New SO Question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45380638/how-to-update-width-height-of-a-node-after-scaling-a-svg

I'm trying to improve and also reduce the complexity of the binding mechanism inside ViewModel. The main goal is to improve collections support.

Hello everyone. I got started with TornadoFx not so long time ago . I like everything about it, from the technology to the community. I just realized that almost everything is provided except an ORM for data persistence. An ORM built with the spirit of Kotlin/TornadoFx just to "streamline" the dev process.

If someone has worked with an ORM before, I would like to see codes samples. I am migrating a bunch of jfx apps, which were built using the plain Jdbc.

@eddy_wm Hey! I actually started to create one, but haven't finished. I've refined the syntax quite a lot since I updated the docs as well. https://github.com/edvin/kdbc

I'd like to finish it, but I don't have time at the moment.

I'm also making sure that bindings towards lists, both observable and not, will never be null, even if the underlying list is null. This is important to be able to add to lists when no underlying object is present in a ViewModel, or if that underlying object has a null value for the bound list field.

Does that mean I can use it without the world exploding? 😁

@pim That's the idea 🙂 The Kotlin type system have some interesting quirks, trying to iron them out now and hopefully we'll have this all sorted before the weekend is over.

@nimakro Another great one! Thanks a lot! Very happy that you take the time to add documentation as well!

@edvin No problem 😉, can we actually close https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/386 ?

@nimakro Yes, that's fixed as well. Closed now 🙂

I've committed a rather brutal rewrite of the ViewModel internals.

I hope as many of you as possible can check to see if ViewModel bindings, validation or forms handling are working as expected.

@edvin Will check tomorrow..

Thank you!

Quick tip if you're building from source: You can disable all the plugins except for the kotlin plugin to speed up your build. If anybody wants to create a Maven profile for this that would great!

I guess, I will wait the completion of kdbc to start using an ORM with TornadoFx. Jetbrains/Exposed seems a little bit overkill for the type of application I am building. And many ORMs out there were designed mostly for server-side apps.

I will pick up KDBC again this fall, after JavaOne. I have high hopes for it, and it sports some very interesting features.

That's great! @edvin.

Can issue 382 be closed after commit f982f6 ?

(Is there no way to link github issues/commits in slack?)

@pim I think there is some kind of github integration for slack but I am not sure if we can use it in a free channel...I usually just paste in the link: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/382

My hope is that the commit should fix issue 382. Can you confirm, @pim?

@edvin Not right now, will let you know

@carlw You're a javaFX guy right? I have a stackpane, with a barchart beneath a line chart, the problem is, it doesn't detect if the pane resizes... the Linechart will grow, but the barchart will not 😕 Got any ideas how to bind the barchart to the line chart?

This works, but it gets called 3 times: lineChart.heightProperty().addListener { _ -> barChart.autosize() lineChart.autosize() }

the chart, for whatever the reason, is 388, then 396, then 400 for height

well... I'll put that in a TODO 😛 gonna need to look at it later.

@edvin any plans to support coroutines?
