Oh, that's meta 🙂

Hehe 🙂 But actually useful, will illustrate later. It works good with JPro as well.

Okay, cool

Let's say you want to open a new window to edit a Customer. Everything in that window can use Views and Controllers injected in the normal way, but they will only share data within that window. Then it makes sense to have a CustomerScope which can be shared between editors in that one window.

Indeed

Ah, okay, that makes more sense

To open a new window you might do

find(CustomerEditor::class, CustomerScope(customer)).openModal()

for example.

So it's only localized for that instance, okay...

That's pretty slick

Yes 🙂 But let's say you use

CustomerController

to interact with a db, you might not want a separate instance of that for each editor. So in your

CustomerEditor

you can inject the

CustomerController

so that you get a shared/global instance instead:

val controller : CustomerController by inject(DefaultScope)

Ah, I see

That makes sense, because some resources should be shared

esp database connection pools

That's pretty awesome

Absolutely. For database connections you probably must do that. For Rest endpoints I guess it doesn't matter, but it would probably just be wasteful to create a new instance for each editor unless the controller is stateful.

You're setting a high standard for JPRO that vanilla JavaFX applications have to compete with

I'm really liking this thing 🙂

🙂

Hehe.. This all came pretty naturally, and much thanks to @carlw who put me on the MDI track.

Nice work guys

I guess I'm off for the night (the wife has made all sorts of Halloween plans). I'll catch up tomorrow.

Wait before you go...

I can't figure this out

Well done @edvin and @carlw

How come none of my red formatting is applied? trying to create examples for the guide

Oh I forgot its halloween, okay I give you permission to leave

I'll bother you later
