Loading Nested List From XML.

[granjith]

Hi,

I am using Sencha Touch 1.1.
My requirement is to load NestedList from xml data. I have tried by creating a model and store as shown below

Ext.regModel('ListItem', {
fields: [{name: 'name', type: 'string'}]
});

var nestedListStore = new Ext.data.TreeStore({
model: 'ListItem',
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: 'http://inblr-portal01/BallyBITest/dashboard.asmx/GetAvailableViews',
reader: {
type: 'tree',
root: 'objects',
record: 'objects'
}
}
});

The structure of the xml looks like this:

<objects>
<DashboardReports Name="Dashboard Views">
<Folder Name="Marketing" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing" isLoaded="false" isBranch="true">
<Folder Name="Charts" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts" isLoaded="false" isBranch="true">
<Report Name="15 Day Offer Margin" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/15 Day Offer Margin" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/15 Day Offer Margin&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="Charts" isBranch="false" />
<Report Name="Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Event" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Event" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Event&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="Charts" isBranch="false" />
<Report Name="Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Segment" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Segment" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Marketing Segment&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="Charts" isBranch="false" />
<Report Name="Daily Offer ROI By Player Club" Path="/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Player Club" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Marketing/Charts/Daily Offer ROI By Player Club&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="Charts" isBranch="false" />
</Folder>
<Folder Name="KPIs - 3 State" Path="/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State" isLoaded="false" isBranch="true">
<Report Name="Rating Monthly Actual Win Per Location" Path="/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Monthly Actual Win Per Location" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Monthly Actual Win Per Location&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="KPIs - 3 State" isBranch="false" />
<Report Name="Rating Monthly Theoretical Win Per Location" Path="/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Monthly Theoretical Win Per Location" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Monthly Theoretical Win Per Location&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="KPIs - 3 State" isBranch="false" />
<Report Name="Rating Weekly Actual Win Per Location" Path="/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Weekly Actual Win Per Location" isLoaded="false" DataSource="http://inblr-portal01/ReportServer_BI?/Dashboard/Player Tracking/Comp and Point Player Tracking/KPIs - 3 State/Rating Weekly Actual Win Per Location&amp;rs:Command=Render&amp;rc:Toolbar=true" ViewType="KPIs - 3 State" isBranch="false" />

</Folder>
</Folder>
</DashboardReports>
</objects>

Nested List need to be loaded with "Name" attribute of each and every element in the xml.

Can anyone please help me in achieving this.

Using attributes on the tags aren't the best but you can use mapping to refer to them in your fields on the model.

Is there a tutorial or walkthrough somewhere on how to get XML to work with Nested Lists? I'm just learning this and getting the Json model to work too quite a bit of trial and error. I've been going through all the screen casts but there are still a lot of holes that need to be filled in. I've done quite a bit of googling all my results come to the same conclusion, there is no conclusion or solution on how to get this to work with XML.

Right now I have a simple XML document -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<clients>
<client>
<clientID>1</clientID>
<clientName>Hudson</clientName>
</client>
<client>
<clientID>2</clientID>
<clientName>Hudson</clientName>
</client>
<client>
<clientID>3</clientID>
<clientName>Hudson</clientName>
</client>
<client>
<clientID>4</clientID>
<clientName>Hudson</clientName>
</client>


</clients>


----- Model -----
var clientModel = new Ext.regModel('clientModel', {
fields: [{name:'clients',type:'string'},
{name:'clientID',type:'string'},
{name:'clientName',type:'string'},

]
});



--- Store & Proxy Set up ----
var clientStore = new Ext.data.XmlStore({
model: "clientModel",
proxy:{
url:"client.xml",
type:"ajax",
reader:{
type:"tree",
root:"clients",
record:"clients"
}
}
});

----- Nested List ----
var clientList = new Ext.NestedList( {
id:"clientL",
displayField:'text',
store:clientStore
});



I am getting this error - TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'b.getRootNode()')


Everything I deal with is in XML, if I could get this to work with XML that would be huge for me. Everything I have found by searching says it can't be done though...
