Class Ext.Container

Package:	Ext
Defined In:	Container.js
Class:	Container
Subclasses:	Panel, Viewport
Extends:	BoxComponent

Base class for any Ext.BoxComponent that can contain other components. This class is intended to be extended and should generally not need to be created directly via the new keyword. Ext.Panel, Ext.Window and Ext.TabPanel are the most commonly used Container classes.

Containers handle the basic behavior of containing items, namely adding, inserting and removing them. The specific layout logic required to visually render contained items is delegated to any one of the different layout classes available.

When either specifying child items of a Container, or dynamically adding components to a Container, remember to consider how you wish the Container to arrange those child elements, and whether those child elements need to be sized using one of Ext's built-in layout schemes.

By default, Containers use the ContainerLayout scheme. This simply renders child components, appending them one after the other inside the Container, and does not apply any sizing at all. This is a common source of confusion when widgets like GridPanels or TreePanels are added to Containers for which no layout has been specified. If a Container is left to use the ContainerLayout scheme, none of its child components will be resized, or changed in any way when the Container is resized.

A very common example of this is where a developer will attempt to add a GridPanel to a TabPanel by wrapping the GridPanel inside a wrapping Panel and add that wrapping Panel to the TabPanel. This misses the point that Ext's inheritance means that a GridPanel is a Component which can be added unadorned into a Container. If that wrapping Panel has no layout configuration, then the GridPanel will not be sized as expected.

Below is an example of adding a newly created GridPanel to a TabPanel. A TabPanel uses Ext.layout.CardLayout as its layout manager which means all its child items are sized to fit exactly into its client area. The following code requires prior knowledge of how to create GridPanels. See Ext.grid.GridPanel, Ext.data.Store and Ext.data.JsonReader as well as the grid examples in the Ext installation's examples/grid directory.

//  Create the GridPanel.
myGrid = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({
    store: myStore,
    columns: myColumnModel,
    title: 'Results',
});

myTabPanel.add(myGrid);
myTabPanel.setActiveItem(myGrid);

Config Options

Config Options		Defined By
	activeItem : String/Number A string component id or the numeric index of the component that should be initially activated within the container's... A string component id or the numeric index of the component that should be initially activated within the container's layout on render. For example, activeItem: 'item-1' or activeItem: 0 (index 0 = the first item in the container's collection). activeItem only applies to layout styles that can display items one at a time (like Ext.layout.Accordion, Ext.layout.CardLayout and Ext.layout.FitLayout). Related to Ext.layout.ContainerLayout.activeItem.	Container
	allowDomMove : Boolean Whether the component can move the Dom node when rendering (defaults to true).	Component
	applyTo : Mixed The id of the node, a DOM node or an existing Element corresponding to a DIV that is already present in the document ... The id of the node, a DOM node or an existing Element corresponding to a DIV that is already present in the document that specifies some structural markup for this component. When applyTo is used, constituent parts of the component can also be specified by id or CSS class name within the main element, and the component being created may attempt to create its subcomponents from that markup if applicable. Using this config, a call to render() is not required. If applyTo is specified, any value passed for renderTo will be ignored and the target element's parent node will automatically be used as the component's container.	Component
	autoDestroy : Boolean If true the container will automatically destroy any contained component that is removed from it, else destruction mu... If true the container will automatically destroy any contained component that is removed from it, else destruction must be handled manually (defaults to true).	Container

A tag name or DomHelper spec to create an element with. This is intended to create shorthand utility components inline via JSON. It should not be used for higher level components which already create their own elements. Example usage: `{xtype:'box', autoEl: 'div', cls:'my-class'} {xtype:'box', autoEl: {tag:'blockquote', html:'autoEl is cool!'}} // with DomHelper`	Component
	autoHeight : Boolean True to use height:'auto', false to use fixed height. Note: although many components inherit this config option, not ... True to use height:'auto', false to use fixed height. Note: although many components inherit this config option, not all will function as expected with a height of 'auto'. (defaults to false).	BoxComponent
	autoShow : Boolean True if the component should check for hidden classes (e.g. 'x-hidden' or 'x-hide-display') and remove them on render... True if the component should check for hidden classes (e.g. 'x-hidden' or 'x-hide-display') and remove them on render (defaults to false).	Component
	autoWidth : Boolean True to use width:'auto', false to use fixed width. Note: although many components inherit this config option, not al... True to use width:'auto', false to use fixed width. Note: although many components inherit this config option, not all will function as expected with a width of 'auto'. (defaults to false).	BoxComponent

When set to true (100 milliseconds) or a number of milliseconds, the layout assigned for this container will buffer the frequency it calculates and does a re-layout of components. This is useful for heavy containers or containers with a large quantity of sub-components for which frequent layout calls would be expensive.	Container

An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's Element (defaults to ''). This can be useful for adding customized styles to the component or any of its children using standard CSS rules.	Component

An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's container (defaults to ''). This can be useful for adding customized styles to the container or any of its children using standard CSS rules.	Component

