Difference between a list and a nested list

[Thierryg]

Hi,

I wanna know the differences between a list and a nested list ?

Acoording to me, a list is a basic enumaration of item(s) and a nested list is like a tree.

List :

- A
- B
- C

Nested list:

-------- A1
- A -- |
-------- A2

- B
-------- C1
- C -- |
-------- C2
|
-------- C3

Thanks you for validating my view.

Regards.

Yes the nested list allows you to separate the data and use the search bar so is useful for longer pieces of data like contacts list check out

Yep.

A list is just a simple list of element.
A nested list is a tree of element.

If I have a good understanding of how these components work in sencha - if I'm wrong, please correct me -, the nested list is a navigation view containing lists created from the data source.
It needs to load all data at once. (the whole tree)

A list is just a list...
But you can embed it into a navigation view and customized the navigation to browse your data.
For example :
- the first view displays the root level of your data,
- select an item in this list, push another list in the navigation view which displays the second level of your data,
...

This solution will be better if you have a lot of data to display since you only load a part of the tree when you browse it.
Otherwise a nested list is easier to use.

Is it possible to load sub-items step by step using a recursive jsonRpc call ?

Each node that is not a leaf can call for a listing of the subtree or is it really mandatory to load the whole tree in one time ?

I think there is also a difference in the store type. Nestedlist takes a treestore. I don't think list does.

Hi,

First thanks for all the reply.

So now i think i will used a nestedlist linked with treestore / proxy / jsonp (json rpc call).

Ext.define('FileSystemModel',
        {
            extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
            fields:
            [
                { name: 'item', type: 'string' },
                { name: 'type', type: 'int'    }
            ]
        });
        var FileSystemStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.TreeStore',
        {
            model              : 'FileSystemModel',
            defaultRootProperty: 'items',
            root               : data
        });

I have checked on the example and inside the documentation, but i didn't find any good example.

Is there a good skeleton/example that can help me to work efficiently and quicky ?

Thanks in advance of your reply.

Do you know of a good example of using lists with a navigation view to push and pop lists?
