Extjs iframe - Embedding content from another page into an extjs application - iframe

Question

I am new to working with iframes in extjs. I am looking to embed content from another page (another URL) into an existing extjs application. Is extjs iframe the correct way to go about it? if so, how do I render the component ? Any suggestions would be helpful for me to try. I was trying the code as below, but I don't see the component being rendered/contents getting embedded.
Ext.define(Ext.panel.Panel,
initComponent: function(){
this.items = [{
xtype: 'box',
autoEl: {
tag: 'iframe',
src: some URL,
width: 640,
height: 680,
}
}];
this.callParent(arguments);
}
});

1.You can create a Extjs js class like above and to render this component,you need to create and use it's instance like below code.
Ext.define('Iframe', {
extend: 'Ext.panel.Panel',
xtype: 'sample',
initComponent: function(){
this.items = [{
xtype: 'box',
autoEl: {
tag: 'iframe',
src: 'https://www.sencha.com/',
width: 640,
height: 680,
}
}];
this.callParent(arguments);
}
});
Ext.create({
xtype: 'sample',
renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});
2.You can create an Extjs class like below and use them inside your application.
In my case i have created Extjs class and used it in my application using it's xtype.
Extjs class code:
Ext.define('MyApp.view.main.Iframe', {
extend: "Ext.panel.Panel",
xtype: 'iframe',
title: 'iframe',
initComponent: function() {
var me = this;
me.items = [{
xtype: 'box',
autoEl: {
tag: 'iframe',
src: 'https://www.sencha.com/',
width: 640,
height: 680,
}
}];
this.callParent(arguments);
},
});
Inside my main.js:(main-view)
Ext.define('MyApp.view.main.Main', {
extend: 'Ext.tab.Panel',
xtype: 'app-main',
requires: [
'Ext.plugin.Viewport',
'Ext.window.MessageBox',
'MyApp.view.main.MainController',
'MyApp.view.main.MainModel',
'MyApp.view.main.List'
],
controller: 'main',
viewModel: 'main',
ui: 'navigation',
header: {
layout: {
align: 'stretchmax'
},
title: {
bind: {
text: '{name}'
},
flex: 0
},
iconCls: 'fa-th-list'
},
tabBar: {
flex: 1,
layout: {
align: 'stretch',
overflowHandler: 'none'
}
},
items: [{
title: 'Home',
iconCls: 'fa-home',
items: [{
xtype: 'mainlist'
}]
}, {
title: 'Groups',
iconCls: 'fa-users',
items: [{
xtype: 'iframe'
}]
}, {
title: 'Settings',
iconCls: 'fa-cog',
bind: {
html: '{loremIpsum}'
}
}]
});
