The itemviewmodel is very powerful

Together with

bindSelected

and

onCommit

life gets quite easy

I don't know if I would call it mvvm though

Jsf and wicket(my favourite web framework) is clearly MVC

I've never used Java to serve web pages, but recently liked the micro web frameworks for Java. When everything with the Web 2.0 started, I used no webframework, when the Web 2.0 matured I used MVC with Rails and later micro webframeworks like Sinatra. I automatically categorize web frameworks either as Rails-like or Sinatra-like, because there are like 1000 clones. It seems Wicket has a quite different concept.

If you navigate from a list of type x to an editor for type x objects, the ItemViewModel is very powerful as Ron pointed out. You can automatically bind the selected element in the list to the viewmodel, and it can simply be injected into the editor and you're always editing the selected item. The automatic rebind when the item inside the model changes is also very handy. The ItemViewModel has cleaned up a lot of navigation boiler plate as well as editing boiler plate for me.

Interestingly I use a small master/detail and rollback/commit/dirty killer example with a list of countries I use. It took me hours to implement it in Knockout.js and Angular. I think with TornadoFX

ItemViewModel

it is trivial to implement.

It should be 🙂 These kinds of things seems to be almost corner cases in some frameworks, or at least it's not easy to do. Here it is simple, and no boiler plate 🙂

Absolutely.

I used Wicket back in the day as well. Was very happy with it, but we actually use JSF now for our biggest web based software, the hosting control panel. I'm actually very happy with it, although there are 1000 quirks with that thing. When you know them (all), it's trivial. I ended up creating my own framework on top of JSF of course.. hehe.. I didn't know any JSF when I started, and it's not a beautiful or elegant framework in any way, but it works very well.

I made all those components because I use them all in the control panel 🙂

But most of all I'd like JPro to work so well that we can start writing JavaFX apps in the browser.

I still don't know what I think about jpro

Well actually I do know use a framework for what it is intended for mobile I always want either a mobile site or a native app

JPro seems to completely render the controls as SVG. Could this lead to performance problems? I mean, SVG rendering in Chrome is fast, but it could definitely be faster (see the work by Mozilla on Webrender)

and how fast is it on edge or internet explorer?

@edvin I still have this code that is not in tornadoFX, dont know if you want it in there

@ron How is it different from the default fold? (Don't remember the included one)

@ron Working on your PR now 🙂

The default fold does not have the expanded parameter

That seems to be completely backwards compatible. I can just add it to the existing Accordion.fold 🙂

@User uploaded a file:

Found my old Bootstrap/Knockout example (early 2012 I guess). I had a backup as mail draft attachment on Google Mail, but Google says the zipped git repository might be a virus. Had to retrieve the project from an old notebook...

I knowsimple smile

@ron Committed 🙂

@hastebrot Looking good 🙂 Did you create it in TornadoFX yet?

That should actually be quite easy in tornadofx
