@User uploaded a file: Intercept System.out.println() to TextArea

@User uploaded a file: hacky message

@groostav commented on @edvin’s file https://kotlinlang.slack.com/files/U0F3291QE/F4B3C9U3V/Intercept_System_out_println___to_TextArea.kt: yeah, this looks pretty good but I'm afraid of concurrency

@groostav I don't know if you need to think about that, because all of this would happen on the JavaFX Application Thread, wouldn't it? If not, the LoggingStream could just keep one byte array per thread that logs.

I made it auto-flush when \r was sent 🙂

yeah, hmm

what is the type of

FX.eventBus

?

can you include the imports in that snippit?

@groostav I included the imports and also made the

LoggingStream

keep track of one bytearray per thread. Probably a bit naive, but it'll do the trick.

The type of

FX.eventBus

is

tornadofx.EventBus

surely theres a

val output: ByteArrayOutputStream by threadLocal { ByteArray() }

Nice, didn't know about that delegate 🙂

no i mean, im not sure if thats what its called but somebody must have written one

I can't find it either.

Somebody should have!

Hehe 🙂

oh comon that has to be in the Standard library, I cant be the first person to think of that

Haha, you should absolutely submit a PR!

Gotta get to bed. Talk to you later guys! Let me know how it goes with this logging business Geoff 🙂

will do, thanks for your help

actually before you go @edvin, can I ask you one quick question about markdown?

Ive consistently been annoyed in javafx with the TextFlow component

i hate it

I really just want to write markdown documents and get them rendered nicely

There are markdown components for JavaFX but they use webview and that seems like using a sledgehammer to get a mosquito

Absolutely.. There is a project called MarkDownFX which supports two markdown parsers and turns the resulting node hierarchy into an editable (or optionally non-editable) TextFlow hierachy.

One of those libraries creates a nice node tree, so it would be pretty easy to use that to render any kind of JavaFX node hierarchy I guess, if you need something even ligther.

ahhh nifty

thanks, good night!
