Ext.js - Container Inside Container

Container inside container: We can have containers inside other containers as a component for the parent container along with other components.

Syntax

Following is the simple syntax to use Container inside the container.

var container = Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', {
   items: [component3, component4]
});
Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', {
   renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
   items: [container]
});

You can have a container as an item inside the other container.

Example

Following is a simple example showing a container inside a container.
