A LayerStore is what you are looking for.
I customized the GeoExt LayerStore to read some metadata that I include in
the layer records.
Here is what I am doing.
MG.Mapper.layerConfigs = function(){
return [{
layer record config object
},
...
]
}
MG.Map = {map configuration options object};
MG.Layers = new MG.LayerStore({
map: MG.Map,
initDir: GeoExt.data.LayerStore.STORE_TO_MAP,
layers: MG.Mapper.layerConfigs()
});
I put the layerConfigs in a separate file and include it before the
initialization code which creates the MG.Map & MG.Layers objects
