I use the event bus as a kind of browser history

I use the properties on the Node in some graphical stuff (versus business forms) where the "model" is very close to the UI elements and saving a value in the properties like an ID or position is more convenient than trying to keep a shadow model in sync

holy crap …

I’m stupid lol

I was trying to use .apply{ properties.putAll(event.params) }

Sometimes I just make the dumbest mistakes I feel

While I was poking around, I found that view has a params, is that usable?

looking at that now. here's a View with the properties as a parameter so that you can keep the fields private

@pike params looks good too, but it works through the find() method

@User uploaded a file: Using params (from find())

probably worth a blog post...

Thanks, I’m doing it this way because once the params go in, the view will use them to get info from an api and load it into the model. I suppose I could also load the api then switch …

this is the most direct and a lot of toolkits have a call data void* kind of thing to initialize the stage. it might be nice if they were part of the onDock() call signature

it’s working perfectly. Thank you for the help and suggestions. I’m going with find(class, params) and I think I’ll update my browser type functionality for that

ok. i'm going to type up a blog post on it so we'll have it for later

BTW, does it take a while to get the parameters or are they already in RAM?

What do you mean? the source for my parameters?

yeah. are you delaying the openModal() call at all to get the parameters?

nope

it’s not openModal() either, I’m swapping its root into my view

good. i've had to rip out code that was making a service call prior to the openModal()

I’m doing find() then in the class it’s using onDock() and my first code on onDock is a prinln() right now then it’s setting the test string to StringProperty

great...switching computers

here’s an odd thing though, if I don’t use a property in the table, I can’t seem to access it even though it should be there. Is this because the selectedItem is a row and not the value behind the row?

never mind… idiot again

interesting, @carlw I can’t set the params a second time

@edvin Here is the sample application for loading custom font. I have mentioned my question in Styles.kt as comments.

@aayush In your

Styles

companion object, define a property for your style:

val latoRegularFont = loadFont("/fonts/Lato-Regular.ttf", 16.0)!!
