how do you want to test the tornadofx client with postman? you can test your nodejs server with that

if you want to keep it in kotlin you can write your REST api in #ktor

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez There is absolutely no need to make your own rest client, just look at the documentation in the guide, it shows you how to use it. The rest client has two implementations, one using httpurlconnection and one using apache httpclient. The API is the same, and there is normally no need to use the apache httpclient implementation. Both support basic auth and digest auth out of the box. You can intercept headers etc if you need to do oauth for example.

@edvin what is the difference between httpurlconnection and apache httpclient?

Does it just provide 2 options for use, or is it more for compatibility?

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez The transport is either done by httpurlconnection or apache httpclient. You can get to this object from the engine if you need to do anything special. For example, before we added digest authentication to the public api (and hence both implementations), you'd have to use the apache httpclient implementation to configure digest auth. Now that's not an issue anymore, but say you need to handle SSL in some specific way, you might need the apache transport. Bottom line: Stay with the default unless you require something that's not supported.

Sounds good, I'll give httpurlconnection a shot.

I'll need to create a database first. I'll be back soon once I read up on documentation for httpurlconnection: I've normally used overlays in the past, so this is kind of a new frontier for me. If anyone has good tips or recommendations let me know!

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez Just to be clear, "giving httpurlconnection a shot" just means doing

val client: Rest by inject()

and configuring authentication on that object once, then just calling

client.get()

etc

@edvin I should clarify: I believe your implementation will be easy

to use*

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez The fact that it uses httpurlconnection is completely invisible to you, and you will not interact with that at all 🙂

The challenge for me will be creating a backend set up 🙂

simply because I've never had to do it before, there's usually a backend set up and I'll connect to whatever exists

@luis looks like you have issues with your events and also, it looks like you getting flickering from the way you set up your view

my custom rowfactory (which is responsible for the coloring)

and I use

SortedFilteredList

@wineluis have you tried debugging yet? I suspect when you step through, one or more methods are saving selected objects when you don't mean to

its just visual

the underlying objects are normal

so, you have tried debugging what your event methods are grabbing?

@wineluis Maybe you need to remove unmapped and alreadyMapped in your else block?

what event methods?

and do you mean remove the else block?

I think have a similar issue right now on controlling my objects, but I need to debug and find what is what. Interesting behavior. Do you know why your method thinks those other unintentionally colored blocks should be colored as well?

I have to assume your checkbox launches an event - so that event should grab just what you selected, but it looks like it grabs more

I just add and remove class on the row

yet, the code thinks it should do more than just that row. It might be helpful to look at the rest of your class

thats the TornadoFx code
