    I want the age of a specific row to update when I change the birthday
  • b

    04/25/2018, 11:16 PM
    from the GUI
  • a

    oh, you're editing the cell in your code
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:16 PM
    no in the GUI

    so the only way I found for now is : onEditCommit { this.tableView.refresh() }
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:16 PM
    but this refresh the whole table for each change
  • b

    whereas I would like it to update only the current row that was edited
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:17 PM
    and only when birthday is edited
  • a

    Sure. Sometimes, you start with A SOLUTION that works, and it helps you realize the best one

    onEditCommit, console out what "this" is
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:17 PM
    I'm guessing it's all the data
  • b

    04/25/2018, 11:18 PM
    the tableview
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:18 PM
    you need to find out how to have the code recognize what object you're editing
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:19 PM
    did you bind the table rows or columns with object attributes?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:19 PM
    if you do, start with testing to see if it recognizes the whole object
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:19 PM
    yes I did do that
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:19 PM
    it is using an observable
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:20 PM
    items = controller.persons
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:20 PM
    great, can you print out the whole observable object
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:20 PM
    when you edit the cell?
  • a

    amanda.hinchman-dominguez

    04/25/2018, 11:20 PM
    start small then move from there
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:24 PM
    my observable change yes
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:25 PM
    this I know it already since the refresh does it properly
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:25 PM
    if I put the dirty tracking and do not commit, it doesn't change as expected
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:25 PM
    if I single click on age, without the refresh I added, it updates the value too
  • b

    bjonnh

    04/25/2018, 11:26 PM
    so there is clearly a way to tell it to refresh a single cell according to the model

    change: 
    val age: SimpleIntegerProperty get() = SimpleIntegerProperty(Period.between(birthday, LocalDate.now()).years)
    into: 
    val age: IntegerBinding = Bindings.createIntegerBinding({Period.between(birthdayProperty().value, LocalDate.now()).years}, arrayOf(birthdayProperty()))
    👍 1

    04/25/2018, 11:33 PM
    oh I see, so the binding has to happen at the level of the model then?
    👍 1

    I was desperately trying to do that in the view then moving it into my controller class
