Extend my own component

[jmls]

If I hand-craft (*gasp*) my sencha files I can do something like this

foo.js

Ext.define('hash42.view.foo', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
selType: 'rowmodel',
frame: false,
collapsible: true,

initComponent: function () {

this.addEvents('removeitem');
this.addEvents('additem');
this.addEvents('edititem');

grid.js

Ext.define('hash42.view.user.Grid', {
extend: 'hash42.view.foo',
title: 'User List',
store: 'Users',
alias: 'widget.usergrid',

initComponent: function () {
this.columns = [

I have 2 questions:

#1 in architect how can I get nested folders under the views ?
#2 in architect how can I extend a component other than the standard Ext ones ?

thanks

#1 in architect how can I get nested folders under the views ? => just name your views like subfolder.myview and the file will be generated in app/view/subfolder/myview.

The downside: it isn't visible in architect yet.

#2 in architect I don't think you can. Maybe if you export the component to a file, you can mess with the code and metadata manually..Import it back to architect. But not 100% shure that will work.

#1 was answered by VDP.

#2 This functionality will be coming in the next minor version of Architect. You can add any arbitrary class inside your controller, view, store or model directory and then choose what to extend from.

thanks for the info.

Is there any timescales (or beta?) for the next "minor" version.

How about integrating the designer into eclipse

We've had an ongoing private beta. If you are interested in future betas (the current one is closed right now) you can apply here:

The release will be going out once its been tested and vetted as stable.

We have nothing against you working with Architect and eclipse at the same time.

Yes, we're just stabilizing the build, getting docs together, etc etc
