What’s New in Sencha Cmd 7.4.0.45

It’s now even easier to add css and js external resources in an ExtJS package. The files in the elements of the ‘js’ and ‘css’ arrays of the `package.json` files will be loaded by the package-loader package when these packages are included in the ‘uses’ array of the `app.json` file and they are dynamically loaded:

 

Ext.Package.load(pkgName).then(function () {
   target.add({
       xtype: pkgName + 'main'
              });
});

 

These files can be remote or local. Sencha Cmd should be instructed to copy the files or folders that contain the local files indicated in the CSS and js arrays the compiled version of the package including the file or directory as one more element within the `’resources’` array of the `package.json` file.

For instance:
`app.json`

 

...
"requires": [
"font-awesome",
"package-loader"
],
"uses": [
"package1"
],
...

 

`package.json`

 

...
"js": [
{
"path": "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"
},
{
"path": "${package.dir}/externalLib/external1.js"
}
],
"css": [{
"path": "${package.dir}/externalLib/external1.css"
}],
"resources": [
"externalLib"
]
...

 

That functionality could be used invoking Sencha Cmd by running ‘sencha app build’ or
‘sencha app build -uses’.

Existing applications currently using the dynamic package loader feature should update both Sencha Cmd and the package-loader package to take advantage of these fixes:
