Overview
========
Ext.ux.Printer is a small library that provides a generic way of printing Ext Components (Grids, Trees, etc).
It consists of the main Printer class, and a number of Renderers, which each provide support for a given type of component.
Installation
============
Printer.js and renderers/Base.js are required:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Printer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="renderers/Base.js"></script>
The library currently comes with renderers for Ext.grid.GridPanel, and Ext.tree.ColumnTree. These can be included as required:
<script type="text/javascript" src="renderers/GridPanel.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="renderers/ColumnTree.js"></script>
Usage
=====
Ext.ux.Printer.print just take a single argument - a normal component instance. Use it like this:
var myGrid = new Ext.grid.GridPanel({
//your usual grid config here
});
var myTree = new Ext.tree.ColumnTree({
//your usual tree config here
})
Ext.ux.Printer.print(myGrid);
Ext.ux.Printer.print(myTree);
Each of the above examines the component you pass to the print function, and if a suitable renderer has been created
for it, the component is printed by opening a new window, writing some print-friendly HTML to it, and calling the
window's print function.
Currently supported components are:
Ext.grid.GridPanel
Ext.tree.ColumnTreePanel
To add support for another Component type, simply subclass Ext.ux.Printer.BaseRenderer (see the existing renderers for examples),
and register it with Ext.ux.Printer.registerRenderer('somextype', Ext.ux.Printer.SomeComponentRenderer).edspencer/Ext.ux.Printer
A generic printing class that assists with the printing of any Ext.Component
