How ExtJS Loads its files

[trojan]

Hi,

:-? I am wondering and trying to find the answer that we just include 2 js files of ExtJS (adapter/ext/ext-base.js and ext-all.js) thn how the functionality of all components of Ext become available for use.

Can anyone explain the way it works?

All of the code for Ext is inside ext-base and ext-all. That's pretty much all you need to know.

evant,

Thanks for your response. I read both files (ext-base and ext-all) but i could not find all required code there, thats why i am asking this. Reason for this is to take a chance of reducing load time for any application.

Can you tell me how it really works?

What code are you expecting to see?

All the code is there. The browser loads it because you put the <script src="...." statements into your document header.

wow, you can read that fast?

I think you should read the tutorial on building Ext from source (http://extjs.com/learn/Tutorial:Building_Ext_From_Source) (you can build a file that only contains the parts you actually need and minify and compress the result).

Supposed I have developed using ext-all.js and now I want to find out what parts of ext I can strip out. What would be the best way to go about that?

It's a bit trial and error.

You should probably start with the Build Your Own (http://extjs.com/products/extjs/build/) page (it lists most dependencies).
