I use mon when I need to listen to an event on something like an element.

I wish to read more things about it! Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Very helpful info specifically the last part :)

My understanding is that if we use mon, then we are not required to un (or free or destroy), ie we could drop the beforeDestroy logic. So why would you choose to write the on/un pair instead of a single mon in construction?

My guess is that if I knew more about managed listeners I would be able to invent something that fit the “depends on what you want to do” bill.

This stuff goes on forever. Your blogs help a lot.

Porting it to Sencha Touch 2 should be pretty similar but I have not looked at this yet.

I saw this blog post and got all excited, especially since I am having this exact issue with associated models. However, my excitement soon turned to disappointment when I realized that the loadRawData method is NOT available in ST 2.1.1 … any suggestions on a solution to this problem for this platform?

Danke Schoen!

I was thinking about the idea of having two stores – one for AddressBooks, and one for Contacts, with some way of linking the two… much like you would design a DB with two tables. If you wanted the app to also store the make, model and colour of the car(s) each contact owned, then this would add another dimension (so another table in the DB analogy). I’m just trying to figure out best-practice way of handling these kind of multi-dimensional datasets in Sencha (i’m using Touch, but I guess the same applies to EXT JS).

I would think it would be quite safe to use them.

I’m interested in your example of address book with associated users, as it’s similar to something i’m working on.
In the JSON, every user has user ID 1 (Mitchell) in his address book. This means that the data for Mitchell is being duplicated for every instance it appears (whereas all we actually need is the ID in order to reference Mitchell’s contact info.
Is there a more efficient way of doing this? I can see the JSON file growing unnecessarily large once a few of these associations are in place… especially if each contact has a lot of data
