Passing data to FXML - Specifying the controller instance

Problem: Some data needs to be passed to a scene loaded from a fxml. Solution Set the controller using the FXMLLoader instance used later to load the fxml. Make sure the controller contains the relevant data before loading the fxml. Note: in this case the fxml file must not contain the fx:contro...

Type Signatures

In Elm, values are declared by writing a name, an equals sign, and then the actual value: someValue = 42 Functions are also values, with the addition of taking a value or values as arguments. They are usually written as follows: double n = n * 2 Every value in Elm has a type. The types of th...

Basic Types

In elm-repl, type a piece of code to get its value and inferred type. Try the following to learn about the various types that exist: > 42 42 : number > 1.987 1.987 : Float > 42 / 2 21 : Float > 42 % 2 0 : Int > 'e' 'e' : Char > "e" "e" : St...

Type Variables

Type variables are uncapitalized names in type-signatures. Unlike their capitalized counterparts, such as Int and String, they do not represent a single type, but rather, any type. They are used to write generic functions that can operate on any type or types, and are particularly useful for writing...

Type Aliases

Sometimes we want to give a type a more descriptive name. Let's say our app has a data type representing users: { name : String, age : Int, email : String } And our functions on users have type signatures along the lines of: prettyPrintUser : { name : String, age : Int, email : String } -> S...

Improving Type-Safety Using New Types

Aliasing types cuts down on boilerplate and enhances readability, but it is no more type-safe than the aliased type itself is. Consider the following: type alias Email = String type alias Name = String someEmail = "[email protected]" someName = "Benedict" sendEmail ...

Keyword-only and Keyword-required arguments

Python 3 allows you to define function arguments which can only be assigned by keyword, even without default values. This is done by using star * to consume additional positional parameters without setting the keyword parameters. All arguments after the * are keyword-only (i.e. non-positional) arg...

Customizing TableCell look depending on item

Sometimes a column should show different content than just the toString value of the cell item. In this case the TableCells created by the cellFactory of the TableColumn is customized to change the layout based on the item. Important Note: TableView only creates the TableCells that are shown in the...

Convert all columns of a data.frame to character class

A common task is to convert all columns of a data.frame to character class for ease of manipulation, such as in the cases of sending data.frames to a RDBMS or merging data.frames containing factors where levels may differ between input data.frames. The best time to do this is when the data is read ...

Use-cases

For example, if you are sending an email to a customer after starting a task, it's best to immediately redirect the user to the next page while queuing the email to be sent in the background. This will speed up the load time for the next page, since sending an email can sometimes take several second...
