How to get a single model

[cyberwombat]

I would like to input on how to best handle a situation. I have a store of users and a corresponding user model. The proxies for each are different - I assume Sencha will use the store proxy when I need a collection and the model proxy when I just need one?


In my app I sometimes need to get a user that may not be in my current store collection. So I want to download it directly and add it to the store. Unsure how to do this.


User model:

Ext.define("App.model.User", {
    extend: "Ext.data.Model",
    config: {
        fields: ['id', 'name'],
        proxy: {
            type: 'ajax',
            url : config.url + "/user",
            reader: 'json'
        },
    }
});

Users store:

Ext.define("App.store.Users", {
    extend: "Ext.data.Store",
    requires: "App.model.User",
     config: {
         autoLoad: true,
         model: "App.model.User",
         proxy: {
            type: 'ajax',
            url : config.url + "/users",
            reader: 'json'
        }
    }
});

In my controller code - this doesn't work

var d = Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('Users');
var e = d.find('id', 'someid');
if(e == -1) {
    Ext.ModelManager.getModel('User').load('someid');
}

Errors are get:
Uncaught Error: [ERROR][Ext.data.Operation#setModel] An Operation needs to have a model defined. (if I try to call load on store instead of find)
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'load' of undefined (if I try to use modelmanager)




So how can I fetch a user by id from store and have the model automatically fetch it from proxy if not found?


Thanks

Without having the store anywhere, can you load a single model instance by itself?

Well I am unclear on how to load the model so no.

This var d = Ext.ModelManager.getModel('User') doesn't return anything.

I tried adding models: ['User'] at top of controller and/or in my Ext.application with no difference.

You need to use the full class name... so if your model name is MyApp.model.User then you need to use getModel('MyApp.model.User'). Remember, the controllers, models, stores, and views config arrays will prepend text so if you use models : ['User'] then it will actually load MyApp.model.User

Ah ok. But still get an error

var d = Ext.data.ModelManager.getModel('SquareRoute.model.User');
var e = d.load(278);
console.log(d);

Uncaught Error: [ERROR][Ext.data.Operation#setModel] An Operation needs to have a model defined.

My console also doesn't seem to show an object for d - not sure what it's returning

function () {
                    return this.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
                }

Ok.. been at this for hours and hours - could really use some help. How do I load a model? Everything I tried fails - whether I use datamanager/store or modelmanager/getmodel same issue:

Uncaught Error: [ERROR][Ext.data.Operation#setModel] An Operation needs to have a model defined.

My model is defined in my store, its loaded in my app, loaded in my controller, no go.

Only way I can see to make this work is to do a json call and create a new model by hand

Examples? suggestions?

Ok. Bug.

I am new with sencha , I just solved my problem with your comment , I have the proxy configured in the model not in the store , and I wonder if bringing a single model at a time I would lost efficiency .
With the configuration I have (of the proxy in the model )How can I get all the records ??
