Thanks so much guys!! I'm REALLY excited to see everyone there. I wasn't expecting too much because I'm young and I only submitted one, I almost had a heart attack when I was told

It was you guys that got me there. I love thinking about where I started and how ya'll tolerated the dumbest questions but over time I got to stretch past documentation and now advocate native dev for the industry and researching furthering OOP metapeogramming. It's been hands-down the best journey I've been on. Thanks to everyone on here, seriously

@edvin how are you on promotional tornadofx keycaps? are you still going? should I send the rest of mine along?

@gtnarg You could do

myView.whenUndocked { }

, but that won't release the listener once the view is undocked (same problem as your existing solution, but you could have changed to

onChangeOnce

). Maybe we need

whenUndockedOnce

Looks terrible, but might do the trick 🙂

One thing I had a tough time grasping was when it's better to use docking versus modal - in my last small project I used modal for the editor because it was easier to pass information that way

Something like this. Asset is an object attribute of AfaEntry.

You should look into the

select

function.

i'll try to post something later. i was hoping for column("City", "addr.city.name") but that didn't work right away

@Ruckus Is this what you were thinking?

Using Bindings.select() with String path rather than explicit method reference on property

what does tornadoFX use for the json model?

pike

06/19/2018, 1:15 AM

Asking since I'm using KTOR and need use an http client to scrape for information.

@pike TornadoFX has lightweight JSON support that is freakishly easy to use

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

06/19/2018, 11:56 PM

I'll post an example of one my JSON models I used that parses the JSON file and likewise, can be transferred the other way as well

@pike and to load your json files to the model:

private val modules = loadJsonArray(javaClass.getResource("/JSON/TileBuilder.json")).toModel<TileBuilder>()

pike

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez yeah, I know how nice it is, I was just wondering what's it built on, I'm trying to set up a multiplatform project with KTOR and React

pike

06/20/2018, 12:11 AM

that's pretty neat about loading it from a file, I never thought to do that.

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

06/20/2018, 12:17 AM

whoops -I misread the question. That's something I'll have to look into the source code itself - I'm sure it's more DSL builders

pike

06/20/2018, 12:22 AM

I mean there are tons of json libraries, but I love how easy tornadofx makes it

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez If you use scopes, you'd pass information in the same way regardless of the way you construct the view or move between screens. Docking vs Modal would be no different 🙂 That's why I love scopes, it's easier to change the flow without having to change the information flow.
