the jmod format is meant to fix that, at least for jlink-d apps, but maven/gradle don't understand jmods

at least not yet

that said ..... https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jmod-plugin/index.html

and the jmod format is very simple. i could quite easily add support for it to Graviton

it's really just a zip file where the classes go into a sub-directory called classes instead of being at the top level.

@pike Do you have a list of values and you want the sum property update when any of the items update? It's best to not listen to individual properties of each item, but rather to change events emitted on the observable list that encapsulates them.

@pike are you looking for Bindings.add?

@edvin @carlw I have a fetch from the db, but it gets 1 page at a time, when it gets more, I want to update the total amount fetched, which is the length of the results list.

So a running sum of the list sizes?

If you’re gathering the results, like if each page pulled adds to the list, you could just bind to the size

@pike That's fine, there will be events fired on the list

I think I have an example of that in my CRM, checking

yes, basically the first one does ui { model.item = it } then the getMore() does model.results.value.addAll(it.results)

This is from @edvin’s TodoMVC app. It’s updating a value based on a list size. Look for “itemsLeft” https://github.com/edvin/todomvc/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/todomvcfx/tornadofx/views/Footer.kt

hmm not sure how to do it...

I mean I can just add a listener to the observableList to update it...

Sorry, got held up at work. Will try to find the example I was referring to now.

@pike you can always go the listener route

Yeah, in fact that's how

booleanListBinding

is implemented. We could add more of these for other types:

@edvin uploaded a file: Untitled

or just assign it when I do the add.

Sure, if you can do that, that's cheaper than a listener.

yeah I just got used to the viewModel

I like just setting things, then they update automagically

😄

Same here. I often do that even when there is a cheaper alternative, just because it's convenient, and desktops have more than enough CPU anyways 🙂

i'm a big fan of the declarative bindings. I think having everyone add listeners to update ui controls makes for less readable code, especially across several developers

that is very true

Won't something like this work? Maybe there's a "count" that's needed like in edvin's example val currentCount = integerBinding(model.results.size) { }
