Model.destroy() does not work

[Mike Mandel]

Hello,

I have problems to delete a user with the new Ext.Data.Model package.
To test it, I simply chained the CRUD operations together.
So first create the new user, then update and finally delete.
Creating and updating works fine, but I can´t delete the user.
In the server logs, I can see the url calls when creating and updating the user.
But there is no url call for delete.
Deleting the user with curl works fine.
The backend is written with the Perl Catalyst Framework using REST style.
Maybe it´s a bug in Ext JS?

Here is my code:

Ext.regModel('User', {
        fields: [ 'id', 'name', 'email' ],
        proxy: {
            type: 'rest',
            url: '/user',
            reader: {
                type: 'json',
                root: 'user',
                successProperty: 'success'
            }
        }
    });
                
    //create the user
    var user = Ext.ModelMgr.create({name: 'Mike', email: 'my@email'}, 'User');
    user.save({
        success: function(user) {
            console.log('ID ' + user.getId());
            //update the user
            user.set({name: 'Mike Mandel'});
            user.save({
                success: function(user) {
                    console.log('user updated ' + user.get('name'));
                    //delete the user
                    user.destroy({
                        success: function(user) {
                            console.log('user deleted');
                        },
                        failure: function(user) {
                            console.log('user delete failed');
                        }
                    });
                },
                failure: function(user) {
                    console.log('user update failed');
                }
            });
        },
        failure: function(user) {
            console.log('user create failed');
        }
    });

Thanks for your help!

It happens because there's no destroy() method defined on Model yet (dev preview 2).
I believe calling destroy() on any model just falls back to this empty function call:

destroy: function() {}   --> line 2394 in ext-core-debug.js

In other words Model.destroy() functionality is not implemented yet in the current developer preview

Thanks for your response!

You are right. It seems, that this function is not yet implemented.
I wrote a simple console.log('destroy()') inside the destroy() function to get some debugging output.

Let´s hope, that it gets fixed in one of the next releases.
