This document discusses how to build applications that combine Ext JS components with Angular 2. It provides an overview of the new Angular 2 bridge for Ext JS, which allows Ext JS grids, trees, charts and other components to be used in Angular 2 apps. It demonstrates how to create Angular 2 components that utilize Ext JS components like grids, select fields and charts. It also shows how to create non-visual Ext JS classes like stores that can be used by the Angular 2 application. The document concludes with a demo of a sample Angular 2 application integrated with Ext JS.

1. Want to Use Ext JS Components with
Angular 2?
Here’s How to Increase the Power
of Your Apps!

2. Have you ever wished you could use Sencha’s powerful Ext JS components in your
Angular 2 apps? Now you can. Learn about the new bridge we’ve created that
enables you to use the Ext JS grid, treegrid, pivot grid, calendar, charts, and other
components in your Angular 2 based apps.
We’ve integrated the frameworks, so Ext JS components recognize the Angular 2
directives and appropriately respond to events. If you’re an Angular 2 user, there is
no reason why you can’t use it to assemble the basic building blocks of an app and
then add the powerful Ext JS components to complete your data-centric, cross-
platform applications.
Come to this session to learn how to build a data-intensive, cross-platform app with
Ext JS 6.2 and Angular 2.

What Will We Be Doing?

3. So What is the Angular 2 Bridge for Ext JS?
• Enables the use of Ext JS Components, Layouts, Ext JS Classes within Angular 2
• Currently in Preview (no code available yet)
• Still need tooling (Sencha Cmd support)
• Works with Modern Toolkit
• Uses Ext JS Theme (no tooling currently)
• We need your feedback on this! marc.gusmano@sencha.com

4. Starter Options for an Angular 2 Application
• Angular.io – getting started https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html
• Angular-cli https://cli.angular.io/
• Reddit – helpful GitHub repos https://www.reddit.com/r/Angular2/

5. Demo –
Angular-cli

6. import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'simple',
template: `
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<button
class="theButton"
[disabled]="isDisabled"
(click)="onClick($event)">
{{title}}
</button>
`,
styles: [`
.theButton {
font-size: 32px;
}
`]
})
export class SimpleComponent {
title = 'app works!';
isDisabled = false;
private onClick(event) {
console.log(event)
this.title = 'I was clicked and disabled';
this.isDisabled = true;
}
}
An Angular2 Component
using TypeScript
(Angular 2 – 101)
• import
• @component
- selector, template, styles
- templateUrl, stylesUrl
• export class
• [name] is syntax for a property
• (name) is syntax for an event
• {{name}} is binding syntax

7. Demo –
a simple Angular 2 component

8. if (o.alias != undefined &&
o.alias.substring(0, 6) == 'widget' &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('.') == -1 &&
o.alias.indexOf('actionsheet') == -1 &&
o.alias.indexOf('audio') == -1 &&
o.alias.indexOf('axis') == -1 &&
o.alias.indexOf('carouselindicator') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('item') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('cell') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('column') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('row') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('sparkline') == -1 &&
o.alias.substring(7).indexOf('pivotconfig') == -1 &&
o.alias.indexOf(',') == -1
)

All ‘primary’ Visual Components, except for…

9. import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: '',
styles: [``],
template: `
<x-grid fitToParent=true
[config]="gridConfig">
</x-grid>
`
})
export class BridgeHomeComponent {
gridConfig= {
title: 'Bridge Home',
columns: [
{text:'Name', width:100, dataIndex:'name'},
{text:'Email Address', flex:1, dataIndex:'email'},
{text:'Phone Number', width:150, dataIndex:'phone'}
],
store: {
fields: ['name', 'email', 'phone'],
data: [
{name:'Lisa', email:'lisa@simpsons.com', phone:'555-111-1224'},
{name:'Bart', email:'bart@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1234'},
{name:'Homer', email:'homer@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1244'},
{name:'Marge', email:'marge@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1254'}
]
}
};
}
An Angular2 Component
that uses the Ext JS Grid
• x- is the prefix for an Ext JS
component
• Following the x- is the xtype (x-grid)
• General property called [config]
- All components have this property
• Also all have fitToParent property
• Also all have (ready) event

10. import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: '',
styles: [``],
template: `
<x-grid fitToParent=true
[columns]="gridcolumns"
[store]="gridstore"
(select)="onGridSelect($event)"
(activate)="onGridActivate($event)"
(ready)="gridReady($event)">
</x-grid>
`
})
export class BridgeHomeComponent {
gridcolumns = [
{text:'Name', width:100, dataIndex:'name'},
{text:'Email Address', flex:1, dataIndex:'email'},
{text:'Phone Number', width:150, dataIndex:'phone'}
];
gridstore = {
fields: ['name', 'email', 'phone'],
data: [
{name:'Lisa', email:'lisa@simpsons.com', phone:'555-111-1224'},
{name:'Bart', email:'bart@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1234'},
{name:'Homer', email:'homer@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1244'},
{name:'Marge', email:'marge@simpsons.com', phone:'555-222-1254'}
]
};
private onGridSelect({record}) {alert(record.data.name);}
private onGridActivate(event) {console.log(event);}
private onGridReady(theGrid) {console.log(theGrid.x);}
}
An Angular2 Component
that uses the Ext JS Grid
• All components have an Angular 2
property for each Ext JS config
- For example: [columns]
• All events are also available
- For example: (select)
• (ready) event is used to extract the
underlying Ext JS component
- Available as the ‘x’ property of the passed
parameter

11. Demo –
Ext JS Grid in Angular 2

12. @Component({
selector: '',
styles: [``],
template: `
<x-container fitToParent=true [layout]="'vbox'">
<x-panel [margin]="'20 20 20 20'" [title]="header">
<x-selectfield
[config]="selectfieldConfig"
[options]='selectfieldOptions'
(change)='onSelectfieldSelect($event)'>
</x-selectfield>
</x-panel>
<x-pivotgrid
[flex]="'1'"
[title] ='pivotTitle'
[config]='pivotgridConfig'
(ready)="readyPivotGrid($event)"
(pivotdone)="onPivotgridPivotDone($event)">
</x-pivotgrid>
<x-cartesian
[flex]="'1'”
[config]='cartesianConfig'
(ready)="readyCartesian($event)">
</x-cartesian>
</x-container>
`
})
Using the Ext JS Layout System
• vbox, hbox, flex, etc.
• Containment (the ‘items’ collection)

13. import {xclass} from 'angular2-extjs';
export class SalesStore extends xclass {
constructor (createConfig: any) {
let className: any = 'SalesStore';
let extend: any = 'Ext.data.ArrayStore';
let defineConfig: any = {
alias: 'store.sales',
autoLoad: true,
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
url: 'assets/sales.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'rows'
}
},
filters: [
function(item) {
return item.get('year') >= 2012;
}
],
fields: [
{name: 'orderid', type: 'int'},
{name: 'salesperson', type: 'string'},
{name: 'country', type: 'string'},
{name: 'orderdate', type: 'date', dateFormat: 'd/m/Y'},
{name: 'amount', type: 'int'}
]
};
super(className, extend, defineConfig, createConfig);
return;
}
}
Creating non-visual components
(like stores and models)
• Import ‘xclass’
• Extend ‘xclass’
• Populate ‘className’
• Populate ‘extend’
• Populate 'defineConfig’
• Call the ‘xclass’ base class
