Good point, @Ruckus

I cannot inject fragments?

@thomasnield https://github.com/thomasnield/rxkotlinfx-tornadofx-demo/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/view/SalesPeopleView.kt#L122

what does that do?

I'm trying to use one of my objects (a list of a simple class with id and name) into an observable that I can add into the tableview

I managed to do that well with the basic tornadofx

but using rx I'm a bit lost

@bjonnh it's an event emitter for "refresh" actions, looks like it's fired to reload the SalesPerson list every time a save happens and the backing data changes (https://github.com/thomasnield/rxkotlinfx-tornadofx-demo/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/view/SalesPeopleView.kt#L114). Every time it's called it gets a list of all the SalesPerson and invokes the

subscribe

callback with that list, updating the tables items. The

doOnNext

call gets ran when the refresh action is invoked again, but before

subscribe

, and disposes of any resources it created earlier. The

flatMapSingle

maps the list into an

Observable<List<T>>

that gets fired once, instead of an

Observable<T>

that get fired with all the lists items I think. The callback in

subscribe

gets ran every time that all of that completes.

I'm wondering specifically about the setAll

oh, it's updating the tables items

that's within the

tableview

lambda, so

items

is https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/control/TableView.html#itemsProperty

I'm trying to use that with a ListOf<PubMedCitation>

how are you creating your table view?

let me paste my code, it will be easier

what does pubmeddb.listlimited() return?

there's both setAll(vararg items: T) and setAll(items: Collection<T>) so a List<PubMedCitation> should work

oh I think I got it

yes that was that

I was mixing types

I thought that if I passed a class that inherited from the type I had in my list it would work

obviously not 🙂

thanks

hm it should

setAll

has variance on the list's type

I guess anyway that the way it is done here is highly incompatible with really big databases

I had to remove the val all = pubmeddb.all() in the companion because it was loading everything even if I never called it

Haha I'm so glad people are reading my code with some success. I am still in the process of cleaning up that codebase a bit more, but the major functionality is pretty much done.
