How to create constants in ST2 (with SenchaArchitect)

[pkellner]

I saw this post
http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ncha-touch-2.0
which explains how to do it if you can put out your own javascript files in the directory specified, but I'm not sure how to do it in SA. I tried putting this in my app launch but of course it does not work because I've only defined my variable.

Ext.define('tweets.constants', {
    singleton : true,
    
     config : {
         baseUrl: 'http://xxx.azurewebsites.net/',
    },
   
   constructor: function(config) {
        this.initConfig(config);


        this.callParent([config]);
    }
});

The first thing you have to do is to add a new path to the app loader config.
So, talking about best uses, I suggest you to put change the constants namespace to

tweets.util.contants

In this way if you have other util classes, you don't need to add a new path to the loader config.
So, follow these steps:

• Select the "Application" node, search for the "loader" config and select it.
• Sencha Architect now have created a "loader" node for you, so select it, search for the path config and hit the edit button.
• Add the "twees.util" path (the path object should looks like follows)

{
    "Ext":".", 
    "tweets.util": "util"
}

• Select the Application node and edit the "requires" config object adding your constants class (tweets.util.contastants).
• Create a folder named "util" under your project root directory and put the "constants.js" file inside it.

Now you are ready to use your app defined constants.
