A minimalist text editor for all your composition needs. Spend less time fiddling with technology and more time writing.

Installation

Run main in ./textEditor/Main.java.

Features

• Load functionality for .txt and source code files.
• Directly writes to your originally loaded file when you want to save.
• Creates a new .txt file to save your work in the case that you haven't loaded a file.
• A text area for writing, styling, sizing or font-switching your text.

Technology

JavaFX

an open source, next generation client application platform for desktop, mobile and embedded systems built on Java. It is a collaborative effort by many individuals and companies with the goal of producing a modern, efficient, and fully featured toolkit for developing rich client applications.

InlineCSSTextArea from RichTextFX

RichTextFX provides a memory-efficient text area for JavaFX that allows the developer to style ranges of text, display custom objects in-line (no more HTMLEditor), and override the default behavior only where necessary without overriding any other part of the behavior.

Methods and Testing

All testing is done in ./testCases.

Methods tested:

• onLoad() - checks for the correct loading of files into InlineCSSTextArea and file paths.
• onSave() - checks for the correct writing of files into a loaded file or saving of a new .txt file.
• onClose() - checks for the status of the client's work save and continues accordingly.
• Scrapped [styling]Text(), set[font]Font(), setFontSize[size]() - checks for the correct styling and consistency of text styling, fonts and font sizes.
