That is pretty much what I had in mind, yes

gods give me that code, I was already coding something too 🙂

@User uploaded a file: Code for Master/Detail video above

Here you go. You can just run the MainView if you have the plugin or create a small app class.

The app class would just be

class MyApp: App(MainView::class)

Sorry @ron - was on the phone and got a bit bored 🙂 hehe

@dansvidania Let me know if you have any questions regarding what the code does. I see that we should have some smoother way to select/edit a record in a tableView, but apart from that this code is pretty concise.

you always use the

FXcollections

mine was

mutableListOf<Person>().observable

I used to use that, but I saw no reason to confuse existing JavaFX users with that syntax. I would use it in my own projects though.

I find it more readable less cluttered

@dansvidania Oh, I forgot to mention. This code uses features from TornadoFX 1.5.7-SNAPSHOT. I will release 1.5.7 with these features tomorrow.

Or maybe tonight, just waiting for the go-ahead from Thomas.

I was going to say, I cant run this 😄

but I can still get the gist from the code

You can always checkout tornadofx and build against trunk. It's very easy, just do

git clone <https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx> && cd tornadofx && mvn install

and change your version dependency to 1.5.7-SNAPSHOT.

seems like gradle is not able to fetch the library

i'll just add the jar manually

@dansvidania Maybe you didn't include

mavenLocal()

in your build script?

that's the case. Thanks again 😄

np!

@gtnarg pinned ’s Kotlin Code for Master/Detail video above to this channel.

Looking at TFX for its CSS support and thinking if it is possible to reuse somehow with https://github.com/orangy/kotlinx.css I was going to cleanup and publish to kotlinx. What do you think?

Do you mean reuse TFX CSS in kotlinx.css?

It would probably need to be a fork because of the differences in available css properties between CSS3 and JavaFX, but I can't imagine that would be a big job. We have implemented some of the stuff with JavaFX specific classes, like for example

fontWeight = FontWeight.BOLD

, where the bold properties are taken from

javafx.scene.text.FontWeight

. It would be easy to create standalone enums/classes for those things though. Or did you mean something else @orangy ?

Anyone having trouble getting to the tornado project? I think there's a ddos going on in the us

I mean using same builders, same types like Dimension, etc. Html and FX might have different set of standard properties.

NVM I just pulled up the site on my phone

Sorry for being dense here, but do you want to base the builders in kotlinx.css on TFX CSS? That would be just fine I think. We have gone the route of "no strings if you can avoid it", so css classes are defined before they can be used in selectors. The nice thing about that is that it would be possible to reference them from

kotlinx.html

with little effort. It's super nice to be able to track where a style is used and vice versa.

@carlw Works good here 🙂
