Cool 🙂

I think TornadoFX has all the pieces in place (event bus) to do what I'm trying to articulate

Sweet 🙂

...back to my JMS code

I don't think I"ll ever be able to get JMS off my resume.

I tried to like it a couple of times. Didn't take 🙂

Guys, I'm preparing the 1.5.9 release. Anything else we should include in this one?

Confusing requireemtns in that SO question. How about this?

You need RxKotlinFX as a dependency

@thomasnield That's tighter coupling towards the controller, but I don't see that Rx really adds much value here, if I understand this correctly it would be pretty much the same without rx. Not sure if tracking selectedIndicies is correct though, since the lists contains different people. I might not fully understand all that rx-swearing, so maybe it works as it should, but it looks suspicious to me 🙂 hehe Does this example add the missing persons to the other list on selection?

Yeah I'm not sure if I fully understand the full requirements here, and as I started hammering it out I found the Rx benefits to become marginalized. I'll look at it again in a moment... Gotta beat the Christmas traffic for some errands

And no I did not tackle that part

But I think @edvin your approach is looking pretty good for this example. The complexity was much more than I thought it would be. I'll study it more later because I want to understand these patterns better.

I'd like to explore other ways to solve this as well, but we should have the full use case, because right now this doesn't look so useful 🙂 hehe

In his app, I bet the buttons are not named "Sync", and he probably have data that conveys the meaning better.

@edvin that was my first thought when I saw those. The problem is messy in general, and tools streamlined for common use cases become not so streamlined for uncommon cases like this

Absolutely, so we try to push a round object through a square hole. It does work quite well though. Let me create a 10 sec screencast to show how this works now.

Awesome!

@edvin on a separate note, I wanted to ask. I actually have time to do some more guide work in the next 10 days. I've got nothing happening with OReilly for the first time either. I think we both agree that the TornadoFX Guide will always evolve and change to keep up with the framework. Is there a state you want to reach where it gets "published" and printed?

@edvin I implemented the SO requirement with "Sync >>>" and "<<< Sync" as the button labels

@User uploaded a file: SO annswer in action

Take a look at this screencast. The first sync is for "Arya Stark", which is present in both lists. The other list gets focused and Arya is selected. All the other syncs include people not available in the other list, so the person is transferred before the new entry is selected and that table gets focused.

@thomasnield About the guide - I think if we get all the stuff from the wiki over we are golden for a first release. If we can identify what's missing it shouldn't be a big job to transfer that, and rewrite some of it. After that we could spend some time on proof reading and then push out a first edition perhaps? 🙂

I'll also be able to work on the guide a lot during the holidays, so maybe we can actually get there. That would be fantastic 🙂

I'll do the 1.5.9 release today, then start looking at what's missing from the guide.

@edvin sounds good! And please don't work over the holidays on account that I am little bit. But that sounds like a good plan

@thomasnield I love to work during the holidays 🙂 hehe

@Ruckus Looking at all the ids, elements etc you added for the CSS support.. What an undertaking. Fantastic work! Why are the csselement names "proper cased" instead of camel cased?

I don't have a reason 🙂 I wasn't sure how they should be capitalized. I see three options: 1. ProperCase - That's how they get rendered in css 2. camelCase - That's standard Java/Kotlin style 3. lowercase - To match the TornadoFX builders I chose option 1 simply because it was quicker to copy and paste from modena. What do you guys think would be the best option?
