ExtJS waiting for multiple stores to load

Question

How would I go about waiting for multiple stores to load? I have a case where I need to do some work only when two different stores are loaded, so using the store.on("load", fn) of one store is not good enough.

We use this when there are several stores to wait on:

Ext.define('Ext.ux.StoreLoadCoordinator', {
mixins: {
    observable: 'Ext.util.Observable'
},
resetStoreLoadStates: function() {
    this.storeLoadStates = {};              

    Ext.each(this.stores, function(storeId) {
        this.storeLoadStates[storeId] = false;
    }, this);       
},    
isLoadingComplete: function() {
    for (var i=0; i<this.stores.length; i++) {
        var key = this.stores[i];

        if (this.storeLoadStates[key]==false) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;        
},    
onStoreLoad: function(store, records, successful, eOpts, storeName) {
    this.storeLoadStates[store.storeId] = true;

    if (this.isLoadingComplete()==true) {
        this.fireEvent('load');
        this.resetStoreLoadStates();
    }
},    
constructor: function (config) {
    this.mixins.observable.constructor.call(this, config);

    this.resetStoreLoadStates();

    Ext.each(this.stores, function(storeId) {
        var store = Ext.StoreManager.lookup(storeId);

        store.on('load', Ext.bind(this.onStoreLoad, this, [storeId], true));
    }, this);

    this.addEvents(
        'load'            
    );
}});

To use it, pass in an array of the relevant storeIds:

var store1 =  Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    storeId: 'Store1',
    .... (rest of store config)
}});        

var store2 =  Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
    storeId: 'Store2',
    .... (rest of store config)
}});        


var coordinatior = Ext.create('Ext.ux.StoreLoadCoordinator', {
    stores: ['Store1', 'Store2'],
    listeners: {
        load: function() {
           // Do post-load work
        }
    }
});         

This will give you a single load event to handle for multiple stores. Please note that this requires Ext 4.x or later.
