global variables

[ehanan]

Aaron,

I have the same problem, let say that you define a basic function in the aplicación, it ask you in the component config 2 things: fn and param

Then in the code of thet function you put what is the function and if you see the code will be like this:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({    enabled: true
});


Ext.application({
    views: [
        'MyPanel'
    ],


    autoCreateViewport: true,


    name: 'MyApp',


    launch: function() {


    },


    mensaje: function(texto, texto2) {
        function mensaje (texto,texto2) {console.log(texto+" "+texto2)};
    }


});

So you have the function mensaje defined in your app,

The question is how you can call your function?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have the same problem, have you found solution how to call function defined in App ?

Thanks ahead

I'm about 3 days into trying out Sencha. Here's how I got around it.


In the application's launch function, I defined a function like so:

TestLogin.basicFunc = function(cookieName)
{
        alert(cookieName);
};

And from somewhere else in my code, I called it like so: (where 'TestLogin' is the name of my application)

TestLogin.basicFunc("kablooey");

If you are not in the same class, how to do that?

For example, to call a controller's function that is in another controller's function, how to achieve it?

This is hard coding Sencha, it's mean to be used in another way. Isn't it, Sencha Pro?

TestLogin.basicFunc = function(cookieName)
{
        alert(cookieName);
};

You define a function as a global function (application scope). It's generally not recommended.

If you do that with hundreds of function, it's absolutely bad optimized. Memory is crucial in JS!

If you are not in the same class, how to do that?

For example, to call a controller's function that is in another controller's function, how to achieve it?

var controller = this.getController("SomeController");
controller.someFunction();

Tried with,

this.getController("MyController").myFunction();

Where MyController is my controller's userClassName, myFunction() is a basic function in this controller. This code snippet runs in a view on a button's handler.

..but it doesn't work!

Error: this.getController("MyController") fails

This code snippet runs in a view on a button's handler.

What you mean?
"basic function" is in the controller or in the component?

If later be sure that wont work, getController() is a Controller class method.

Basic functions doesn't exist in component in Sencha Architect. My basic function is in the controller.

Basic functions doesn't exist in component in Sencha Architect. My basic function is in the controller.

Check your code: spelling, case, etc.

Also check function call context.

Be sure that such way of calling methods from one controller to another works.
