Importing models

[Dumas]

Hello!

I heard claims that their should come a way to import existing code. I started a own thread, because I don't just want to import some random extjs code.

I want to write a generator which extracts ExtJS 4 model definition (from PHP stuff) which could be loaded into Sencha Architect. For that it also would be possible to write some meta data, a different format or have a specific structure if that is needed. IF I would do so is there any way to import models?

thanks
Roland

Unfortunately, there isn't a safe way to do this currently. Importing code into Architect can take many forms, thanks for bringing up this use case.

It's something that we are considering in the future, but there is no current plans for an implementation.

I have automatically generated ExtJS models, so typing everything again for a lot of models just for Sencha Architect is quite ugly, especially because we will have many iterations...

Is there maybe a trick how I could make it work for my own projects (maybe a bit buggy)?
Maybe I create the models by hand, but then generate the fields, etc?

thanks a lot

Well obviously you could create the underlying metadata files if you are looking to transform a bunch of existing code you have, then would just need to make sure you got a proper unique id for your new models.
