MVC - Views, Controller & Model

[managedfollowup]

Hi all,

I'm looking at ext4. I have a few questions that I need to clear up before committing to using it in anger. As follows:

I have index.html and do not want to use viewpoint. I wish to have container to allow strolling. So my app.js does such. I can load a few custom views via controllers into items[] - sorted! My question is when I want to go to another page. Do I create Dashboard.html and dashboard.js (instead of app.js). or do I render a controller into an existing container? Basically, do I make the app only load one page for my main site?

Controller & Model. When a user clicks a button after filling in form data, an event on the controller gets fired (got this working!) Now, I would expect that you could get a reference to the model content, in turn I would expect that Model to call a proxy, voila! But I cannot seams to get a handle to the model content. using 'this.getUserXYZ' gets me a function? any ideas? However, I can get a reference to the form but it just doesn't feel right if ext4 MVC is actually MVC?

Cheers

You can have multi page applications except you will have the browser redownload everything which isn't optimal and not very RIAish IMO. Instead, you could add/remove components to act as different pages.

For your form, do you use loadRecord onto the basic form and pass a model instance? If so, then you can use the getRecord and updateRecord methods.

Also, please post into the appropriate forum. I have moved this to the Ext JS 4 Q&A forum for you.
