Reconfiguring ExtJS 4 Grid

[driesie]

I'm building a prototype with ExtJS 4. The preview was good already and I'm glad to see the Beta 1 is out

I have a question about reconfiguring the grids though. The old api had a reconfigure method, but there doesn't seem to be anything similar on the new API?
I'm basically trying to reconfigure the column model when loading new data.

Similarly, I'm trying to reconfigure the chart series when getting new data.

Any pointers?

BUMP...

I am having the similar qustion. In Ext3 you could buld the columns and fields structure on the server-side (PHP) and then use setConfig() on the columnmodel to create the model.

Is there already something similar like this in the Ext4 Beta ??

Bump again.

I am also interested in how to add columns (fields) to a grid dynamically.

You can try reconfigure method (not sure if it's documented)

reconfigure: function(store, columns) {
        var me = this;

        if (me.lockable) {
            me.reconfigureLockable(store, columns);
            return;
        }

        if (columns) {
            me.headerCt.removeAll();
            me.headerCt.add(columns);
        }
        if (store) {
            store = Ext.StoreManager.lookup(store);
            me.bindStore(store);
        } else {
            me.getView().refresh();
        }
    },

Oh wow, I assumed the OP had tried that. It's sitting there, right in Ext.panel.Table. It's not yet documented.

My actual problem (what I mistook for a missing way to reconfigure) was that you cannot start without a store at all any more.
