I didn't do anything specific to make anything lazy

the funny thing is, that original snipped I sent you was working a couple days ago, before I switch to Java serialization

@edvin I apologize for ruining your hobby night

Haha 🙂 No problem. Signing off now though 🙂 Will try to fix this tomorrow or on Monday.

Thanks

Good night 🙂

Hello. Has anyone tried to use tornadofx with JFoenix?

@miha-x64 I haven't. If you try it though, you will probably want to create builders for the special components that JFoenix introduces. If not, you need to do

add(SomeComponentFromJFoenix().apply {})

instead of the smooth builders 🙂

I don't like that JFoenix took the "new component" approach. It looks like they could have uses stylesheets with references to custom skins instead. That would have been a lot better. Maybe they did it to expose special functions on their component subclasses. In a Kotlin library you'd just solve that with extension functions, but in vanilla Java I can kind of understand why - if that was the reason.

@edvin thank you, I'll try it out. I wonder if anyone already had any experience in mixing these things 🙂

@miha-x64 If you like JFoenix and also TornadoFX and everything turns out good, you could consider creating a JFoenix-TornadoFX library with builders for JFoenix components 🙂

Thank you, I'll try.

Also, is there anything similar to Android's RecyclerView — a list which can be updated smoothly, by calling e. g.

notifyItemInserted

,

notifyItemMoved

,

notifyItemRemoved

etc?

@miha-x64 I don't know the RecyclerView, but that would be pretty easy to do in TornadoFX. You can use events, with the exact names you mention, and subscribe to them to add items, but there might be a much nicer way of doing it. Perhaps if you can describe your use case in more detail, I can show you the idiomatic way of doing it in TornadoFX?

My use-case: I have a list of chats, and if there's a new message, the chat moves up and becomes first.

Your list of chats, could be in a

ChatListViewModel

for example:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

The View that contains the ListView or TableView could bind to this:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

The component that adds a chat could just add it directly to the view model, or go via a function.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

If you don't like that tight coupling, introduce a

ChatAdded

event for example:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

Now change the ChatListViewModel to subscribe to that event:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

The button could now fire that event, so it no longer needs to know about the view model.

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

@kastork I've made some improvements to

JsonModelAuto

- would you like to try it on your project again?

All bugs and features planned for 1.7.5 is complete, so I'm thinking about doing a release today. Will hold off until @kastork have had a chance to test the json auto model, or if any of you have suggestions or needs for features that could be done pretty quickly. Let me know!
