mvvmFX VS AwesomeJavaFX

Hi, at some point in the past I used mvvmFX and it was pretty nice to work with, but sadly it looks abandoned. So does drombler-fx which I remember looking into around that time. There was also tornado-fx (don't mind doing GUI code in Kotlin) but that's unmaintained now too. All that I could find today is Griffon, although that's clearly slowing down as well.

I still like it 🤷‍♀️ The property system is excellent and if you use a framework on top of it (I prefer mvvmFX), it's a breeze to build some quite complex stuff.

I'd recommend using some kind of framework, personally I like mvvmFX

I think the MVVM pattern is the one you are looking for. Take a look at this framework that implements it in javafx https://github.com/sialcasa/mvvmFX

I would recommend using a Framework such as mvvmFX. Using such a framework coupled with a DI framework like Guice (for which mvvmFX has native support) lends itself very well to a complex UI build out of multiple views, stiched together either by using fx:include or views loaded programatically with it's FluentViewLoader, with data shared via Scopes and Repository classes injected into the ViewModels. I would highly recommend not using stock JavaFX for anything complicated.

You can take a look at this: https://github.com/sialcasa/mvvmFX/tree/develop/examples

It's like abandoned AwesomeJavaFX, but with nice charts and highlights. So, next time someone says JavaFX is dead or unmaintained, you can just share the link. And even if you already know everything about the JavaFX, I think it's still maybe interesting to see how it looks in numbers. Enjoy and happy new year!

Both Awesome Java and Awesome JavaFX have very comprehensive lists of frameworks.

In the end there are lots of libraries for components out there to use. I regularly turn to this list https://github.com/mhrimaz/AwesomeJavaFX to check what is "out there".
