GeoExt 3

This is the first approach for an new geoext structure.

The goal is to implement upcoming geoext releases as an ExtJS-Package.

Initial Codesprint

To kickstart the new GeoExt 3 project it is planned to do a code sprint in Bonn from 17th to 19th of June 2015.

How to package GeoExt using sencha command

Install sencha cmd: http://www.sencha.com/products/sencha-cmd/#overview (tested with the version 6, only as preview right now).

To generate a package you usually first create a sencha workspace by issuing

$ sencha -sdk /path/to/ext-n.n.n generate workspace /path/to/workspace

Inside of the workspace clone the geoext3 repository into the packages subfolder:

$ cd /path/to/workspace/packages
$ git clone https://github.com/KaiVolland/geoext3.git GeoExt3
$ cd GeoExt3

Then you can issue

$ sencha package build

Alternatively, if your source isn't living inside of a sencha workspace, you can configure the path to a workspace and then build:

$ sencha config --prop workspace.config.dir=/path/to/workspace/.sencha/workspace then package build

Adding GeoExt to a local sencha repository

Initalize the local "GeoExt Contributors" repository:

$ sencha package repo init -name "GeoExt Contributors" -email "dev@geoext.org"

Add the package to this repository:

$ sencha package add /path/to/workspace/build/GeoExt/GeoExt.pkg 

To use this package in a sencha app just add "GeoExt" to the "requires"-array in your app.json:

    /**
     * The list of required packages (with optional versions; default is "latest").
     *
     * For example,
     *
     *      "requires": [
     *          "charts"
     *      ]
     */
    "requires": [
        "GeoExt"
    ],

In the future we will most probably host the package on a remote resource so that you can do:

#NOT WORKING AT THE MOMENT!
sencha package repo add GeoExt http://geoext.github.io/geoext3/repo

Examples

• Basic map panel
• Overview component
• Basic TreePanel
• Legends in Treepanels
• Basic print with Mapfish v3

Tests

In a clone of geoext3 install dependencies (only once) …

$ npm install

… then …

$ npm test

In a browser (where http://localhost/geoext3 points to the root of this repository) you can visit

http://localhost/geoext3/test/
