## Config Options

Config Options | Defined By

The id of the node, a DOM node or an existing Element corresponding to a DIV that is already present in the document that specifies some structural markup for this component. When applyTo is used, constituent parts of the component can also be specified by id or CSS class name within the main element, and the component being created may attempt to create its subcomponents from that markup if applicable. Using this config, a call to render() is not required. If applyTo is specified, any value passed for renderTo will be ignored and the target element's parent node will automatically be used as the component's container. | Component

True to hide and show the component's container when hide/show is called on the component, false to hide and show the component itself (defaults to false).

An object or array of objects that will provide custom functionality for this component. The only requirement for a valid plugin is that it contain an init method that accepts a reference of type Ext.Component. When a component is created, if any plugins are available, the component will call the init method on each plugin, passing a reference to itself. Each plugin can then call methods or respond to events on the component as needed to provide its functionality. | Component

This config option is not used when passing a config object into a constructor. This config option is used only when lazy instantiation is being used, and a child item of a Container is being specified not as a fully instantiated Component, but as a Component config object. The xtype will be looked up at render time up to determine what type of child Component to create. The predefined xtypes are listed here. If you subclass Components to create your own Components, you may register them using Ext.ComponentMgr.registerType in order to be able to take advantage of lazy instantiation and rendering. | Component

| addClass( `string cls` ) : void Adds a CSS class to the component's underlying element. Adds a CSS class to the component's underlying element. Parameters: `cls` : string The CSS class name to add Returns: `void` | Component
| addEvents( `Object object` ) : void Used to define events on this Observable Used to define events on this Observable Parameters: `object` : Object The object with the events defined Returns: `void` | Observable
- | addListener( `String eventName`, `Function handler`, [`Object scope`], [`Object options`] ) : void Appends an event handler to this component Appends an event handler to this component Parameters: `eventName` : String The type of event to listen for `handler` : Function The method the event invokes `scope` : Object (optional) The scope in which to execute the handler function. The handler function's "this" context. `options` : Object (optional) An object containing handler configuration properties. This may contain any of the following properties: scope : Object The scope in which to execute the handler function. The handler function's "this" context. delay : Number The number of milliseconds to delay the invocation of the handler after the event fires. single : Boolean True to add a handler to handle just the next firing of the event, and then remove itself. buffer {Number} Causes the handler to be scheduled to run in an Ext.util.DelayedTask delayed by the specified number of milliseconds. If the event fires again within that time, the original handler is not invoked, but the new handler is scheduled in its place. Combining Options Using the options argument, it is possible to combine different types of listeners: A normalized, delayed, one-time listener that auto stops the event and passes a custom argument (forumId)
      el.on('click', this.onClick, this, {
          single: true,
          delay: 100,
          forumId: 4
      });
  Attaching multiple handlers in 1 call The method also allows for a single argument to be passed which is a config object containing properties which specify multiple handlers.
      foo.on({
          'click' : {
              fn: this.onClick,
              scope: this,
              delay: 100
          },

              fn: this.onMouseOut,
              scope: this
          }
      });
  Or a shorthand syntax:
      foo.on({
          'click' : this.onClick,
