    /**
     * Controllers are the glue that binds an application together. All they really do is listen for events (usually from
     * views) and take some action. Here's how we might create a Controller to manage Users:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
     *
     *          init: function() {
     *              console.log('Initialized Users! This happens before ' +
     *                          'the Application launch() function is called');
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * The init function is a special method that is called when your application boots. It is called before the
     * {@link Ext.app.Application Application}'s launch function is executed so gives a hook point to run any code before
     * your Viewport is created.
     *
     * The init function is a great place to set up how your controller interacts with the view, and is usually used in
     * conjunction with another Controller function - {@link Ext.app.Controller#control control}. The control function
     * makes it easy to listen to events on your view classes and take some action with a handler function. Let's update
     * our Users controller to tell us when the panel is rendered:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
     *
     *          init: function() {
     *              this.control({
     *                  'viewport > panel': {
     *                      render: this.onPanelRendered
     *                  }
     *              });
     *          },
     *
     *          onPanelRendered: function() {
     *              console.log('The panel was rendered');
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * We've updated the init function to use {@link Ext.app.Controller#control control method} to set up listeners on views
     * in our application. The control method uses the ComponentQuery engine to quickly and easily get references to components
     * on the page. If you are not familiar with ComponentQuery yet, be sure to check out the
     * {@link Ext.ComponentQuery documentation}. In brief though, it allows us to pass a CSS-like selector that will find
     * every matching component on the page.
     *
     * In our init function above we supplied 'viewport > panel', which translates to "find me every Panel that is a direct
     * child of a Viewport". We then supplied an object that maps event names (just 'render' in this case) to handler
     * functions. The overall effect is that whenever any component that matches our selector fires a 'render' event, our
     * onPanelRendered function is called.
     *
     * ## Event domains
     *
     * In Ext JS 4.2, we introduced the concept of event domains. In terms of MVC, an event domain
     * is one or more base classes that fire events to which a Controller wants to listen. Besides
     * Component event domain that encompass {@link Ext.Component}-descended Views, Controllers now
     * can listen to events from data Stores, Ext.Direct Providers, other Controllers, and Ext.globalEvents.
     * This feature provides a way to communicate between parts of the whole application without the need
     * to bind controllers together tightly, and allows to develop and test application parts in isolation.
     *
     * See usage examples in {@link #listen} method documentation.
     *
     * ## Using refs
     *
     * One of the most useful parts of Controllers is the ref system. These use the {@link Ext.ComponentQuery} to
     * make it really easy to get references to Views on your page. Let's look at an example of this now:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
     *
     *          refs: [{
     *              ref: 'list',
     *              selector: 'grid'
     *          }],
     *
     *          init: function() {
     *              this.control({
     *                  'button': {
     *                      click: this.refreshGrid
     *                  }
     *              });
     *          },
     *
     *          refreshGrid: function() {
     *              this.getList().store.load();
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * This example assumes the existence of a {@link Ext.grid.Panel Grid} on the page, which contains a single button to
     * refresh the Grid when clicked. In our refs array, we set up a reference to the grid. There are two parts to this -
     * the 'selector', which is a {@link Ext.ComponentQuery ComponentQuery} selector which finds any grid on the page and
     * assigns it to the reference 'list'.
     *
     * By giving the reference a name, we get a number of things for free. The first is the getList function that we use in
     * the refreshGrid method above. This is generated automatically by the Controller based on the name of our ref, which
     * was capitalized and prepended with get to go from 'list' to 'getList'.
     *
     * The way this works is that the first time getList is called by your code, the ComponentQuery selector is run and the
     * first component that matches the selector ('grid' in this case) will be returned. All future calls to getList will
     * use a cached reference to that grid. Usually it is advised to use a specific ComponentQuery selector that will only
     * match a single View in your application (in the case above our selector will match any grid on the page).
     *
     * Bringing it all together, our init function is called when the application boots, at which time we call this.control
     * to listen to any click on a {@link Ext.button.Button button} and call our refreshGrid function (again, this will
     * match any button on the page so we advise a more specific selector than just 'button', but have left it this way for
     * simplicity). When the button is clicked we use out getList function to refresh the grid.
     *
     * You can create any number of refs and control any number of components this way, simply adding more functions to
     * your Controller as you go. For an example of real-world usage of Controllers see the Feed Viewer example in the
     * examples/app/feed-viewer folder in the SDK download.
     *
     * ## Generated getter methods
     *
     * Refs aren't the only thing that generate convenient getter methods. Controllers often have to deal with Models and
     * Stores so the framework offers a couple of easy ways to get access to those too. Let's look at another example:
     *
     *      Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', {
     *          extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
     *
     *          models: ['User'],
     *          stores: ['AllUsers', 'AdminUsers'],
     *
     *          init: function() {
     *              var User, allUsers, ed;
     *
     *              User = this.getUserModel();
     *              allUsers = this.getAllUsersStore();
     *
     *              ed = new User({ name: 'Ed' });
     *              allUsers.add(ed);
     *          }
     *      });
     *
     * By specifying Models and Stores that the Controller cares about, it again dynamically loads them from the appropriate
     * locations (app/model/User.js, app/store/AllUsers.js and app/store/AdminUsers.js in this case) and creates getter
     * functions for them all. The example above will create a new User model instance and add it to the AllUsers Store.
     * Of course, you could do anything in this function but in this case we just did something simple to demonstrate the
     * functionality.
     *

         * - `xtype` - Used to create component by its xtype with autoCreate or forceCreate. If
