@pim this is a JavaFX (not TornadoFX) article using Netty to make a websocket (http) server. a regular http server would be even simpler because it doesn't need the drawn-out opening sequence http://bekwam.blogspot.com/2016/03/a-javafx-netty-websocket-client.html

One of the regulars here, @ron , uses Jetty in some of his projects as a lightweight server

@pim @carlw vertx provides a nice way to embed clients and servers http://vertx.io/

Hey @pim, I designed the Rest API, and it is still in development. I use Laravel(php) framework for my rest Apis. The framework comes handy for APIs designers in many stuffs like authentication, authorization, apis token, an implementation of the famous OAuth2, route model binding, DI,...

Finally my TornadoFx app and my rest api have agreed to work together. 🎉😅

Okay, thanks! I want to use Java/Kotlin for the server so that's not an option 🙂

@carlw I have been thinking of using a kotlin framework instead of jetty

A Kotlin / Netty project @ron ?

@carlw @ron @pim have any of you tried ktor? https://github.com/Kotlin/ktor

no, i work only with mainline app servers

@carlw I understand JetBrains is using Ktor. You're already using Kotlin, go hipster all the way! Use something obscure...

nah, i'm already in trouble around here for being on Discord (for mechanical keyboards or course)

I am with a new customer since 2 weeks took over a ........ C++ project

anyone else have trouble getting .idea/workspace.xml to go into gitignore?

@edvin can't use nestedColumns...

@pike I put the whole .idea folder, along with .iml file, to gitignore

me too... the bugger won't stay ignored....

how do I position inside of a stackpane? I can't seem to use the StackPane.alignment to move child nodes around -- like this: <Label layoutY="252.0" text="Hello" StackPane.alignment="TOP_CENTER">

bleh, I'm ready to deploy and fxlauncher can't find app.Main

and now it can find it...

bleh.. what a jerk build

@pike Why can't you use nestedColumn?

@edvin I can't give you the errors right now, but it had to do with the select returning an Observable<Int> but it wanted a Property<Number> I worked around it

nestedColumn("Gross") { column("costs", Usage::grossProperty).cellFormat{ text = "%,d".format(it.cost)} column("units", Usage::grossProperty).cellFormat{ text = "%,d".format(it.units)} }

@pike JavaFX has some quirks with certain number types, but there are easy workarounds.

You don't need to specify the type argument for

nestedColumn

, it should be inferred from your TableView.

Is this the code that doesn't complie, or is this your workaround?

this is my workaround

sorry, I forgot that was still there.

yeah I deleted that.
