Using Extjs4 in Front End

I was a big BackboneJS fan (and still is) until I discover Extjs4 in my new Job. I can only knock the hat over for what it can do! Now my question is whether it is possible (or recommended) to use Extjs in frontOffice without using its components. I only want to use both the MVC architecture it offers and the module loader feature. With spine, I am using AMD and require Js to load the module and it is painful and very difficult to create a production assembly. I'm also wondering if the next version of Extjs will have a JavaScript routing engine.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

  • It sounds great that you are a BackboneJS fan. To answer your question ... You can use ExtJS anywhere in your web application, making it a true cutting edge technology end user. You have already worked in Backbone and learned ExtJS. Let's first look at which one you need to use for your application: BackboneJS or ExtJS, because both are preliminary JS concepts.
  • For your second question, ExtJS uses a well structured MVC pattern for BackboneJS. You don't need to switch to ExtJS if you can create a Controller (Get Components) control in BackboneJS. My suggestion is to go with ExtJS.
  • The ExtJS sencha forum is really good to read more about their component reference and raise bugs and request any new javascript routing engine as you mentioned.
