SlotMachine Example

An example of an MVC component with JavaFX.

There's a writeup about this article here.

Overview

The program is an example of creating reusable MVC components with JavaFX.

The model is a simple POJO that uses a JavaBeans Property:

There will be 2 such models instantiated at run time. They will exist as separate tabs in a TabPane:

Files

• bin/ contains an executable JAR of the program
• docs/ contains all of the diagrams and images. The UML was created with UMLet and the diagrams were created with Balsamiq
• nbproject/ contains NetBeans project files (minus the private directory). This project is best used in NetBeans though it is not necessary.
• MainCLI.java A class to run a system I/O loop.
• MediumExample.java This is the Main class.
• SlotMachine.java The model.
• SlotMachineTab.fxml The view template.
• SlotMachineTabController The controller for the view template
• slotmachinetab.css Any styles for the template would go here.
