Question regarding Ext.navigation.view

[eddiej86]

Hi all,

While I've been working with web technologies (and other Javascript libraries) for some time, I am a Sencha n00b, as well as a Javascript-MVC novice. I was hoping the kind people here could answer some questions I have. After struggling with Ext.navigation.View in other examples (including City Bars), I just finished up following this tutorial with success.

My question is: How does the application know that "navigationview" is equivalent to the MainNav instance of Ext.navigation.view? The tutorial doesn't call for "navigationview" to be set anywhere in the application. Is it an xtype for Ext.navigation.view? Is this a shortcut that will work in any app using the framework?

Thanks in advance for your help!

"navigationview" is the alias/xtype for the Ext.navigation.View.
