12. TornadoFX IDEA Plugin
Do this for each property and your Client class should now look like this.
class Client(id: Int, name: String) {
var id by property(id)
fun idProperty() = getProperty(Client::id)
}
var name by property(name)
fun nameProperty() = getProperty(Client::name)
Your Client now uses JavaFX properties instead of plain properties. Notice the primary
constructor will pass the intial values to the property() delegates, but you do not have to
provide initial values if they are not desired.
This is a time-saving feature when creating domain types for data controls. Next we will
cover how to generate TableView columns.
Generating Columns for a TableView
Another handy feature you can do with the plugin also is generating columns for a
TableView . If you have a TableView , you can put the cursor on its declaration,
press ALT + ENTER, and get a prompt to generate the columns (Figure 13.13).
