ScalaFX • simpler way to use JavaFX from Scala |
true |
ScalaFX is a UI DSL written within the Scala Language that sits on top of JavaFX 2 and JavaFX 8. Every ScalaFX application is also a valid Scala application. It supports full interoperability with Java and can run anywhere the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and JavaFX2 or JavaFX8 are supported.
ScalaFX uses a simple, hierarchical pattern for creating new objects and building up the scene graph. Here is a simple, complete application example that creates a new stage (window) with a rectangle that changes color based on mouse events:
{% highlight scala %} import scalafx.Includes._ import scalafx.application.JFXApp import scalafx.scene.Scene import scalafx.scene.paint.Color import scalafx.scene.shape.Rectangle
object HelloStageDemo extends JFXApp { stage = new JFXApp.PrimaryStage { title.value = "Hello Stage" width = 600 height = 450 scene = new Scene { fill = Color.LightGreen content = new Rectangle { x = 25 y = 40 width = 100 height = 100 fill <== when (hover) choose Color.Green otherwise Color.Red } } } } {% endhighlight %}
Some of the features of ScalaFX include:
- A programmer-friendly object-literal-like syntax
- Natural Language Bind Expressions
- Tailored Animation Syntax
- Fully Type-Safe APIs
- Seamless JavaFX/ScalaFX Interoperability