The default xtype of child Components to create in this Container when a child item is specified as a raw configuration object, rather than as an instantiated Component. This usually defaults to 'panel', but for Ext.form.FormPanel and Ext.form.FieldSet, the defaultType is 'textfield'.	Container
	defaults : Object A config object that will be applied to all components added to this container either via the items config or via the... A config object that will be applied to all components added to this container either via the items config or via the add or insert methods. The defaults config can contain any number of name/value property pairs to be added to each item, and should be valid for the types of items being added to the container. For example, to automatically apply padding to the body of each of a set of contained Ext.Panel items, you could pass: defaults: {bodyStyle:'padding:15px'}.	Container
	disabled : Boolean Render this component disabled (default is false).	Component
	disabledClass : String CSS class added to the component when it is disabled (defaults to "x-item-disabled").	Component
	height : Number The height of this component in pixels (defaults to auto).	BoxComponent

True to hide and show the component's container when hide/show is called on the component, false to hide and show the component itself (defaults to false). For example, this can be used as a shortcut for a hide button on a window by setting hide:true on the button when adding it to its parent container.	Component
	id : String The unique id of this component (defaults to an auto-assigned id).	Component
	items : Mixed A single item, or an array of child Components to be added to this container. Each item can be any type of object bas... A single item, or an array of child Components to be added to this container. Each item can be any type of object based on Ext.Component. Component config objects may also be specified in order to avoid the overhead of constructing a real Component object if lazy rendering might mean that the added Component will not be rendered immediately. To take advantage of this "lazy instantiation", set the Ext.Component.xtype config property to the registered type of the Component wanted. For a list of all available xtypes, see Ext.Component. If a single item is being passed, it should be passed directly as an object reference (e.g., items: {...}). Multiple items should be passed as an array of objects (e.g., items: [{...}, {...}]).	Container
	layout : String The layout type to be used in this container. If not specified, a default Ext.layout.ContainerLayout will be created ... The layout type to be used in this container. If not specified, a default Ext.layout.ContainerLayout will be created and used. Valid values are: absolute, accordion, anchor, border, card, column, fit, form and table. Specific config values for the chosen layout type can be specified using layoutConfig.	Container

This is a config object containing properties specific to the chosen layout (to be used in conjunction with the layout config value). For complete details regarding the valid config options for each layout type, see the layout class corresponding to the type specified: Ext.layout.Absolute Ext.layout.Accordion Ext.layout.AnchorLayout Ext.layout.BorderLayout Ext.layout.CardLayout Ext.layout.ColumnLayout Ext.layout.FitLayout Ext.layout.FormLayout Ext.layout.TableLayout	Container
	listeners : Object A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should b... A config object containing one or more event handlers to be added to this object during initialization. This should be a valid listeners config object as specified in the addListener example for attaching multiple handlers at once.	Observable
	monitorResize : Boolean True to automatically monitor window resize events to handle anything that is sensitive to the current size of the vi... True to automatically monitor window resize events to handle anything that is sensitive to the current size of the viewport. This value is typically managed by the chosen layout and should not need to be set manually.	Container
	overCls : String An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's Element when the mouse moves over the Element, and... An optional extra CSS class that will be added to this component's Element when the mouse moves over the Element, and removed when the mouse moves out. (defaults to ''). This can be useful for adding customized "active" or "hover" styles to the component or any of its children using standard CSS rules.	Component
	pageX : Number The page level x coordinate for this component if contained within a positioning container.	BoxComponent
	pageY : Number The page level y coordinate for this component if contained within a positioning container.	BoxComponent
	plugins : Object/Array An object or array of objects that will provide custom functionality for this component. The only requirement for a v... An object or array of objects that will provide custom functionality for this component. The only requirement for a valid plugin is that it contain an init method that accepts a reference of type Ext.Component. When a component is created, if any plugins are available, the component will call the init method on each plugin, passing a reference to itself. Each plugin can then call methods or respond to events on the component as needed to provide its functionality.	Component
	renderTo : Mixed The id of the node, a DOM node or an existing Element that will be the container to render this component into. Using... The id of the node, a DOM node or an existing Element that will be the container to render this component into. Using this config, a call to render() is not required.	Component

