JFXNodeMapper

JFXNodeMapper is a simple library that focuses on mapping data from common data represntation formats to JavaFx Nodes. Our main focus is to build a library that,

• Requires minimal configuration.
• Easy to understand.
• Small Size.

Features

• Automatic Node traversal to find children nodes and assign data to them based on their ids.
• Accept JSON and ResultSet as data source.
• Support custom mappings for nodes that has custom datatypes using event listners
• Supports customised datatype conversions.

Upcoming Features

• Support for csv and xml.
• Reverse mapping, i.e convert Nodes to JSON ,CSV and XML,

How to use JFXNodeMapper in your project

• Add JFXNodeMapper to your project
• Assign id to nodes same as the Key/Column name
• (Optional) Assign custom mapping to node
• Pass the root node or parent node that contains the required fields to be mapped.
• Pass data source.
• See the Magic

Examples

• Mapping from a JSON string

Scene scene = parent.getScene();
Node root = scene.getRoot();
DataMapper mapper = new DataMapper();
mapper.setRoot(root);
String json = getJsonFromServer();
mapper.setDataFromJSON(json); // json keys and node ids should match

• Mapping from a ResultSet object

Scene scene = parent.getScene();
Node root = scene.getRoot();
DataMapper mapper = new DataMapper();
mapper.setRoot(root);
Resulset resultset = getAllStudentDetails();
mapper.setDataFromResultSet(resultSet); //column name and node ids should match

• Mapping from JSON string with custom mapping

Scene scene = parent.getScene();
Node root = scene.getRoot();
DataMapper mapper = new DataMapper();
mapper.setRoot(root);
String json = getJsonFromServer();
// this listner will be called whenever the specified id is encountered.
// this will override all other mappings for the specified id
mapper.mapToCustomDataType("subject-combo", (data, id, node) -> {
  ComboBox<String> subs = (ComboBox<String>) node;
  String subject = (String)data;
  subs.getItems.add(subject);
});
mapper.setDataFromJSON(json); // JSON keys and node ids should match
