Before we start


The main tool we are going to use in this chapter is Sencha Cmd. With Sencha Cmd we will be able to create custom themes and make the production build. As we are using Ext JS 4.2, we are going to use Sencha Cmd 3.1.1, which is compatible with Ext JS 4.2. We need to always make sure that the Sencha Cmd version we are using is compatible with the Ext JS version we are using.

So far, this is what we have developed throughout this book:

All the code we created is inside app, index.html, php, resources (CSS and custom image icons), translations, and ux (third-party plugins we used on our project). The other folders and files were created by Sencha Cmd as we learned in the first chapter.
