ExtJS grab JSON result



I'm generating JSON response from PHP witch looks like this:







{ done:'1', options: [{ message:'Example message'},{message:'This is the 2nd example message'}]}







I want to grab these results using ExtJS. This is what I have so far:







Ext.Ajax.request({

loadMask: true,

url: 'myfile.php',

params: {id: "1"}

});







What do I have to write next to get the json results like this:







var mymessages = jsonData.options;







And mymessages should contain Example message and This is the 2nd example message.





Thank you.

  1. The straightforward approach:

    Ext.Ajax.request({
    loadMask: true,
    url: 'myfile.php',
    params: {id: "1"},
    success: function(resp) {
    // resp is the XmlHttpRequest object
    var options = Ext.decode(resp.responseText).options;

    Ext.each(options, function(op) {
    alert(op.message);
    }
    }
    });


    Or you could do it in a more Ext-ish way using Store:

    var messages = new Ext.data.JsonStore({
    url: 'myfile.php',
    root: 'options',
    fields: [
    {name: 'text', mapping: 'message'}
    ],
    listeners: {
    load: messagesLoaded
    }
    });
    messages.load({params: {id: "1"}});

    // and when loaded, you can take advantage of
    // all the possibilities provided by Store
    function messagesLoaded(messages) {
    messages.each(function(msg){
    alert(msg.get("text"));
    });
    }


    One more example to address the last comment:

    var messages = [{title: "1"},{title: "2"},{title: "3"}];

    var titles = msg;
    Ext.each(messages, function(msg){
    titles.push(msg.title);
    });
    alert(titles.join(", "));


    Although I would prefer doing it with a Array.map (which isn't provided by Ext):

    var text = messages.map(function(msg){
    return msg.title;
    }).join(", ");
    alert(text);

  2. Use the success and failure properties:

    Ext.Ajax.request({
    loadMask: true,
    url: 'myfile.php',
    params: {id: "1"},
    success: function(response, callOptions) {
    // Use the response
    },
    failure: function(response, callOptions) {
    // Use the response
    }
    });


    See the Ext API docs for more details

  3. if you are sure that your input is correct (beware of xss attacks) you can use the eval() function to make your javascript object from your json result, which can then be accessed through your command:

    var mymessages = jsonData.options;


    But then again, Ext does that nicely for you, as Rene has pointed out through the Ext.decode function

Wildcards in a hosts file

I want to setup my local development machine so that any requests for *.local are redirected to localhost . The idea is that as I develop multiple sites, I can just add vhosts to Apache called site1.local , site2.local etc, and have them all resolve to localhost , while Apache serves a different site accordingly.
