Dynamic Loading?

[mdavis6890]

I'm currently using bootstrap.js which loads ext-debug-all. I'd like to instead try out the dynamic loading feature. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

We're in the midst of preparing a thorough guide on this. There are important information and best practices to take note in order to avoid any downside of this approach, so I strongly suggest that you wait for a little while more. The tutorial should be out soon before the final release of Ext 4.

In that case, can you help me understand this error message that cropped up when I moved to pr2?

[Ext.Loader][not enabled] Missing required class: gridpanel

From:

4505 // If the dynamic dependency feature is not being used, throw an error
4506 // if the dependencies are not defined
4507 if (!this.config.enabled) {
4508    if (classNames.length > 0) {
4509       throw new Error("[Ext.Loader][not enabled] Missing required class" + ((classNames.length > 1) ? "es" : "") +
4510       ": " + classNames.join(', '));
4511    }
4512 } 

Everything still seems to work, but I'd like to identify the problem and fix it.

Thanks,
Michael

It looks like you have a typo in the class name you're trying to instantiate ('gridpanel'). This won't work:

Ext.create('gridpanel'); // 'gridpanel' is neither a valid class name nor a valid alias

It should be either one of these instead:

new Ext.grid.GridPanel;

Ext.create('Ext.grid.GridPanel'); // By full class name

Ext.create('widget.gridpanel'); // By alias

Ext.widget('gridpanel'); // By xtype, recommended

The source of the problem was some Ext.extends that I was still using. I guess something changed between pr1 and pr2 to alert/break on this legacy code. I changed those to Ext.define and the errors stopped.
