Ext JS iterator functions

examplesextjsarraysexampleui

Ext JS has a number of handy iterator functions. Some, like Ext.each, you probably already know about, but there are a few others lurking around which can be useful in saving yourself a few lines of code. First, let's recap Ext.each:

Ext.each

Ext.each applies a function to each member of an array. It's basically a more convenient form of a for loop:


var people = ['Bill', 'Saul', 'Gaius'];

//using each to detect Cylons:
Ext.each(people, function(person, index) {
  var cylon = (index + 1) % 2 == 0; //every second man is a toaster
  alert(person + (cylon ? ' is ' : ' is not ') + 'a fraking cylon');
});

//is the same as
for (var i=0; i < people.length; i++) {
  var person = people[i];
  var cylon = (i + 1) % 2 == 0; //every second man is a toaster

  alert(person + (cylon ? ' is ' : ' is not ') + 'a frakin cylon');
};
