i'm definitely interested in what you're working on. Manuel has some interesting software architecture comparisons. they're in javafx, but they apply here: https://github.com/lestard/FluxFX.

How do I get such a nice code block in here?

Hi guys, i was reading up about concurrency in JavaFx. And i wanted to know what is the simplest way to add a specific time delay become executing a method ? I am aware about using a schedular but is there a more efficient way to do it ?

@kastork one difference that i've noticed with View = f(state) is that there can be more in the background with the desktop. for example, you might keep a tab unrefreshed if it's hidden and then defer the update until it's shown. If it's a simple object access, you might accept any update. however, suppose that tab needs to correlate with a different model component, one that might not be refreshed at that instant

(versus a webapp showing a single view)

If the stores are the single source of state, I don't think that could happen. There might be some inefficiencies associated with keeping off-screen UI updated, but even there I think there are probably analogs from the web world-view -- which does have the concept of conditional rendering at least. (not quite the same as deferred rendering updates, I realize)

@carlw Something simple like this should work for the basics, so you make a separate class that extends Store to use the setters.

@Sebastian Choose + -> Code or text snippet, then select Kotlin from the dropdown to get syntax hl etc 🙂

Ah, right! I missed the highlighting, thanks @edvin

@Sebastian You can even change the type to Kotlin after you posted it (referring to your plain text snippet)

That's better

hi! how to make a borderpane stick to its parent’s size?

try anchorpane

@carlw uploaded a file: anchorpane

yeah, that’s what I was doing, but it felt weird to put a pane into a pane just for that

thanks, I’ll try it

in javafx, keep wrapping until you get the layout you want. hbox...vbox...anchorpane all have different rules for how they allocate extra space to their children. if it gets unwieldy, then start unwrapping

when you say unwieldy, you mean laggy (UX) or clumsy (in code) ?

clumsy

when the containers don't add any value

ok

what is

workArea

in your snippet?

i don’t get what i expect

this is more of a tip when you're working with scene builder where you're wrapping and unwrapping with UI actions and the nesting isn't as clear

tornadoFX, cumbersome wrapping is more apparent

ok

workArea is just a variable...here's the whole program. make sure that anchorpane itself is properly sized

@carlw uploaded a file: Complete AnchorPane Example

Here is my root, the borderpane doesn’t stick to its parent:

@spechard We also have

fitToParentSize()

which might do the trick.
