JavaFX properties look like this:
StringPrroperty nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();
public String getName() {
return nameProperty.get();
}
public void setName(String name) {
nameProperty.set(name);
}
public StringProperty nameProperty() {
return nameProperty;
}
There's also a lazy version that won't create the actual property until
it's used.
StringPrroperty nameProperty;
public String getName() {
if (nameProperty == null) {
return null;
} else {
return nameProperty.get();
}
}
public void setName(String name) {
if (nameProperty == null) {
nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();
}
nameProperty.set(name);
}
public StringProperty nameProperty() {
if (nameProperty == null) {
nameProperty = new SimpleStringProperty();
}
return nameProperty;
}
Finally, there's this version that delays creating a property until it's
legitimately needed. This is nice if you're doing a bunch of Swing/JavaFX
crossover stuff. No need for all the properties if the bean is being used
in, say, a Swing form or table. Also nice for raw loading of beans from a
DB for a report. JavaFX properties are a bit heavy. But the bean code is
just a bit much.
String _name;
StringProperty nameProperty;
public String getName() {
if (nameProperty != null) {
return nameProperty.get();
} else {
return _name;
}
}
public void setName(String name) {
if (nameProperty != null) {
nameProperty.set(name);
} else {
_name = name;
}
}
public StringProperty nameProperty() {
if (nameProperty == null) {
nameProperty = new SimpleProperty(_name);
}
return nameProperty;
}
I just use the first, easy style in my work. I'm not working with volumes
where the properties have been an issue.
Netbeans has never had JavaFX property support that I know of.
Even Lombok does not have support for FX style properties.
Myself, I've been just cutting and pasting into ChatGPT when I need them in
bulk. "The ultimate wizard".
I love JavaFX properties, they're super powerful.
