This affects JavaFX adoption. Anton Chechel wrote previously: In fact current NetBeans java language formatter already supports formatting of "chained method calls" (Menu-Tools-Options-Editor-Formatting-Java-Wrapping). So, answering your question, yes, I think we could support formatting of builder patter. Moreover it could be useful not even for FX code. We just need to determine some rules... |
JavaFX has Fluent API that support creation of multiple objects as a chain of method calls. It is really needed to have NetBeans to automatically format these chains as in the following example: setGraphic(HBoxBuilder.create() .children( ImageViewBuilder.create() .build(), VBoxBuilder.create() .children( HBoxBuilder.create() .children( LabelBuilder.create() .text("Presentation Title") .build(), new PresentationListCell.Spacer(), LabelBuilder.create() .text("60:07") .build() ) .build(), LabelBuilder.create() .text("Presentation Description") .build(), HBoxBuilder.create() .spacing(19) .id("presentation-labels") .children( LabelBuilder.create() .text("Presentation Authors") .build(), new PresentationListCell.Spacer(), new PresentationListCell.StarsSection(), LabelBuilder.create() .id("downloads-label") .text("76") .build(), LabelBuilder.create() .id("watches-label") .text("2119") .build(), LabelBuilder.create() .id("comments-label") .text("0") .build() ) .build() ) .build() ) .build());
