    @wakingrufus You can use it this way, but there is no way to write changes back into an immutable data class, so you need to override 
    onCommit
    and do 
    item = createNewDataModelBasedOnTheFieldValues()

    @wakingrufus By the way, you can probably still use bind with property references, even on data classes. (
    val id = bind(DataClass::id)
    )

    Wow, that is a great example of a multi-platform app.

    Yeah, I think this will be an inspiration for a lot of people. Marcin did a fantastic job, in uncharted waters.

    @edvin Thanks! I followed your advice and it seems to be working better. When I inject ItemViewModel in multiple views, they all get the same instance right? so if i bind it in one view, the other view should get updated?

    @edvin really sorry! I've had a busy few days but I'm back on the project now. No, I haven't quite figured it out yet

    I'm starting up again, but I'm not entirely sure how successful I'll be with kotlin. Would it be possible to write a controller in Java and connect that to my kotlin code?

    there's a pretty good demo on custom drag and drop in java

    @amanda.hinchman-dominguez i’d only mashup java and kotlin if i had legacy code. if you’re starting out with everything new, you should keep the drag and drop handlers in tornadofx

    @edvin do we have any drag and drop torandofx examples?

    the only example I found available was in the OSGI console, but that's for file data

    you’re dragging shapes that represent web containers from a toolbox to a canvas?
  • c

    12/06/2017, 3:23 AM
    or is this from outside of the app?

    I'm dragging javaFX tile objects from the right borderpane to the center
  • c

    12/06/2017, 3:24 AM
    is the center a grid that snaps the tile objects in place then lets you adjust the size for the row/colspan settings?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/06/2017, 3:25 AM
    yep!
  • c

    carlw

    12/06/2017, 3:26 AM
    so nothing outside that app? like you aren’t dragging a .css file onto the center and importing styles?
  • c

    carlw

    12/06/2017, 3:26 AM
    …with the .css file being from Windows Explorer or another file browser

    correct

    maybe I can extend a dragboard method to accept the DataFormat tiles?
  • c

    12/06/2017, 3:33 AM
    what do you think about something like this? it’s not drag-and-drop in the sense of the clipboard and supported data formats.

    maybe moving your tile objects from a righthand toolbar onto a canvas might build your layout?

    This was something I wanted to do earlier, but I think my issue was that the FXML I had created is entirely too verbose
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/06/2017, 3:43 AM
    I do know that drag and drop is pretty well documented with FXML though
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    12/06/2017, 3:43 AM
    I still have my FXML files at hand, I suppose I could switch back for now
  • c

    12/06/2017, 4:32 AM
    I’m not advocating FXML but rather the algorithm for moving pieces and recording where they’d end up

    I see. I'll take a closer look.
