Associated Data in Grid

[druckreich]

Hello Forum,

I am in need of an aha-moment.

Given the following scenario:

I want to show items in a grid that belong to a group.
(item belongsTo group)
(group hasMany items)
I want to show the group label instead of the group_id.

My background is Flex and usually when I wanted to show this kind of scenario I would wait for the items and the groups to be loaded and then find the right group for every item and show it's label.

Do I use the same aproach in ExtJs?

thanks

Have you looked at our grouping grid:
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-4.0...groupgrid.html

You can use the template to change the group label.

   var groupingFeature = Ext.create('Ext.grid.feature.Grouping',{
        groupHeaderTpl: 'Cuisine: {name} ({rows.length} Item{[values.rows.length > 1 ? "s" : ""]})'
    });

Scott.
