What's the difference between model and store?

[bubble8426]

I'm new to ExtJS. I wonder what the difference between model and store is.
When to use model, and when to use store?
I thought the model is the schema, and the store is the data itself.
But it seems not a right concept...

Using SQL terminology:

A model is like a schema.

An instance of a model (record) is like a row.

A store is like a table.

That's it.
You have to see the store as a collection of data resulting from a specific query, while the model will be the definition of your data fields types

[dawesi]

A model contains:

field definitions
validations
associations - allowing you to associate other data stores with this model
proxy - to get your data to-from localstorage or server

Can be used without a store for instance to load and save a form with a single record.

A store contains:

sorters - to sort your data
filters - to sort your data
group-ers - to group your data

Used for grids, XTemplate generated views, charts and other visualisations.

** note you can also put fields: and data:[] and proxy into a store and have it configured inline so no need for a model, but this is usually not used...

why not go to the fast track course and get up to speed in a week! ;-)
