Set listener for store events in a controller

Question

I have a controller with a store, a model, and some views.

I need to listen for the beforesync and write event of the store in the controller, but I don't know how to set these listeners in the controllers control-function.

My store looks like this :

Ext.define('DT.store.UsersStore', {
    extend : 'Ext.data.Store',
    model : 'DT.model.User',
    id : 'myStore'
    autoSync : true,
    proxy : {
        type : 'ajax',
        api : {
            read : '/load_entries',
            update : '/update_entry'
        },
        reader : {
            type : 'json',
            root : 'user',
            successProperty : 'success'
        }
    }
});

Now I try to listen to the events in my controller :

...
init : function () {
    this.control({
        'myStore' : {
            beforesync : this.doSomething,
            write : this.doSomethingElse
        }
    });
},
...

My expected result is that the functions will be executed, when the events are fired. But at this time nothing happens when they are fired.

How can I get this to work?

Your way is possible but it's not ideal, IMO. The better way is to use controllers's store getter. In your case the code would be something like this:

init : function () {
    // every controller has getters for its stores.
    // For store UsersStore getter would be getUsersStoreStore()
    this.getUsersStoreStore().addListener('write',this.finishedLoading, this);
    this.control({
        // widgets event handlers
    });
},
