@alias

Synopsis:

@alias prefix.name

Defines aliases for the class name.

Example:

/**
 * @class Ext.grid.Panel
 * The grid of data.
 * @alias widget.grid
 * @alias widget.gridpanel
 */

There are 3 recognized prefixes: widget, plugin, feature. These are mapped to xtype, ptype and ftype respectively.

This means the above code will result in xtype: grid, gridpanel in generated documentation. Similarly @alias feature.foo will result in ftype: foo, and @alias plugin.bar in ptype: bar. For these three things shortcut tags are also available: @xtype, @ptype, @ftype.

Any other prefixes may also be used, but for them no mapping is done. So @alias store.json will result in store: json.

Auto-detection

This tag is auto-detected when class comment is right above Ext.define which contains alias:. The following code is equivalent of the above one:

/**
 * The grid of data.
 */
Ext.define("Ext.panel.Table", {
    alias: [
        "widget.grid",
        "widget.gridpanel"
    ]
});

Otherwise the auto-detection behaves just like with @alternateClassName tag.

Use as equivalent to @inheritdoc

For backwards compatibility @alias can be used for copying documentation from another member. See @inheritdoc for details.
