How to change configs of subcomponents created by Ext Designer

[jaapdev]

I use Ext Designer to create my pages and I would like to set configs of subcomponents before rendering the components. The only option I know to do this is to promote an item to a class. But I don't want all items to be set as a class.

Example:
The following code is being generated by the Ext Designer.


Ext.define('DummyApp.view.ui.Deploy', {
extend: 'Ext.container.Viewport',
layout: {
type: 'fit'
},
initComponent: function() {
var me = this;
Ext.applyIf(me, {
items: [
{
xtype: 'panel',
title: 'My Panel',
items: [
{
xtype: 'button',
text: 'MyButton'
}
]
}
]
});
me.callParent(arguments);
}
});



And this one:



Ext.define('DummyApp.view.Deploy', {
extend: 'DummyApp.view.ui.Deploy',
initComponent: function() {
var me = this;
me.callParent(arguments);
}
});


How can I set e.g. the Button configs before rendering this component?

Wrong forum? Shouldn't this belong to Ext Designer: Help & Discussion (http://www.sencha.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?49-Ext-Designer-Help-amp-Discussion) forum? I can move it there if you want.

Promoting the subcomponent to a class is the only way to do this at the moment.

Sencha Architect may add the ability to prepareConfig's like so

Thanks for the reply. It would be great if this feature would be added!

Promoting to a class is a bit of an overkill for some situations.

jsakalos, changing this thread to a different forum is ok.
