Question

Going through the ExtJS documentation I got lost among the names and couldn’t find the components I needed. I’d like to show the properties of an object like this:

Name: name

Address: address

With JSF, I would use a panelgrid with outputText tags. Is there a component like that?
And there’s something else: I’d like to make this panel “closeable” like an accordion or something like that so the user could hide the information if not needed, but I couldn’t make the accordion panel’s size adapt to the content. When I used an accordionpanel in primefaces the panel was resized if the content changed. Is there any way you can do this with ExtJS?

Well, how about this:

Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    storeId:'simpsonsStore',
    fields:['name', 'email', 'phone'],
    data:{'items':[
        { 'name': 'Lisa',  "email":"[e-mail]",  "phone":"555-111-1224"  },
        { 'name': 'Bart',  "email":"[e-mail]",  "phone":"555-222-1234" },
        { 'name': 'Homer', "email":"[e-mail]",  "phone":"555-222-1244"  },
        { 'name': 'Marge', "email":"[e-mail]", "phone":"555-222-1254"  }
    ]},
    proxy: {
        type: 'memory',
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            root: 'items'
        }
    }
});

Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', {
    title: 'Simpsons',
    collapsible: true,
    store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('simpsonsStore'),
    columns: [
        { text: 'Name',  dataIndex: 'name' },
        { text: 'Email', dataIndex: 'email', flex: 1 },
        { text: 'Phone', dataIndex: 'phone' }
    ],
    height: 200,
    width: 400,
    renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
