Overview of this book

Sencha Ext JS is an industry leader for business-standard web application development. Ext JS is a leading JavaScript framework that comes with a myriad of components, APIs, and extensive documentation that you can harness to build powerful and interactive applications. Using Ext JS, you can quickly develop rich desktop web applications that are compatible with all major browsers. This book will enable you to build databases using information from an existing database with Ext JS. It covers the MVC application architecture that enables development teams to work independently on one project. Additionally, the book teaches advanced charting capability, enabling developers to create state-of-the-art charts just once. These charts are compatible with major browsers without the need to rely on plugins. This hands-on, practical guide will take you through the mechanics of building an application. In this instance, we will use this application to manage existing data structures in the form of a database. You will begin by making SQL and tables in MySQL and will then move on to developing the project environment and introducing Sencha Cmd. You will learn to create a form to input data and monitor the state of the input, while seeing how Ext Direct will validate the form on the server side. Finally, you will have a working application that is ready for you to customize to suit your needs. You can also use it as a template for any future projects when you need a similar database.

Using Ext.util.History for directly accessing a screen


Ext.util.History manages the history. When a page changes, the application catches this change and then the Ext.util.History fires an event. Using this feature, we can control actions in our application.. For example, by using Ext.util.History, every time the application is accessed the dashboard URL is displayed.

Sometimes, when the user inputs an incorrect hash in the URL, the application will have trouble finding the page. However, with Ext.util.History, it goes to screens specified by the developer. For example, when we implement Ext.util.History, the user can access the quotation page directly without abnormal screen behavior. With Ext.util.History, it also allows us to attach the URL to an e-mail to access documents directly.

To begin with, you need to make the MyApp.util.History class. You might think it is an abstract class when you set eyes on it, actually, it is different. MyApp.util.History is a class used to incorporate URL...
