Adding config to a subclass

[Gummy]

According to this thread http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?133653-Unable-to-subclass-and-use-panels, you can't use initConfig in the constructor of a subclass.

So you can't do this:


Ext.define('My.Window', {

extend: 'Ext.window.Window'

config: {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
},

constructor: function(config) {
this.callParent(arguments);
this.initConfig(config);
}
});


How to you add a config to a subclass then ?

Ext.define('My.Window', {
extend: 'Ext.Window',

initComponent: function() {
Ext.apply(this, {
name: 'Awesome',
isAwesome: true
});

My.Window.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
},

constructor: function(config) {
this.callParent(arguments);
this.initConfig(config);
}

});

Or you pass the config in the constructor

I don't think Ext.apply can add new configs and create the getters and setters, it just sets the value of existing configs.

I do pass the config in the constructor, but according to the thread I linked it's not good to call initConfig() in it.

initConfig is not needed. Below should work.



Ext.define('My.Window', {
extend: 'Ext.Window',

initComponent: function() {

this.name: 'Awesome';
this.isAwesome: true;

return this.callParent();
},

constructor: function(config) {

return this.callParent(arguments);

}

});
