By family, I mean your TornadoFX family of course.

I just ran the CNC machine for the first time ever with a live end mill 🙂

I used MDF for the test run. Now that I know it is possible, I'll try to find some nicer materials 🙂

Hey guys. I integrated JWT based authentication in my Rest API that's going to be consumed by a TornadoFx client. I just wanted to hear from you, what can be the best option/location to store the auth tokens in TornadoFx . In a way that a log out signal from the server can delete it.

@eddy_wm We have several constructs, from config files relative to the app, or even to a specific view or controller, to preferences, which on Windows is written to the registry.

@edvin, I wanted to know which one to use for that specific use case.

@eddy_wm how are you transmitting the signal from the server to the client?

@eddy_wm Shouldn't auth tokes be treated as temporary and thus never be saved and recreated on every start up?

@pim I have to maintain the state. There are requests that only a certain group is allowed to make, so in order to know who's making that request the token must be saved locally and be used in the Authorization HEADER every time a request is made .

I think I am going to put the tokens in the

preferences

.

@eddy_wm That sounds like a good choice. They all have the same security implications so which one you choose is just a matter of taste.

@edvin I am trying to use MutableList<Person> inside listview , but it says required Readonly list inside listview

class MainView : View() {

    val persons : MutableList<Person> = mutableListOf<Person>().observable() //custom Class MutableList

    var taskName: TextField by singleAssign()


    override val root = vbox {
        taskName = textfield {
            action {
                persons.add(Person(taskName.text))
            }
        }
        listview(persons) {              // error here
            cellFormat {
                graphic = cache {
                    form {
                        fieldset {
                            label(it.name)
                            alignment = Pos.CENTER
                            style {
                                fontSize = 22.px
                                fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD
                            }

                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

class Person(val name: String)

Slack Conversation

@aayush You're creating an observable list, but then you cast it to a MutableList, which is not observable.

@aayush Define it as

val persons = FXCollections.observableArrayList<Person>()

instead.

ohkk i'll try that out

@aayush Also, get rid of the textfield member, you don't need it 🙂

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

If the cell will only contain a label, it's pretty overkill to create a form, but maybe you have bigger plans for it?

yeah I'am trying to create my own todo application with checkboxes and stuff, that's why 🙂

@aayush In that case you should look into cellFragment. I think I created a screencast that showcase how you can use that with viewmodel binding. Turn your Person properties into observable properties and add a viewmodel for that.

yeah I am referencing that side by side, but first I'am trying it in a simple format rather than a model

I'll jump to model format once I get this one working

@User uploaded a file: Convert to observable properties and viewmodel

Great 🙂

@edvin is it a kotlin thing or a tornadofx plugin thing that keeps me from being able to double click on a file in the side bar in intellij and have it open for editing? - I have to click on an init or function or something to open it

@pike That sounds like a broken IDE or plugin somehow. Never experience that myself.

@edvin it works correctly on my mac but not on linux... maybe time to reinstall -- my tornadofx also can't make item view models

@pike There was a bug a while back, are you using the latest release? Maybe your IDEA isn't updating itself or plugins?

I figured it out, I was rightclicking instead of trying to find the stupid lightbulb
