Titles

The title of a controller or component can be set by annotating The class with @Title. The annotation takes an argument specifying the title of the controller or component. If no title is specified in the annotation, the transformed name of the class will be used as the title.

@Controller
@Title("My Todo List")
public class TodoController {
    // ...
}

If the controller or component specifies a resource bundle, the title can be a key in the resource bundle (e.g. @Title("%title.key")). The framework will then automatically set the title of the controller/component to the value of the key in the resource bundle. See the section about internationalization for more information.

@Controller
@Title("%title.todo")
public class TodoController {
    
    @Resource
    ResourceBundle resourceBundle;
}

When displaying this controller/component, the framework will automatically set the title of the window to “My Todo List”. In order to eliminate redundancy, you can use the setTitlePattern method of the FulibFxApp class to set a pattern which will be used to format the title of the window. The pattern can either be provided as a string containing a placeholder for the title or as a function taking the title as an argument and returning the formatted title.

   
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    super.start(primaryStage);
    setTitlePattern("TODO - %s"); // Results in "TODO - My Todo List"
    setTitlePattern(title -> "TODO - " + title + " v1.0"); // Results in "TODO - My Todo List v1.0"
}

The FulibFxApp class also provides methods for getting the title of a controller for other purposes. Using getTitle will return the title of the controller as a string. This can be formatted using the formatTitle method
