that looks pretty easy for someone like him.

@edvin regarding updating the guide, have we deprecated all old API's? I did a search and see several deprecated tags. It would make this easier if all deprecations are covered.

Guys what is the most recommended and preferred way to store data(tables) locally in JavaFx ?

Any recommended library @edvin

@jchildress Oh no... that sucks! I almost did the exact same thing today, actually!

@carlw Looking at the code now 🙂

Some people have to learn the hard way..

@thomasnield I'll set up the tornadofx-charts project on Monday, will be gone tomorrow as well 🙂

@carlw I don't like the parameter passing and the vars. I think it would be cleaner to instantiate the

SchoolScopesExampleViewModel

and set it's values, then set that viewmodel into the new scope.

I'm not a fan of saving the ui elements using singleAssign if it can be easily avoided.

There are some things we can do more idiomatically as well.

(If that's even a word :)

This is my take:

@edvin uploaded a file: School example rewritten to be more idiomatic

@carlw In my rewrite there is a lot less conditionals / logic. I think this is very important - the idiomatic ways of doing this actually reduses the complexity a lot. Even the LOC went from 94 to 58, and I even added a couple of convenience functions in the ViewModel. Fewer scenarios can cause bugs here IMO.

The example might be even clearer if we introduced a School object and a SchoolsController that would serve them

For completeness, here is the app with a School object as well. Interestingly it is exactly the same LOC (58) and now it includes both a dedicated School model and a SchoolController.

@edvin uploaded a file: School example with dedicated model object

Hey all. So I am been writing some dsls for JFoenix in some of my projects and decided to put them together into a repository. Check it out. There are many examples in the test folder. Let me know what you think! https://github.com/bkenn/KFoenix

@bkenn Wow, nice work 🙂 This will certainly make life easier for all JFoenix / TornadoFX users 🙂

@edvin Thanks edvin 😃. Happy I can contribute.

@carlw What did you think of my changes to the school app?

@thomasnield It doesn't seem like Gerrit has released the charts library to Maven Central. I guess I can still create the project, but it will require users to download and build the carts library locally.

Users can use jitpack to compile dependencies from github

Yeah, but a release of a library that depends on jitpack is cumbersome.

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez commented on @edvin’s file https://kotlinlang.slack.com/files/U0F3291QE/F892EF5JA/-.kt: done and done. thanks!

I'm at the point where I'd love to get testing done on the front-end part of my app before I continue on - can I ask, why do jUnit testing instead of kotlin testing for TornadoFX?

* I will be testing in jUnit, since that's what I'm already familiar with, but I was just curious

@edvin i'll take a look later

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez some are using unit tests as an entry point into using kotlin as an organization. they're writing unit tests that don't have a production risk as a first step
