’s evolved state! Btw, for anyone wondering—although the post makes it sound as though the zip of examples comes bundled with the installer package, it’s in fact a separate download available via the product page, or the direct link: http://cdn.sencha.io/architect/architect-examples.zip Awesome awesome awesome!!!

Editor keeps being just and editor with code highlighting…. nothing much, smoother and faster, and with a font that can be read. Still much to go for it being an IDE and a trully option to code in there… Making some stability progress. seems smoother now.

First off you can always include external files via resource management. Click the + at the top right of the inspector, Resources -> JS Resource and then configure the url properly. The contents of that file will be included in your project at runtime and will be available to you. Second, you can create overrides of your design time classes you create in Architect by clicking “Create Override”. Overrides are treated by Architect as text files only and we do not store any metadata about them. They are freeform and you can do as you please with them in your favorite IDE. Code which is generated by architect and has a comment at the top that it will always be generated at proejct save time will overwrite anything you put in it from an external editor. The preferred practice is to create an override as listed in the second option. If you have any additional questions about this feature, please post in the sencha architect forums so we can give you in-depth responses.
