Alright! I got the new project running with no NPEs - the manual edit did the trick.

The easiest way to create a run configuration is to click the gutter icon for the App class

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez uploaded a file:

Search by name works just fine

Aha! I didn't even know about that tab, so I probably need to implement a function to return candidates for it

I'll look at it tomorrow, it's past midnight here now and I'm ready for bed 🙂

It's all good! I thought I made an edit proposal, but I can't find it now. I'll be sure to add again along with a few other setup notes - i.e. "Working Directory" in Edit Configurations accepts

$MODULE_DIR$

, so you're not so concerned about the placement of your project

If you would add an issue to the plugin project I'd be very grateful 🙂

url? I found the place where I want to make an edit for documentation

Issues for the IDEA plugin: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-idea-plugin/issues Documentation for TornadoFX: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx-guide/issues You can also add issues to the Gitbook directly: https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/edvin/tornadofx-guide/details

why can't we use TornadoFX DSLs in a Controller? i.e.

private fun housePane(position: Pos): StackPane {
        val houseNum = (1..6).random()

        return stackpane {
            rectangle {
                fill = c("4E9830")
                width = 100.0
                height = 100.0
            }
            imageview("house$houseNum.png").apply {
                alignment = position
            }
        }
    }

rewriting in the controller was fine but I couldn't quite figure out how to assign the position for just the image.

fun housePane(position: Pos): StackPane {
        val houseNum = (1..6).random()
        val rectangle = Rectangle(100.0, 100.0, c("4E9830"))
        val image =  ImageView("house$houseNum.png")
        val stackPane = StackPane(rectangle, image)
        stackPane.alignment = rectangle, ???
        return StackPane(rectangle, image)
    }

you probably want a regular Pane not a StackPane

and then use the translateX/translateY properties to position it

StackPane positions children itself so you can't easily do pixel-precise positioning with it, it's not meant for that. regular Pane doesn't lay out its children, it's up to you

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez You can use the DSL from anywhere, but you can only create the root node with the builder syntax from a UIComponent. Once you're "inside" any EventTarget subclass, the builders are available.

The builders need something to attach to you see 🙂

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez I think I found the API I need to implement to support choosing a class. There is a ClassChooser interface in the plugin API 🙂

Sorry, I had work really late tonight

This is great, thanks! I'll be sure to add this as a note. @edvin that's wonderful to hear! I know there's a community edition for Jetbrains, I never thought about looking into their API

Guys, I am having a bit of hard time setting svg image into a button using css dsl. The below solution set the size right but the end result is not near to the ImageView solution at all

backgroundImage += URI("/close.svg")
backgroundSize += BackgroundSize(16.0, 16.0, false, false, false, false)
backgroundRepeat += Pair(BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT, BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT)
backgroundPosition = multi(BackgroundPosition.CENTER)

Is there any way I can set an image and scale smoothly using css?

@anidotnet uploaded a file:

The red button is using css dsl and other buttons are ImageView solution

well, why not use a circle node?

Not all images are circle

no, but i meant for the ones that are

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez The IDEA plugin is compiled against a special development kit, which is included with the IDEA Community Edition 🙂

@anidotnet I'm afraid I don't have any pointers for you, but the issue isn't related to the css dsl, so you could google for generic javafx solutions to this issue. Hopefully somebody have had this issue before.
