elmasse-bundle

Ext.i18n.Bundle as a Sencha Cmd Package.

Install

The latest stable version is available thru a Sencha Cmd repository located at elmasse.github.io/cmd/pkgs

Add the repo to Sencha Cmd

You have to tell Sencha Cmd where to check for new pacakge versions. For elmasse-bundle you need to add the repository as follows:

sencha repo add elmasse http://elmasse.github.io/cmd/pkgs

Using the package

Once the repository is added to the list, you can declare your dependency on your Sencha Cmd project. Locate the app.json file and the elmasse-bundle package to the requires list:

    "requires": [
        "elmasse-bundle"
    ]

Now you just need to refresh the application, and the package will be installed.

sencha app refresh

Using the package locally

You can as well use the latest version from this repository:

• Clone this repo
• Rename the folder to elmasse-bundle
• Copy the folder under packages in your app
• Modify the app.json and include the elmasse-bundle into the requires list.
• Run sencha app refresh

Example

You can see a working example under the examples folder.

Usage

• First add Bundle to requires on Ext.application as shown in (1)

• Declare the bundle configuration (2)

• Call bundle.getMsg with your bundle key (3). bundle is available from the application instance which is available under the appName.getApplication() method.

    Ext.application({
        name: 'AppTest',
        requires: ['Ext.i18n.Bundle'], //1
  
        //2
        bundle: {
            bundle: 'Application',
            lang: 'en-US',
            path: 'resources',
            noCache: true
        },
  
        launch: function(){
            Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel',{
                renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
                tbar: Ext.create('Ext.toolbar.Toolbar',{
                    items: [{text: 'text'}]
                }),
                items:[{
                    height: 300,
                    html: AppTest.getApplication().bundle.getMsg('panel.html') //3
                }]
            });
        }   
    });
  

Using json files as bundles

Now you can choose between .properties and .json files. You can specify which one to use by using the format parameter in bundle configuration:

    Ext.application({
        name: 'AppTest',
        requires: ['Ext.i18n.Bundle'],

        bundle: {
            bundle: 'Application',
            lang: 'en-US',
            path: 'resources',
            noCache: true,
            format: 'json' //json format!
        },

        launch: function(){
            Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel',{
                renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
                tbar: Ext.create('Ext.toolbar.Toolbar',{
                    items: [{text: 'text'}]
                }),
                items:[{
                    height: 300,
                    html: AppTest.getApplication().bundle.getMsg('panel.html')
                }]
            });
        }   
    });

As you can imagine the keys must match json keys structure, so for panel.html you must have a json response like this:

    {
        "panel":{
            "html" : "Hello from JSON file!"
        }
    }

##Lazy Definition We can use the lazy definition so the bundle keys are defined into the views. Just use a plain object with the type: bundle and a key.

    Ext.application({
        name: 'AppTest',
        requires: ['Ext.i18n.Bundle'],

        bundle: {
            bundle: 'Application',
            lang: 'en-US',
            path: 'resources',
            noCache: true,
            format: 'json' //json format!
        },

        launch: function(){
            Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel',{
                renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
                tbar: Ext.create('Ext.toolbar.Toolbar',{
                    items: [{text: 'text'}]
                }),
                items:[{
                    height: 300,
                    html: { type: 'bundle', key: 'panel.html' }
                }]
            });
        }   
    });
