Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket

This library is no longer mainteined.

Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket is an easy-to-use implementation of the ExtJS/Sencha Touch proxy, using Ext.ux.WebSocket (a HTML5 WebSocket wrapper built for ExtJS and Sencha Touch).

Dependencies

ExtJS 5

The new version of ExtJS 5 has requested to make a new major version of Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket. Now, this new major version v1.0.0 is located on the master branch.

ExtJS 4 & Sencha Touch 2

It's possible to work either with ExtJS 4 and Sencha Touch 2 with previous version v0.0.7

Install via Bower

First of all, install Bower.

Then install the Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket dependency (version v1.x.x for ExtJS 5):

$ bower install ext.ux.data.proxy.websocket

Or install the Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket dependency (version v0.0.7 for ExtJS 4 & Sencha Touch 2):

$ bower install ext.ux.data.proxy.websocket#0.0.7

Now, you got the extension at the following path: YOUR_PROJECT_PATH/bower_components/ext.ux.data.proxy.websocket/

It contains WebSocket.js.

Let's setup the Ext.Loader to require the right file:

Ext.Loader.setConfig ({
	enabled: true ,
	paths: {
		'Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket': 'bower_components/ext.ux.data.proxy.websocket/WebSocket.js' ,
		// Require the Ext.ux.WebSocket dependency
		'Ext.ux.WebSocket': 'bower_components/ext.ux.websocket/WebSocket.js'
	}
});

Ext.require (['Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket']);

Usage

Load Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket via Ext.require:

Ext.Loader.setConfig ({
	enabled: true
});

Ext.require (['Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket']);

Now, you are ready to use it in your code!

First define a new Ext.data.Model:

Ext.define ('myModel', {
	extend: 'Ext.data.Model' ,
	fields: ['id', 'name', 'age'] ,
	// Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket can be put here in the model or in the store
	proxy: {
		type: 'websocket' ,
		storeId: 'myStore',
		url: 'ws://localhost:8888' ,
		reader: {
			type: 'json' ,
			root: 'user'
		}
	}
});

Second create a Ext.data.Store:

var store = Ext.create ('Ext.data.Store', {
	model: 'myModel',
	storeId: 'myStore'
});

Third attach the store to a grid or a chart:

var myGrid = Ext.create ('Ext.grid.Panel', {
	title: 'My Grid' ,
	store: store ,
	...
});

var myGrid = Ext.create ('Ext.chart.Chart', {
	title: 'My Chart' ,
	store: store ,
	...
});

In the above example, a WebSocket proxy is defined into the model (the same thing can be done into stores): when a CRUD operation is made by its store (through sync/load methods), a 'create'/'read'/'update'/'destroy' event is sent to the server. At this point, the server intercepts the event, parses the request, and then replies back with the same event. If you want/need to specify your communication protocol (you wanna CRUD operations like 'createUsers','readUsers','updateUsers','destroyUsers'), just use the api configuration:

proxy: {
	type: 'websocket' ,
	storeId: 'myStore',
	url: 'ws://localhost:8888' ,
	api: {
		create:  'createUsers' ,
		read:    'readUsers' ,
		update:  'updateUsers' ,
		destroy: 'destroyUsers'
	} ,
	reader: {
		type: 'json' ,
		root: 'user'
	}
}

With this configuration, each sync/load operation made by the store will fire the right CRUD-overridden action.

Now, you're ready to watch the magic in action!

Run the demo

The demo has a back-end written in NodeJS so you have to install it first. Now, clone the repo locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/wilk/Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket
$ cd Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket

Then use NPM and Bower to satisfy every dependencies:

$ npm install && bower install

Last step, launch the server:

$ node demo/server

Now, you have a websocket listening at port 9001 on the server side! Then, type in the address bar of your browser: http://localhost/Ext.ux.data.proxy.WebSocket/demo and play the demo ;)

Documentation

You can build the documentation (like ExtJS/Sencha Touch Docs) with jsduck:

$ jsduck ux --output /var/www/docs

It will make the documentation into docs dir and it will be visible at: http://localhost/docs
