Seems like i have some misunderstanding with binding timings. I have a simple bobox with value binded to some object in viewmodel. Selecting new value, firing change event, which fired after setValue method, so my new value is already set, but my viewmodel is not updated yet. When my viewmodel will be updated? I found some information about scheduler, which says i need to run notify() method to immediately apply changes to viewmodel, but it doesn't help me at all.
Ext.define('MyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
idProperty: 'foo',
fields: [{
name: 'bar',
type: 'string'
}]
});
Ext.define('MyViewModel',{
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.my',
data: {
testObj: {
foo: null,
bar: null
}
},
stores:{
bostore: {
model: 'MyModel',
data: [{
foo: '1',
bar: 'qwerty'
},{
foo: '2',
bar: 'ytrewq'
}]
}
}
});
Ext.define('MyViewController', {
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewController',
alias: 'controller.my',
onChange: function() {
var vm = this.getViewModel();
vm.notify();
console.log(vm.get('testObj.foo'));//supposed to be current value
}
});
Ext.application({
name : 'Fiddle',
launch : function() {
Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
controller: 'my',
viewModel: {
type: 'my'
},
layout : 'vbox',
items : [
{
xtype : 'bo',
valueField: 'foo',
displayField: 'bar',
queryMode: 'local',
bind: {
store: '{bostore}',
value: '{testObj.foo}'
},
listeners:{
change: 'onChange'
}
}
]
});
}
});
Here's fiddle aswell:

vm.notify() won't do its job synchronously. Note that adding delay: 1 option to the listeners config does the trick, even vm.notify() bees redundant.

delay: 1 it should ring all bells you are doing something wrong. The same for calling notify() in this way..

autoSync config to false. You may have to set it to true for the boStore in your viewModel? | 2. You should not test the store in the onChange event of your bo because the bo hasn't the time to synchronize your store... | Remark: in extjs, you don't change the bo value, but the store content, so if you want to check any change in your bo, test it in its store

I know it is a late response, however I think this problem is still relevant. See this fiddle: https://fiddle.sencha./#fiddle/2l6m&view/editor.
Essentially the idea is that you listen to the bound variables changes instead of listening to the bobox selection change (which triggers the re-evaluation of the bound variables).
The key code is in the constructor I added for the view model:
Ext.define('MyViewModel',{
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.my',
// added this to enable the binding
constructor: function () {
var me = this;
me.callParent(arguments);
me.bind('{selectedItem}', function (value) {
console.log('bobox selected item changed (bar value): ' + (value === null ? "null": value.get('bar')));
console.log(me.getView().getController());
});
me.bind('{testObj.foo}', function (value) {
console.log('bobox value (foo value): ' + value);
// you can access the controller
console.log(me.getView().getController());
});
},
data: {
testObj: {
foo: null,
bar: null
},
selectedItem: null,
},
stores:{
bostore: {
model: 'MyModel',
data: [{
foo: '1',
bar: 'qwerty'
},{
foo: '2',
bar: 'ytrewq'
}]
}
}
});
and here is the view (note the binding to the selection):
Ext.application({
name : 'Fiddle',
launch : function() {
Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
controller: 'my',
viewModel: {
type: 'my'
},
layout : 'vbox',
items : [
{
xtype : 'bo',
valueField: 'foo',
displayField: 'bar',
queryMode: 'local',
bind: {
store: '{bostore}',
value: '{testObj.foo}',
selection: '{selectedItem}'
},
listeners:{
change: 'onChange'
}
}
]
});
}
});
Binding the selection was not necessary but I included it anyway as another option because sometimes you may want to store additional data in the store that is bound to the list.
I hope this helps others.
You should not call notify directly on the viewmodel. It's private: http://docs.sencha./extjs/5.0/5.0.1-apidocs/#!/api/Ext.app.ViewModel-method-notify
Just set the data by calling vm.setData({}).
onChange: function(cb, newValue, oldValue) {
var vm = this.getViewModel();
console.log('newValue', newValue);
console.log('oldValue', oldValue);
this.getViewModel().setData({'testObj': {'foo': newValue}});
console.log(vm.get('testObj.foo'));//supposed to be current value
}
Never the less you could consider the following example, where I use a formula to get the selected model of the bobox. See that I removed the listener, added a reference to the bobox and created a formula to bind deep onto the selected record.
Ext.define('MyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
idProperty: 'foo',
fields: [{
name: 'bar',
type: 'string'
}]
});
Ext.define('MyViewModel',{
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewModel',
alias: 'viewmodel.my',
data: {
testObj: {
foo: null,
bar: null
}
},
stores:{
bostore: {
model: 'MyModel',
data: [{
foo: '1',
bar: 'qwerty'
},{
foo: '2',
bar: 'ytrewq'
}]
}
},
formulas: {
currentRecord: {
bind: {
bindTo: '{myCombo.selection}',
deep: true
},
get: function(record) {
return record;
},
set: function(record) {
this.set('currentRecord', record);
}
}
}
});
Ext.define('MyViewController', {
extend: 'Ext.app.ViewController',
alias: 'controller.my',
onChange: function(cb, newValue, oldValue) {
var vm = this.getViewModel();
console.log('newValue', newValue);
console.log('oldValue', oldValue);
this.getViewModel().setData({'testObj': {'foo': newValue}});
console.log(vm.get('testObj.foo'));//supposed to be current value
}
});
Ext.application({
name : 'Fiddle',
launch : function() {
var vp = Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
controller: 'my',
viewModel: {
type: 'my'
},
layout : 'vbox',
items : [
{
xtype : 'bo',
reference: 'myCombo',
valueField: 'foo',
displayField: 'bar',
queryMode: 'local',
bind: {
store: '{bostore}',
value: '{testObj.foo}'
}/*,
listeners:{
change: 'onChange'
}*/
},
{
xtype: 'label',
bind: {
text: '{currentRecord.foo}'
}
}
]
});
/* Just an example. You could also select records on the bo itself */
vp.getViewModel().setData({'testObj': {'foo': '2'}});
}
});
Defer would be your savior:
onChange: function() {
var vm = this.getViewModel();
Ext.defer(function(){
console.log(vm.get('testObj.foo'));//supposed to be current value
},10,this);
}
Please use select event instead of change.
I think change event fires even before value is set.
