Thanks for the links @carlw i will surely go through it

np

@edvin I know the repo has a passing status on the build, but I keep getting a build failure. Maybe because I'm on macOS? ...

source code says that setInScope is

fun <T : ScopedInstance> setInScope(value: T, scope: Scope = this.scope): <ERROR CLASS>

does this mean that setInScope can also be applied for other things like views and other controllers? I'm still not sure the full extent of setInScope can do

@kastork Checking 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez That's correct, at least theoretically. I've never seen the need for setting anything but models into scopes myself, but it would work the same way. Unless you configure a certain controller to always come from the

DefaultScope

, you'd get a new instance of the controller as well, if you open a View in a new scope and reference a controller.

@iyankovsky Yeah, it's a pity that TreeView isn't modelled the same way as TableView, but at least you have TreeTableView which uses a more similar pattern.

@kastork The tests run fine for me. Not sure what could be causing it to fail in your end.

@edvin yeah I figured... I've tried deleting my local maven repo and also started with a fresh clone from your repo (not my fork)

@edvin @amanda.hinchman-dominguez To me the scopes are only valuable when there's a substantial partition in the data. I don't think the "editScope" found in the documentation is a good usage. I'd define the model as the set of all people rather than scopes of "all the people" versus "one of the people". I would use scopes in this example for multi-tenancy. Say you're managing a set of people on behalf of someone, like if you organize a set of registered users by customer. Then, you might use a ClientScope to display a tableview{} in one Stage containing the customers from list #1 and a second Stage w. a tableview of customers list #2. https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-guide/blob/master/part2/Scopes.md

I think if you have to manipulate the scopes too much, you'll run the risk of bugs. Specifically "cross talk" where the scope boundaries get messed up and different view instances start receiving the wrong injected components.

@carlw I think I'm already running into that before I started using scopes, but I figured maybe scope usage could simplify my problem. I forgot to post, but @edvin has much better documentation on scopes on his kitchensink repo

It was much easier to understand after looking at the code. It provides an example with 2 different views using the same controller in the same view (masterdetail/simple), and 2 different views for view/fragment using the same controller (masterdetail/scope and masterdetail/scopewithdata)

I think I'm pretty close, I writing a function that will hopefully pass data to the innerView

How am I supposed to get raw data from an object property?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez uploaded a file:

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez property.value

ahh okay

that will do it

To avoid that confusion, we normally call the property

columnsProperty

and then add

var columns by columnsProperty

to create "getters/setters"

very nice. That may have been in documentation, but I don't think I caught that part at all

whoops, excuse the rows/columns mix up in my code btw 😄

It's in the examples about domain models at least 🙂 You need to import

tornadofx.*

or

tornadofx.getValue

and

tornadofx.setValue

for that delegate to work
