@edvin you are awesome, I think this fits my needs really well. As soon as I'm not behind a firewall I'll play with it more, but from what I see in these videos and messing with the plugin, I think this is pretty slick!

And thanks for allowing this digression, I hope others find it useful too and not just me : )

Cool 🙂 Very glad you brought it up, I knew I needed to add the "Create ViewModel" action anyways, and I'm certain we can make this work for your use case as well. But please let me know if we can do something to make this work even better for you. I'll release a version of the plugin that includes the improvements Ron pointed out also

Version 1.5.5.4 is available now. There has been 700 downloads of the plugin so far, btw 🙂

@edvin Awesome, I don't see any issues with it and I think you are right, it should do everything I need it to. Glad you guys pushed to put everything towards the

ViewModel

, it's becoming quite a utility. I'll update the documentation on it as soon as I get a chance. Been swamped with deliverables this week using TornadoFX, haha which is why I was filing issues.

That is impressive!

The amount of traffic TornadoFX has gotten is wild

Haha, so cool that you're swamped with actually using TornadoFX 🙂 Yeah, I strongly believe that what TornadoFX represents was really missing for JavaFX development.

I believe that too, the JavaFX community really needed something like TornadoFX, as well as desktop UI's in general.

I'm using TornadoFX and Rx daily, and doing nothing else

since February this year

About the plugin: It seems that I'm able to do almost anything now (not always using the correct approach, but I find ways to get it to do what I want), so if you can dream up useful features let's have it! Every time I've made a new feature I've started with the thought "this is going to be too hard", but then it is done before I know it 🙂

Okay awesome! Haha believe me I'll have some ideas going forward. I may try to make sense of the plugin source code too because I'd like to contribute.

One idea that might be easy...

Oh my.. Be warned, that thing is not beautiful and should be brutally refactored. I've learned a lot while hacking on it and realized I've done so much "the hard way".

No worries! I am in no position to judge. One idea that might be easy... Convert all properties to JavaFX properties at once?

Without selecting each one?

Now I'm just being lazy!

That should be quite easy.

Awesome!

It will be more of a refactoring job than anything else.

And then any initialization parameters in constructor will then get passed down too, like I believe it does already...

Yep 🙂

I think I found an issue in Accordion.fold

or I do wrong 😉

@User uploaded a file: Untitled and commented: you would want to set expanded to true on the fold that is created in layout.kt

@thomasnield I added the "Create TornadoFX Properties for all members" action to the plugin as well 🙂

I think we need to take a look at that Accordion builder, I think @Ruckus had some insight into it as well

for me this solves it
