Ext.onReady(function(){
E
Ext.define('Book',{
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
X // set up the fields mapping into the xml doc
// The first needs mapping, the others are very basic
{name: 'Author', mapping: 'ItemAttributes > Author'},
T });
'Title', 'Manufacturer', 'ProductGroup']
JS
// create the Data Store
var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
model: 'Book',
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
// load using HTTP
F type: 'ajax',
url: 'sheldon.xml',
R
// the return will be XML, so lets set up a reader
reader: {
type: 'xml',
A // records will have an "Item" tag
record: 'Item',
idProperty: 'ASIN',
M }
totalRecords: '@total'
E
}
});
// create the grid
W var grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
store: store,
columns: [
O {text: "Author", flex: 1, dataIndex: 'Author', sortable: true},
