Extjs validate in separate files - validation

Question

I'm trying to validate fields in my form, but I keep getting an error message.
Here is my code:
Ext.define('ExtDoc.views.extfields.FieldsValidator',{
valEng: function(val) {
var engTest = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/;
Ext.apply(Ext.form.field.VTypes, {
eng: function(val, field) {
return engTest.test(val);
},
engText: 'Write it in English Please',
// vtype Mask property: The keystroke filter mask
engMask: /[a-zA-Z0-9_\u0600-\u06FF\s]/i
});
}
});
And I define my field as follow:
{
"name": "tik_moed_chasifa",
"type": "ExtDoc.views.extfields.ExtDocTextField",
"label": "moed_hasifa",
"vtype": "eng",
"msgTarget": "under"
}
The first snippet is in a separate js file, and I have it in my fields js file as required.
When I start typing text in the text field, I keep seeing the following error msg in the explorer debugger:
"SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'eng' "
What could it be? Have I declared something wrong?

Answer 1

You have defined your own class with a function valEng(val), but you don't instantiate it, neither do you call the function anywhere.
Furthermore, your function valEng(val) does not require a parameter, because you are not using that parameter anywhere.
It would be far easier and more readable, would you remove the Ext.define part and create the validators right where you need them. For instance if you need them inside an initComponent function:
initComponent:function() {
var me = this;
Ext.apply(Ext.form.field.VTypes, {
mobileNumber:function(val, field) {
var numeric = /^[0-9]+$/
if(!Ext.String.startsWith(val,'+')) return false;
if(!numeric.test(val.substring(1))) return false;
return true;
},
mobileNumberText:'This is not a valid mobile number'
});
Ext.apply(me,{
....
items: [{
xtype:'fieldcontainer',
items:[{
xtype: 'combobox',
vtype: 'mobileNumber',
Or, you could add to your Application.js, in the init method, if you need it quite often at different levels of your application:
Ext.define('MyApp.Application', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Application',
views: [
],
controllers: [
],
stores: [
],
init:function() {
Ext.apply(Ext.form.field.VTypes, {
mobileNumber:function(val, field) {
var numeric = /^[0-9]+$/
if(!Ext.String.startsWith(val,'+')) return false;
if(!numeric.test(val.substring(1))) return false;
return true;
},
mobileNumberText:'This is not a valid mobile number'
});
}
