JavaFXUtils

The aim of JavaFXUtils Repository, is to create a Framework with some utilities for JavaFX Framework, creating some small components to help developers building their own applications.

Feel free to contribute by creating new components, finding or solving bugs, documenting and sharing this Repository! :)

Framework

Component is a class that implements IComponent which mounts some utilities on Node object, for example: Imagine that we want to trigger some code on double click of a Button.

With JavaFX you can do something like:

     Button button = new Button();

     button.setOnMouseClicked((event)->{
          if(event.getClickCount() == 2)
               this.onDoubleClick();
     });

On JavaFXUtils there is DoubleClickable which deal with click count for you, so you can write the equivalent to the above code like:

     Button button = new Button();

     new DoubleClickable(button, this::onDoubleClick).mount();

All components existent:

Component	src	demo
Animation	src	demo
ButtonMagnifier	src	demo
ChangeButtonOnPass	src	demo
ChangeButtonOnPress	src	demo
ChangeMouseOnPass	src	demo
ChangeMouseOnPress	src	demo
DoubleClickable	src	demo
FXMLFile	src	demo
ImageMagnifier	src	demo
Movable	src	demo
MultiOption	src	demo
PassAnimation	src	demo
PressAnimation	src	demo
PressAndPassAnimation	src	demo
Tip	src	demo
Window	src	demo

It is usual to mount different components over the same node for example

• Mount tooltip
  

• Mount magnifier
  

• Mount double click
  

which will result in code like:

     Button button;
		
     new ButtonMagnifier(button).mount();
     new Tip(button, "Button with Tip").mount();
     new DoubleClickable(button, this::OnDoubleClick).mount();

To avoid pass always the same node and invoke mount for all components there is ComponentMounter and some extensions (which can be seen on table bellow) like ButtonMounter, which permits to chain various component a mount them over the same node. This classes permits to write the equivalent to the above code like:

     Button button;
		
     new  ButtonMounter(button)
          .buttonMagnifier()
          .tip("Button with Tip")
          .doubleClickable(this::onDoubleClick)
          .mount();
