How to dowanload extjs sdk zip file ?
The link above leads to a download of sencha cmd 7.3, not of extjs sdk 7.3
We don’t have a direct link to download the Ext JS SDK file. However, when you download via the zip or npm option https://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/evaluate/ (sencha cmd zip or ext-gen for npm) and generate the application, the Ext JS SDK is available to you.
Note that the following Generate Application step provides the SDK under the hood.
(For npm): ext-gen app -a -t moderndesktop -n ModernApp
(For zip): sencha generate app –ext MyApp ./MyApp
Check out these 2 getting started guides:

Hope that helps!
#woot – keep churning out examples… they are priceless.
Assuming tooling is updated also? (SA, IntelliJ and vscode)? Also sencha cmd 7.3?
Thanks for the feedback!
The tooling plugins are not updated since the existing ones work well with the new Ext JS 7.3 release. And yes, cmd is updated to 7.3 and is available.
Amazing !! thanks for this new release :)
Please any roadmap update for mid-term ? ExtJS 8 ? to have more visibility for clients :)
Thanks in advance
As mentioned in the roadmap we posted late last year (https://www.sencha.com/blog/updates-to-sencha-roadmap), we continue to strongly focus and invest in and provide feature and performance enhancements to both the modern and classic toolkit. We continue to innovate in further enhancing the current toolkits and leverage the existing runtime to bring more value and options to our community. For the upcoming 7.4 release, we plan to add some very exciting new grid features (please note that features are not committed until completed and GA released). For version 8.0 release, we don’t have any specific timeline to share at this point. We plan to publish another roadmap update post next quarter that reflects this. So stay tuned!
Many Thanks Kirti for this clear and detailed response :)
I suggest that you get the community feedback about what can be useful for future versions of ExtJS ,
this can inspire you and guarantee more community adoption for these versions.Some features can be even a trend, but developers are always motivated to work on “new things”.
Without going into all of them, I can mention some :
– Typescript support (angular, vue and react did ), and this can be optional
– Advanced state management (redux, hooks,context api..)
– More graphql examples and adoption..
– Open architect – more content, support, increase the community…
In all cases, I wish the best for the future of ExtJS & his tools !
Absolutely! We are always open to feedback from our community and I will be sure to take this back to our team.
Since you mention GraphQL, we have a talk at JS Days :” Speed up you App development with GraphQL+ExtJS” https://www.jsdays.io/ on Oct 14 that might interest you.
Thanks.
What’s the current state and roadmap of the GPL versions?
We released a GPL version of Ext JS 7.0 earlier this year. GPL versions of 7.x are not available at this time. 7.x versions of Ext JS are available to commercial license customers with current maintenance and support agreements.
Great to hear that. Was it publicly announced on the blog somewhere or secretly made available to justify the old promise while keeping things under the covers the same way as GPL page is hard to discover unless someone knows that there exists a GPL version and how to find it.
As stated previously, we release new GPL versions with all new major versions, including v7.0. You can download the latest GPL versions from https://www.sencha.com/legal/gpl/
