Extjs4 - remote validation

Question

I\'d like having a remote validator for a textfield. My PHP returns true/false value. I\'ve tried something like this:

{
   xtype: \'textfield\',
   fieldLabel:          


        

Answer 1

{
 fieldLabel : 'Username',
 name : 'username',
 allowBlank : false,
 validFlag : true,
 validator : function() {
  return this.validFlag;
 },
 listeners : {
  'change' : function(textfield, newValue, oldValue) {
   var me = this;
   Ext.Ajax.request({
    url : 'rest/users?action=validate&username=' + newValue,
    success : function(response) {
     // Ausuming responseText is {"valid" : true}
     me.validFlag = Ext.decode(response.responseText).valid ? true : 'The username is duplicated!';
     me.validate();
    }
   });
  }
 }
}

Answer 2

maybe you shouldnt use the validator then, add a listner on change for the textfield and use the methods markInvalid and clearInvalid for displaying the validation.

{
   xtype: 'textfield',
   fieldLabel: 'Field',
   allowBlank: false,
   textValid: false,
   validator: function(){
       return this.textValid;
   },
   listeners : {
     'change': function(textfield,newValue,oldValue) {
        Ext.Ajax.request({
          url: 'psc/validate',
          params: { psc: value },
          scope: textfield,
          success: function(response){
             if (response.responseText){
               this.clearInvalid();
               this.textValid = true;
             } else {
               this.markInvalid('field is not valid');
               this.textValid = false;
             }                             
          }
        });
      }       
   }
}

I haven;t tried it but could work for your aproach

EDIT i've made some modifications to the code to include the validator..
