Hi Amir,

I guess by "feature-complete" you mean "feature parity to GeoExt v2.x".
No, at the moment GeoExt v3 has no feature parity to v2 and I am not
sure if it will have in the near future. The main reason for this is
that the father library ExtJS is now (since v6.x) devided in 2 toolkits.
One for apps focussed on desktops ("classic toolkit") and one for apps
focussed on touch devices ("modern toolkit"). At the moment the
toolkit's UI components are not synchronized in their naming structure.
So comparable components will have different names. Other non-UI-parts,
like stores and models can be used across the 2 toolkits. Since we (the
GeoExt developers) want to support both toolkits we focussed on the
non-UI parts (with some exceptions, e.g. mapcomponent). Otherwise the
GeoExt code would be blown up too much by switching between the toolkits.
Once ExtJS will have synchronized UI components in both tookits we
surely can provide more GeoExt-UI-components.

Nevertheless GeoExt is in an ongoing development process, what does not
mean you cannot use it in production code. You can use e.g. the
currently released version 3.0.0 [1]

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Christian for your helpful answerI think it's a good idea to have those missing features, implemented as an example in examples section, though they are not part of GeoExt 3.0. This way gives users an idea of how to perform those task in GeoExt 3.0.

Regards and hope good days for GeoExt

Hi Amir,

thanks for your feedback. Indeed it would be good to have more examples
showing how to implement "old" behaviour. You are warmly invited to
contribute some examples, if you want ;-)

BTW: There is a package called "BasiGX" [1], which provides a lot of
UI-components and utils for GeoExt and is built on top of GeoExt. It is
not an official GeoExt project but several GeoExt core developers are
involved in BasiGX.

Best regards
Chris
