@gbaldeck - this might help. I've taken some of your code to try to demonstrate the binding. You need to use regular classes (not data classes) and add javafx properties so that the underlying object property gets updated.

Is there any "shortcuts" for timers like this one from ReactFX?

Copy code

FxTimer.runLater(
        Duration.ofMillis(2500),
        () -> doSomething());

I just need to run a task (once) after 2 sec

@alexp11223 this is from an earlier discussion

@gbaldeck Hi Graham 🙂 I answered your SO question earlier tonight. You can keep your data class as it is and just use the

observable

function to create a writable property, or you can modify your domain object to create properties.

@alexp11223 We could definitely add something like that pretty easily.

This is my initial thought, will try it now:

@alexp11223 Committed. You can now do

runLater(2.5.seconds) { doSomething() }

I started playing with a webpage. I know nothing about web design and presentation though, so consider this mostly a collection of links. The new Apache Felix Bundle downloader is nice though 🙂 https://tornadofx.io/

I didn't have time to add much content now but I'll continue to work on it in the coming days. The web site will be in my public repo as well, so please send PR's 🙂

I think the

replaceWith

function should include not only

sizeToScene

but also

centerOnScreen

@edvin I just saw your reply from this morning, that worked beautifully thank you

edvin

@nyxcharon Great 🙂

edvin

05/26/2017, 6:34 AM

@Sola Agreed. Added it to

UIComponent.replaceWith

now.

@edvin cool, thanks 🙂 hm. But I also need to start timer only if it is not already started. Is there any way to do that? Looks like

TimerTask

does not have any properties like isRunning

edvin

05/26/2017, 7:25 AM

@alexp11223 Not sure I understand. Calling

runLater

will start the timer and execute after the given amount of time, unless you have cancelled it via the returned TimerTask?

edvin

05/26/2017, 7:32 AM

@alexp11223 Perhaps you could put an SimpleBooleanProperty in a ViewModel or Controller, and set that as long as the task is running, and use it to determine of another task should be started?

I start timer when some property was changed (to avoid too frequent updates), so if I started

runLater(2.5.seconds)

but in 1 sec the property was changed again, then I need to ignore that. Of course I can add flag like

isRunning

and set it manually in my code, but I thought that something like that was already included in timer

edvin

05/26/2017, 8:11 AM

@alexp11223 Let me see what I can do.

edvin

05/26/2017, 8:17 AM

@alexp11223 Just committed: "runLater returns FXTimerTask with observable runningProperty and access to owning timer."

@edvin cool! waiting for the new publish version 🙂

Sola

btw, I also think the

sizeToScene

parameter should work when

transition

is null too ( It doesn't for now )

edvin

05/26/2017, 12:48 PM

@Sola Fixed 🙂

@edvin hm. Are you sure that

runLater

runs on the FX thread?
