@edvin - I thought there was a jpro defect you were waiting on a fix for - did that ever get resolved?

How does this work (lambda after the

String

):

range {
    "age" {
        from = 10
        to = 20
    }
}

That "age" block is somehow creating a

RangeBlock.RangeData

instance.

@carlw He Carl. Your reaction time is so short and it works. Great. Thanks again. In Edvin's css file for ListMenu I found label using textfill (tornadofx/src/main/resources/tornadofx/listmenu.css), but this doesn't work in translation to typesafe css. Maybe I don't understand it in the right way.

in particular, none of this is a javafx aware model. I assume i'll want to sort of make similar replica using javafx properties to use as the view model and have that all hook up? I think probably know where to go with it, I was just wondering if anyone had any good examples where the structure and data changed somewhat often

What is the correct way of adding views to a vbox-view? I have this code, that works, but it doesn't feel like it's the best way to do it? import tornadofx.*

vbox {
  add(SubViewA::class)
  add(SubViewB::class)
  add(SubViewC::class)
  add(SubViewD::class)
}

Assuming

SubViewX

is a

Fragment

10K views in three days. That is the power of a buzzword I guess. Just use the words "neural network" and people travel from near and far.

Hi all, I'm using Eclipse with the Kotlin plugin. I've just opened up my workspace after a days inactivity and now get this on every .kt file I open:

does anyone have a reference they could point me to for loading a json file (rather than url). I've found the documentation that shows me the different load methods, but I can't figure out how to work it. Continuing my quest, but wondered if there was such an article or such like?

another question for you? I've just got form validators working. 🙂 yet another surprise on how easy and useful. Is there a way to force the cursor to the first error field? I'm validating on each field entry but also on button click. After button click, if invalid, I would like to move the cursor to the first error

Hello again all. Hope everyone is having a good day today! I'm getting into the styling of my application and have been messing around with the idea of a default "theme" that I would override when necessary rather than what I would normally do for a web application (which is to say, just add css classes to elements as I make them). I was wondering if anyone has made a theme (in the traditional javafx sense, I guess just something that encompasses all possible widgets) with the TornadoFX type-safe css builders, and if so if there is like, a template somewhere that I can use as a starting point? Or more broadly, maybe: what is the best practice for styling an application?

This article has a little on MVVM which I've used in the C# world. I've maintained a few plain JavaFX apps and they suffer from what I call "fat controller syndrome" where the controllers become coupled to both the view and the model, breaking any semblance of encapsulation. https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_tornadofx_mvvm.html My designs lately -- for the larger JavaFX stuff I do and the smaller TornadoFX apps I support -- have been to establish a one-direction object graph whereby commands go from View -> ViewModel -> Model. I then use notifications or the Event Bus as a back channel for when the frontmost layers need to be aware of some data that's just come in.

So this is what I came up with.

the KEEP proposal with the most votes right now (type classes for kotlin) is from one of the arrow guys i think: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/87

I want to check out Ktor too

ok, anyone have a good example of something like a side navigation menu, where each item would bring forward a new view into the main viewing area? I'm using the JFoenix drawer and all of that is fine. I'm looking more for the "right" way to handle setting up the menu items, clicking on them, and having the views change, and having the active menu item be highlighted. Its one of those things i know i can brute force my way into with actions and listeners and things we hate, but want to try to do it in a more proper tornadofx/binding/eventbus way.

I have a sealed parent class with one open value. 2 child classes implement it, overriding that value. And I want to make something happen to the value upon object creation. Dont know how to achieve that.

you'll want a weak reference if you're going to keep a bi-directional relationship

if you want to learn more about weak references, I'd read a few articles on "weak" with Swift, Objective-C or C#. they seem a little more honest about its importance than Java

Sergio: what do you mean with style based on two columns?

@iari no, populate is walking all files 😞 this Leaf method is cleaner and faster for client

@Sergio Casero As far as i know, there is no such thing as an explicit "on item click listener" What I have been doing so far, which worked quite well, is the following:

@Spike Baylor I ended up punting on the ListMenu and used a ToggleGroup. But this has the concept: two UI controls drawing their value off of the same model element. The EventBus figures prominently here as a way of giving the model a single point of update.

How do I create a Gradle build script with Kotlin DSL, not Groovy? Are there some examples?

Just added TornadoFX to the skill-icon wall on my homepage ;D

Hello all, I'm am a long time JavaFX enthusiast, but new to Kotlin and TornadoFX. I was able to run the hello world example easily from the IntelliJ plugin. So far it's been pretty simple to use.. I'm still kicking the tires.😁 Some of you I follow on Twitter.

@carldea I think we discussed that about two weeks ago. I'm still trying to get RxJavaFX 11 deployed. It's definitely on our minds.

Hi guys, how can I fit component to the parent size when I have this hierarchy?

@carldea did you ever use Visage with JavaFX?
