extraParams for JSON store

[h.latzko]

Hi,

I'm happily using Ext Designer 1.2.2 build 48 for building up my GUI. At the moment I'm stuck with the neccessarity of using extraParams in a store definition: I need to pass the values of some other components which I need for the dynamic store logic. In a manually built app, I added the following definition to the store:

                extraParams: { 
                'sessionId': Ext.state.Manager.get('sessionId'),
                'searchName': Ext.ComponentManager.get('searchFullname').getValue(),
                'searchDepartment': Ext.ComponentManager.get('searchDepartment').getValue(),
                'searchLocation': Ext.ComponentManager.get('searchLocation').getValue(),
                'searchCompany': Ext.ComponentManager.get('searchCompany').getValue()
                },

Since Ext Designer supports the extraParams definition as an "[object]" definition and I cannot check out how the formatting of this is: how to paste the above code snippet into the "extraParams" field for my store without messing the syntax? It seems that every singletick will be escaped by a backslash. Any hints are welcome.

Regards,
Harald

The extraParams field appears to be a bit flaky. For example, entering in the following works correctly;

{a: 'b'}

However, entering this does not

{
a: 'b',
b: someVar
}

I am unsure as to why, anybody have any thoughts?

I found a potential work around.

Steps:
1. Set your store to autoLoad: false;
2. In your application js, the following code sets extra params by hand;

var gridDataStore = Ext.getStore('GridDataStore');
var extraParams = gridDataStore.getProxy().extraParams;
extraParams.param1 = 'value1'
extraParams.param2 = someFunction();
gridDataStore.load();

Maybe this approach would work for you as well?

This sounds for an approach I can live with (until the designer will be able to better handle these addition parameters). Thanks for the great input.

The extraParams configuration currently only supports you putting raw objects in there with simple type values. (no variables or functions)

{
   a: 'aasf',
   b: true
}

Will work fine, but you cannot invoke methods and/or pass variables.

Thanks Aaron,

Any chance of getting this information added to the docs? I'm not seeing it in the overlay help in the Designer or here: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!...fg-extraParams

Those are the SDK docs. We are working on the Designer docs which will be available when we GA the product. Information about adding custom properties is already in there.

You can implement an override for the class you are working with.

thank you, good hint, is there somewhere a simple example for such an override ?
