Create table like structure using Extjs

Question

In Extjs 4.1.1a, I am trying to create a table like structure using containers or panels which completely stretches horizontally and vertically to its parent component.

Here is the Example Fiddle

In View :

Ext.define("MyApp.view.Main", {
    extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel',       
    layout: {type: 'vbox',align:'stretch'},
    title: 'hello',
    id: 'mainContainer' 
})

---

In Controller :

var items = [];
for(var i=0;i<6;i++){

    var vContainer = [];
    var hContainer = [];
    for(var j=0;j<7;j++){
       hContainer.push({
         xtype: 'panel',
         flex:1,                            
       })                       
    }                       
    vContainer.push({
        xtype:'panel',
        flex: 1,
        layout: {type:'hbox',align:'stretch'},                          
        items: hContainer
    })
}

---

var mainController = Ext.getCmp('mainController');  //Calling the id here
mainController.add(items);  //adding the items variable which is mentioned above

I am not sure why this ain't working (not showing anything). Please assist me to solve this problem.

You're pushing an array into an array and passing it as items in the main panel:

Here's the fixed code:

    var items = [];
    for(var i=0;i<6;i++){

        var vContainer; //THE PROBLEM - NO NEED FOR IT TO BE AN ARRAY
        var hContainer = [];
        for(var j=0;j<7;j++){
           hContainer.push({
             xtype: 'panel',
               title : 'H',
             flex:1,                            
           });                      
        }                       
        vContainer = {
            xtype:'panel',
            flex: 1,
            layout: {type:'hbox',align:'stretch'},
            title : 'V',
            items: hContainer
        }
        items.push(vContainer);
    }



Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel',{
    renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
    layout: {type: 'vbox',align:'stretch'},
    title: 'hello',
    minHeight : 500,
    minWidth : 500,
    items: items        
})

Edit: Was too late, leaving the example here anyway.

You're building it wrong:

/*****************************************/
    var items = [];
    for(var i=0;i<6;i++){               

        var hContainer = [];
        for(var j=0;j<7;j++){
           hContainer.push({
             xtype: 'panel',
             flex:1
           });                  
        }                       
        items.push({
            xtype:'panel',
            flex: 1,
            layout: {type:'hbox',align:'stretch'},                          
            items: hContainer
        });
    }

/*****************************************/

Ext.create('Ext.panel.Panel',{
    renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
    layout: {type: 'vbox',align:'stretch'},
    title: 'hello',
    height: 400,
    items: items        
});
