    We have our own 
    select
    in TornadoFX that lets you create a type safe nested select, and I would recommend using that for every use case.

    I have run into use cases where a nested select can be swapped out for a ViewModel, and it really cleans up the UI code, so look out for that as well.

    Does anybody know of a file-tree-selector like component in JavaFX (or ControlsFX/TornadoFX/other-extension-lib-FX)?

    Something like that

    Isn't that just a normal 
    TreeView
    with checkboxes?

    yeah of course, I could use the Files.visitor stuff to build and enumerate that tree pretty simply huh

    or even just recursing on good ol' 
    file.listFiles

    I was hoping it was built in to a component though

    It could have value to have such a component. Just point it to a path and it could maintain a list of selected files.

    yeah although in my case

    my domain demands that I allow the user to do some things with files that dont yet exist...

    What do you mean?

    honestly maybe I should have my software simply 
    git init
    on this directory 😛

    the way our flow operates, we're going to gneerate a large amount of noise on a couple of directories

    Tell you what.. if you end up with the need for a component that operates on a Path and lets you select multiple entries, I'd be happy to look into it.

    let me do a little digging first

    intelliJ has a couple of similar components but ofc they're probably in swing

    and .net exposes a multi-file selector which I presume is just their single file selector with a control + click
  • e

    edvin

    06/20/2017, 8:56 PM
    Sure. Let me know what you come up with. I'm sure there is common use case in there we should support more easily.

    @groostav If it turns out to be overkill with file system listeners for your use case we can still create a small utility for TornadoFX 🙂

    I'm adding vararg support to all json extractor functions, so it will pick the first key available. Got the idea from this issue: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/350

    Essentially, you'll be able to use today's syntax, just add more keys if you like.

    That required more refactoring than I thought 🙂 Done now, tests are passing but I'm running some manual integration tests before I commit.
