Ext JS is a powerful Javascript application framework, allowing rich GUI widgets to be added to your site. It supports grid, tree, chart widgets, just to name a few. If you are thinking of upgrading your Drupal page beyond what JQuery can offer, Ext JS is worth having a look. For more information, you can check out what Ext JS can achieve through over 100 demo examples here.

The main purpose of this module is to act as a bridge between Drupal entities and Ext JS code. It exposes the Drupal entities through several REST interfaces for your Ext JS page to interact with your Drupal setup. For a Drupal developer, the module can help you to leverage on the powerful Ext JS UI widget to present your data nicely at the client side interface. On the other hand, for an Ext JS developer, this module can help you to adopt Drupal as a server side framework and leverage on its goodness, for example, in managing data and defining user roles and content access permission.

In short, the functions provided by this module include:

• Automatic Generation of Model-View-Controller (MVC) file structure . Explanation of Ext JS MVC structure can be found here
• Allow generation of Ext Javascript Store and Model for each Drupal Entity type.
• Exposing the store and model data through REST interface as JSON format.
• Loading of Ext Page in /Ext/Page.

By itself, this module can achieve a little, and you will need to build an external module to define some of interfaces in Ext JS code. A simple example has been provided in this module to demonstrate how this can be done. If you are not familiar with Ext JS, you can go through some of the tutorials here before attempting to modify the Ext Javascript code within the example.

Note: A new version of this module is being developed to provide relatively comprehensive integration functions with Ext 4.x (currently 4.1). For details please see http://drupal.org/node/1316616 . The 6.x-2.x-dev and 7.x-2.x-dev downloads provide the latest development snapshots. Update: the MVC portion of the new module is largely complete and is pretty stable (and probably very useful for developers implementing an application based on a Drupal backend and Ext JS UI). Have a look here to see what has been implemented.

Please note: This module is no longer actively maintained and work is going into the contact_importer module. It's recommended that you switch to that module if you're already using dcl_importer. Please also note that due to naming conflicts the dcl_importer code base cannot be located on the same site as the contact_importer module.

The dcl_importer lets users import contacts from various third party services such as facebook, myspace, gmail, yahoo, friendfeed, twitter, and numerous other services using the OpenInviter library.

News

Aug 28, 2009 - To use the 6.x-2.x you should remove and re-install as the directory structure has changed somewhat.

If you're looking for original D5 version it can be found here but is not currently functioning and some of the import scripts are not compatible with the GPL. If someone wants to backport the rewritten version of this module to D5 I'll be happy to add them as a co-maintainer or commit their work myself.
