Ext.CFC: Easing Integration with Ext and Adobe ColdFusion
Written by on December 10th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Ext.CFC isn’t about the greenhouse gasses, but instead abstracts out Ext components into the land of CFML:
“The Ext library is packed with tons of cool features, but like most CF programmers, I was initially interested in the Grid Panel. The Grid panel is implemented in ColdFusion 8 using the <cfgrid>, <cfgridcolumn>, and <cfgridrow> tags. Since I started this long before <cfgrid> was a thought, this code will obviously work in CF7.”
Currently the only abstraction is the Grid component, which allows you to do the following in CFML to create a rich grid:
-
-
extobj = createobject(”component”,extcfc).init();
-
extobj.initGrid(title=”messages”,path=’http://’&cgi.server_name&cgi.script_name&’?
-
action=getData’,root=’messages’,id=’id’,defaultSortColumn=form.sort,defaultSortOrder=form.dir);
-
extobj.initGridFooter();
-
//extobj.setGridCol(header=’Subject’,width=200,name=’subject’,render="String.format(’{0}‘, value)”,detailRender=”String.format(’{0}
-
{1}’, value, record.data[’body’])”);
-
extobj.setGridCol(header=’Subject’,width=200,name=’subject’);
-
extobj.setGridCol(header=’Sender’,width=150,name=’sender’);
-
extobj.setGridCol(header=’Sent’,width=150,name=’datetime’);
-
which creates:
Ah, now I can feel a little less guilty about how little we post on Coldfusion…. at least until Rey joined the fun!
