XTemplate shared functions

[ksumarine]

Hello,

I am creating an XTemplate inside my list items and I would like to use a common function for all the other XTemplates. For example, this is how it is shown to be used. Very redundant. I would like to declare returnName() once and use it in both XTemplates.

items: [
    {
        title: 'test 1',
        itemTpl: new Ext.XTemplate(
            '<tpl for=".">',
                '{[this.returnName(values.name)]}',
            '</tpl>',
         {
              returnName: function(t) {
                  return t;
              }
         })
    },
    {
        title: 'test 2',
        itemTpl: new Ext.XTemplate(
            '<tpl for=".">',
                '{[this.returnName(values.name)]}',
            '</tpl>',
         {
              returnName: function(t) {
                  return t;
              }
         })
    }
 ]

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I tried searching and didn't see anything.

Thanks!

What you need to do is really strip out the logic into a sharable class. These classes are called singleton classes. You can create one like:

Ext.define('MyApp.util.Shared', {
    singleton : true,

    myFunction : function(name) {
        return 'something ' + name;
    }
});

And you need to require this in app.js (or the classes that are going to use it) and then you can call this function within the template method in your XTemplate like this:

        itemTpl: new Ext.XTemplate(
            '<tpl for=".">',
                '{[this.returnName(values.name)]}',
            '</tpl>',
         {
              returnName: function(name) {
                  return MyApp.util.Shared.myFunction(name);
              }
         })

Awesome, I'll try this out and mark it as answered tomorrow when I get to work.

Thank you!
