@kastork I think I've done several, this is one of them:

Thanks, I've seen that one too. I'm not specifically needing anything - the only reason I asked is that I thought that I remembered a recent discussion about a screencast on that topic and FX properties in general.

[kastork]

I take that back, I would like to see something specific if you ever decide to do this. The thing I've been struggling with is that I have a kotlin data class that is a nested data structure. That is, some properties are things like lists (normal lists, not observables), and other properties are other kotlin data classes. A good clean strategy for making editors for this nested structure has eluded me.

note: I'm using data classes and regular containers so that I can use the Kotlin serialization framework to persist data. It might be easier if I used the JSON in TFX, but I'd like to keep my persistence stuff independent of JavaFX.

I'm thinking the best strategy for that would be specific JavaFX domain objects, and add a constructor to them that takes one of the lean domain objects as parameter, and then a function inside the class to turn it back into a lean object. I never need this, because I never do persistence on the client. I convert to/from JSON in my JavaFX domain objects and pass them on to the server in charge of persistence over http with the built in rest client.