An array of events that, when fired, should trigger this component to save its state (defaults to none). These can be any types of events supported by this component, including browser or custom events (e.g., ['click', 'customerchange']). See stateful for an explanation of saving and restoring Component state.	Component
	stateId : String The unique id for this component to use for state management purposes (defaults to the component id). See stateful fo... The unique id for this component to use for state management purposes (defaults to the component id). See stateful for an explanation of saving and restoring Component state.	Component
	stateful : Boolean A flag which causes the Component to attempt to restore the state of internal properties from a saved state on startu... A flag which causes the Component to attempt to restore the state of internal properties from a saved state on startup. For state saving to work, the state manager's provider must have been set to an implementation of Ext.state.Provider which overrides the set and get methods to save and recall name/value pairs. A built-in implementation, Ext.state.CookieProvider is available. To set the state provider for the current page: `Ext.state.Manager.setProvider(new Ext.state.CookieProvider());` Components attempt to save state when one of the events listed in the stateEvents configuration fires. You can perform extra processing on state save and restore by attaching handlers to the beforestaterestore, staterestore, beforestatesave and statesave events	Component
	style : String A custom style specification to be applied to this component's Element. Should be a valid argument to Ext.Element.app... A custom style specification to be applied to this component's Element. Should be a valid argument to Ext.Element.applyStyles.	Component
	width : Number The width of this component in pixels (defaults to auto).	BoxComponent
	x : Number The local x (left) coordinate for this component if contained within a positioning container.	BoxComponent
	xtype : String The registered xtype to create. This config option is not used when passing a config object into a constructor. This ... The registered xtype to create. This config option is not used when passing a config object into a constructor. This config option is used only when lazy instantiation is being used, and a child item of a Container is being specified not as a fully instantiated Component, but as a Component config object. The xtype will be looked up at render time up to determine what type of child Component to create. The predefined xtypes are listed here. If you subclass Components to create your own Components, you may register them using Ext.ComponentMgr.registerType in order to be able to take advantage of lazy instantiation and rendering.	Component
	y : Number The local y (top) coordinate for this component if contained within a positioning container.	BoxComponent

Adds a Component to this Container. Fires the beforeadd event before adding, then fires the add event after the component has been added. You will never call the render method of a child Component when using a Container. Child Components are rendered by this Container's layout manager when this Container is first rendered. Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components. Those that do include Ext.layout.CardLayout, Ext.layout.AnchorLayout, Ext.layout.FormLayout, Ext.layout.TableLayout. If the Container is already rendered when add is called, you may need to call doLayout to refresh the view which causes any unrendered child Components to be rendered. This is required so that you can add multiple child components if needed while only refreshing the layout once. When creating complex UIs, it is important to remember that sizing and positioning of child items is the responsibility of the Container's layout manager. If you expect child items to be sized in response to user interactions, you must specify a layout manager which creates and manages the type of layout you have in mind. Omitting the layout config means that a basic layout manager is used which does nothnig but render child components sequentially into the Container. No sizing or positioning will be performed in this situation. Parameters: `component` : Ext.Component/Object The Component to add. Ext uses lazy rendering, and will only render the added Component should it become necessary, that is: when the Container is layed out either on first render or in response to a doLayout call. A Component config object may be passed instead of an instantiated Component object. The type of Component created from a config object is determined by the xtype config property. If no xtype is configured, the Container's defaultType is used. For a list of all available xtypes, see Ext.Component. Returns: `Ext.Component` component The Component (or config object) that was added with the Container's default config values applied. example: `var myNewGrid = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({ store: myStore, colModel: myColModel }); myTabPanel.add(myNewGrid); myTabPanel.setActiveTab(myNewGrid);`	Container

The handler function's "this" context. `options` : Object (optional) An object containing handler configuration properties. This may contain any of the following properties: scope : Object The scope in which to execute the handler function. The handler function's "this" context. delay : Number The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires. single : Boolean True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself. buffer : Number Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place. Combining Options Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners: A normalized, delayed, one-time listener that auto stops the event and passes a custom argument (forumId) `el.on('click', this.onClick, this, { single: true, delay: 100, forumId: 4 });` Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers. `foo.on({ 'click' : { fn: this.onClick, scope: this, delay: 100 }, 'mouseover' : { fn: this.onMouseOver, scope: this }, 'mouseout' : { fn: this.onMouseOut, scope: this } });` Or a shorthand syntax: `foo.on({ 'click' : this.onClick, 'mouseover' : this.onMouseOver, 'mouseout' : this.onMouseOut, scope: this });` Returns: `void`	Observable

	render( [`Element/HTMLElement/String container`], [`String/Number position`] ) : void Render this Components into the passed HTML element. If you are using a Container object to house this Component, the... Render this Components into the passed HTML element. If you are using a Container object to house this Component, then do not use the render method. A Container's child Components are rendered by that Container's layout manager when the Container is first rendered. Certain layout managers allow dynamic addition of child components. Those that do include Ext.layout.CardLayout, Ext.layout.AnchorLayout, Ext.layout.FormLayout, Ext.layout.TableLayout. If the Container is already rendered when a new child Component is added, you may need to call the Container's doLayout to refresh the view which causes any unrendered child Components to be rendered. This is required so that you can add multiple child components if needed while only refreshing the layout once. When creating complex UIs, it is important to remember that sizing and positioning of child items is the responsibility of the Container's layout manager. If you expect child items to be sized in response to user interactions, you must configure the Container with a layout manager which creates and manages the type of layout you have in mind. Omitting the Container's layout config means that a basic layout manager is used which does nothnig but render child components sequentially into the Container. No sizing or positioning will be performed in this situation. Parameters: `container` : Element/HTMLElement/String (optional) The element this Component should be rendered into. If it is being created from existing markup, this should be omitted. `position` : String/Number (optional) The element ID or DOM node index within the container before which this component will be inserted (defaults to appending to the end of the container) Returns: `void`	Component
