is there anyway I can extract the data in Grid table into XML format

[Supersuper]

Hi, I have some data in the grid table, I wonder is it possible to get those data in the table and store it into XML file?

I'd guess it would need some coding to iterate through store and reconstruct the xml.

BTW, why would you need it?

[Supersuper]

do you have any example about that? or is it possible to get the data into xml format?

Re 1: No, I don't have example. I don't consider it useful as if data came from server in xml why would I need to take it from store and reconstruct? I can use xml directly, no? Further, I don't have access to the local filesystem from javascript anyway, so what would I do with the xml? Send it back to server?

The only reason here would be to send updated xml back to server, after the user has modified the data. There is a plenty of examples in the forum on how to do this.

Re 2: Yes, (almost) everything is possible in Ext. ;)

Try adding this to your overrides:



Ext.override(Ext.data.Record, {
asXml : function(rowIndex) {
var r = this.store.reader.meta;
var elName = r.record;
var result = "<" + elName + " id=\"" + this.id + "\">";
this.fields.each(function(f) {
result += "<" + f.name;
if (f.type && f.type !== "auto") {
result += " type=\"" + f.type + "\"";
}
result += ">" + this.get(f.name) + "</" + f.name + ">";
}, this);
return result + "</" + elName + ">";
}
});


It allows you to convert the Records in your Store to XML strings.

Perhaps it should be added to Ext as a standard part of the Record class?

I wonder how to this override by the function which is not in the Ext.onReady();
