Fieldset /w Dynamic Controls (7)

Implement MVC

In this example we’ll split up our code using ExtJS 4 MVC (Model View Controller) framework. De-coupling our models, views, and controllers makes the code very easy to modify later.

// Create 2 fieldsets
Ext.create('Ext.container.Container',{
    renderTo: Ext.getBody()

    , items: [

        , { title: 'Search Filter 2' }
    ]
});
