## What is GeoExt?

GeoExt is Open Source and enables building desktop-like GIS applications through

the web. It is a JavaScript framework that combines the GIS functionality of

[OpenLayers](http://openlayers.org) with the user interface savvy of the

[ExtJS](http://www.sencha.com/products/extjs/) library provided by

[Sencha](http://www.sencha.com/).

Version 2 of GeoExt is the successor to the

[GeoExt 1.x-series](http://geoext.org).

GeoExt 2.1.x is built atop OpenLayers 2.13.1 and ExtJS 5.1.0 and provides full backward compatibility to ExtJS 4.2.1.

So GeoExt 2.1 is usable either with ExtJS 5.1 or Ext 4.2.1.

GeoExt 2.0.x is based on OpenLayers 2.13.1 and ExtJS 4.2.1 and is maintained in the [v2.0.x-maintenance Branch](https://github.com/geoext/geoext2/tree/v2.0.x-maintenance).

## More information on GeoExt 2

Have a look at the official homepage: http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/

You will find examples, API documentation (with and without inherited

functionality from ExtJS), links to mailinglists and more over there.

What you see on http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/ are the contents of the

`gh-pages`-branch. If you encounter anything that should be fixed, please issue

a pull request against that branch and we will merge it as soon as possible.

## Ok, I want to use GeoExt now...

Hey that's a good decision, and it is very easy to get started on a page that

already includes ExtJS and OpenLayers:

```html

    

        Trying out GeoExt2 w/ ExtJS 5.1.0

        

        

        

        

        

        

    

    

```

Or if you are stuck to ExtJS 4.2.x you can use the following code:

```html

    

        Trying out GeoExt2 w/ ExtJS 4.2.1

        

        

        

        

        

        

    

    

```

Next, we simply add a ``-tag in which we tell ExtJS about GeoExt (and

also where to find the ExtJS source files):

```html

<script type="text/javascript">

Ext.Loader.setConfig({

    enabled: true,

    disableCaching: false,

    paths: {

        GeoExt: "path/to/src/GeoExt",

        Ext: "http://cdn.sencha.com/ext/gpl/5.1.0/src"

    }

});

```

Or reference the ExtJS 4.2.1 sources if you have to use them:

```html

Ext.Loader.setConfig({

    enabled: true,

    disableCaching: false,

    paths: {

        GeoExt: "path/to/src/GeoExt",

        Ext: "http://cdn.sencha.com/ext/gpl/4.2.1/src"

    }

});

```

That's it. Now you can e.g. create a very basic mappanel and let it reign over

the whole browser window:

```javascript

var mappanel = Ext.create('GeoExt.panel.Map', {

    title: 'A sample Map',

    map: {

        // ...

        // optional, can be either

        //   - a valid OpenLayers.Map configuration or

        //   - an instance of OpenLayers.Map

    },

    center: '12.31,51.48',

    zoom: 6

});

Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {

    layout: 'fit',

    items: [

        mappanel // our variable from above

    ]

});

```

## Want to contribute? Yes, please!

We definitely want you to help us making GeoExt. We will happily accept pull

requests of any kind; be it documentation improvement, code refactoring or new

functionality.

Please sign the [contributor agreement](http://trac.geoext.org/browser/docs/contributor_agreements/geoext_agreement.pdf?format=raw)

and email it to the GeoExt Project Steering Committee (`psc [at] geoext.org`)

prior to submitting your changes. Thanks.

## To generate the jsduck documentation

*   Install jsduck: https://github.com/senchalabs/jsduck

*   Run `jsduck --config jsduck.json` in the root of the repository

*   Optional: If you want the documentation for ExtJS to be linked, edit

    `jsduck.json` to point to the proper source location (URLs will not work)

*   Optional: To refresh screenshots in the example page run

	`~$ . tools/screenshots.sh http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/examples/`

*   Open the generated file `/path/to/your/geoext/docs/index.html` in your

    favorite browser

*   Enjoy!

## To run the test suite

*   Serve the contents of a GeoExt 2 clone on a webserver, e.g.:

    `user@machine:/src/geoext2 $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 2222`

*   Open the main test suite HTML file in a browser:

    `http://localhost:2222/tests/run-tests.html`

*   Click the button "run all"

## Headless tests with casperjs

You can also run the above tests headlessly through casperjs.

```bash

# Install dependencies via npm in the GeoExt 2 clone dir (only first time)

npm install

# Run the suite in the root of the repository

npm test

```

These tests are also run though [travis](https://travis-ci.org/geoext/geoext2).
