I also struggle with reading that

I think

listView.bind(state.site.itemProperty)

should be enough to write, or even a specialized version:

listView.bind(state.site)

.

are you binding the state to the selectedItem or the selectedItem to the state?

yes!

The ListView needs to be in control, and that's the only thing that makes sense I think.

that is what I am struggling with 🙂

So maybe a better name would be

listView.bindSelected(state.site.itemProperty)

and a shorthand for ItemListView that is

listView.bindSelected(state.site)

it feels more natural to bind with the listview to the state controller then the other way around

yes

@edvin for the intellij plugins that you're working on...is there anything that would keep a root's "by fxml" in sync with a function? My "fun delete()" is showing as unused even though it's referenced in the .fxml

@carlw Interesting... that would be a very nice feature. Could you create an issue so I don't loose track of it?

@edvin on tornadofx or is there another project for the plugins?

@edvin #10

@carlw Great!

Adding the same for TableView now

does this also work fro treetableview?

Committed for both.

Yes, it should. I'll add it 🙂

@edvin I just pushed a readCache()-less version of the todo app. I plan on putting in the type safe builders today. I'm new to them, so I'm not sure how long it will take me. @ron For your pull request, do you mind if I pull your changes in manually rather than through the PR? I think we've decommissioned a bunch of stuff like the custom ListCell.

@ron TreeTableView has TreeItem<T>..

@carlw OK. I think you will run into the "I need a variable for this UI node" feeling, but you probably almost never need it if things are done in the TornadoFX way. It's not always bad though.

@carlw no problem Carl whatever works for you

Here is a small builder view I just wrote

Look at the disableProperty of the "Delete site" button. It doesn't need to get the selectedItem from the ListView, I just get the selected item from my state object.

If I didn't use a state object I would need a variable referencing the listview or atleast a property for the selectedItemProperty of that listview.

Things like this tend to result in nicer code.

(This is not done btw, I just did it to prototype the UI I'm converting from SWT)
