Other Data structures

The framework provides a few data structures that can be used to simplify the creation of JavaFX applications.

Duplicator Javadocs

A Duplicator is a functional interface that takes an object and returns a duplicate of the object. It can be used to create copies of Objects such as JavaFX nodes. The framework used Duplicators for the For-Loops. For more information, see the section about Node duplication.

Subscriber Javadocs

The Subscriber is a utility class that can be used to manage subscriptions. It can be used to subscribe to observables without having to worry about disposing them one by one. For more information, see the section about subscriptions.

RefreshableDisposable Javadocs

The RefreshableDisposable is an interface defining disposables that can be refreshed. Refreshing a disposable will make it usable again, after it has been disposed. An example for this is the RefreshableCompositeDisposable.

ItemListDisposable Javadocs

The ItemListDisposable will run an action for all added items upon disposal. This can be used to clean up items in a list with a certain action in a single disposable.

ItemListDisposable<String> disposable = ItemListDisposable.of(item -> print(item), "!", "World");
disposable.add("Hello");
disposable.dispose(); // Will print "Hello", "World" and "!" to the console (LIFO order)

TraversableQueue Javadocs

A TraversableQueue is a queue that saves the latest n entries made to it. Like a normal queue, it can be used to store items in a FIFO order. When the queue is full, the oldest item will be removed. However, it also provides methods to traverse the queue, meaning you can go back and forth between items in the queue. When you go back in the queue and add a new item, all items after the current item will be removed. This can be compared to the history of a browser and is used for the history of routes.

Either Javadocs

The Either class combines two optionals into a single object. It used to represent a value with two possible types. The framework uses it for the history, where the Either can be either a controller or a route. It has some methods for checking which type it is and for getting the value correct value.
