Release 2.2.0

Changed

• Mark JavaFX dependency as transitive. Thanks to Sebastian Stenzel.
• Remove classifier = linux for JavaFX dependency in the pom file. This makes it easier to use the library on different OS without pulling-in the wrong dependencies.

Release 2.1.0

Added

• Added support for JDK >= 9. #21
• Added EasyObservableList#mapped as fluid alternative to EasyBind#map
• Added EasyObservableList#filteredWrapped as an alternative to EasyObservableList#filtered that returns an EasyObservableList instead of a FilteredList.
  • This allows fluid method chaining without having to wrap the FilteredList using EasyBind#wrapList again.
  • It is a temporary workaround that will be removed once openjdk/jfx#278 is merged.

Changed

• EasyBind#flatten and EasyBind#concat now return an EasyObservableList instead of an ObservableList.

v2.0.0

Added

• Added new interface EasyObservableList which is a wrapper around a standard ObservableList providing access to a few convenient helper methods. Use EasyBind.wrapList to create such a wrapper around a given ObservableList.
• Added new method EasyBind.reduce(list, accumulation) that creates a binding holding the result of the accumulation function on the provided list.
• Added a few new methods EasyBind.valueAt that are essentially equivalent to the standard Bindings.valueAt methods except that they gracefully handle non-existing values by returning a OptionalBinding.
• Completely reworked bindings for optional values:
  • New methods in ObervableOptionalValue having Value in the name provide convenient access to the corresponding method of an optional. For example, getValueOrElse and isValuePresent are analogs of Optional.getOrElse and Optional.isPresent.
  • New methods that create bindings whose value is computed similar to the corresponding methods in Optional, e.g. isPresent, isEmpty, orElse, flatMap.

Changed

• Renamed package to com.tobiasdiez.easybind.
• Split MonadicBinding into a part which is really concerned with optionals (new ObervableOptionalValue) and one which provides helper methods for a fluent interface for normal bindings (new EasyBinding).
• Renamed flatMap to mapObservable to avoid clashes with the corresponding method in Optional.
• The mapObservable and selectProperty now invoke the mapper even if the source observable value holds a null value. The corresponding methods in ObservableOptionalValue allow for a more convenient null handling.
• Renamed subscribe methods that accept listeners to listen, which invoke the given listener every time the value changes. In contrast, the subscribe method also invokes the given subscriber upon registration.
• Renamed EasyBind.listBind to bindContent in order to align with the naming of Bindings.bindContent.
• Moved PropertyBinding to com.tobiasdiez.easybind.

Removed

• Removed EasyBind.filter(ObservableValue<T> source, Predicate<? super T> predicate). Use EasyBind.wrapNullable(source).filter(predicate) instead.
• Removed EasyBind.orElse(ObservableValue<? extends T> source, T other). Use EasyBind.wrapNullable(source).orElse(other) instead.

v1.2.2

Added

• EasyBind.flatten(List<ObservableList<T>> lists) and EasyBind.concat(ObservableList<T>... lists) that create a new list combining the values of the given lists. Unlike FXCollections.concat(), updates to the source lists propagate to the combined list.
• EasyBind.mapBacked(ObservableList<A> source, Function<A, B> mapper) that works similar to EasyBind.map with the important difference that the mapper is applied only on initializing the list and not every time an item in the list is accessed.
• EasyBind.filter
• EasyBind.flatMap
• EasyBind.selectProperty
• EasyBind.orElse
• Support for Java Module System by providing correct module information.
