Explanation

  • Ext.onReady() method will be called once the Ext JS is ready to render the Ext JS elements.

  • Ext.create() method is used to create an object in Ext JS. Here we are creating an object of simple panel class Ext.Panel.

  • Ext.Panel is the predefined class in Ext JS for creating a panel.

  • Every Ext JS class has different properties to perform some basic functionalities.

Ext.Panel class has various properties such as −

  • renderTo is the element where this panel has to render. 'helloWorldPanel' is the div id in Index.html file.
