ST2 and HTML

[billsaysthis]

I've just started researching ST2, have installed the SDK and worked through the first couple of tutorials but one thing is confusing me. Is there a way to have normal HTML files with either CSS class names (as in, say, Twitter Bootstrap) or data elements to specify a particular DOM element as an ST2 component?

All I see so far is that strings or XTemplates are specified as properties in view/component classes. I'm having trouble seeing how this would work well with our visual designers, who typically hand off HTML and CSS; if my understanding is correct I'd need to convert all their HTML into JS properties with no roundtrips possible.

You can write your static html/css code in your index.html
<div id='myContent' style='display:none' class='myComponent'>
......
</div>

then use 'contentEl' config property for your component.

{
xtype:'panel',
contentEl:'myContent'
//other config
}
