CeylonFX

CeylonFX is a Ceylon interface for JavaFX.

STATUS: This project is in early stages and is not currently ready for production. Want to help get it ready? Make a pull request or contact me to know how to best contribute!

Here's a quick example of what code written with CeylonFX looks like (this example already works):

Application {
	args = process.arguments;
	Stage {
		title = "CeylonFX Demo Application";
		() => Scene {
			fill = black;
			dimension = [600.0, 150.0];
			VBox {
				spacing = 20;
				insets = Insets { top = 15.0; };
				minimumSize = [600.0, 0.0];
				alignment = center;
				Text {
					text = "Welcome to CeylonFX";
					underline = true;
					font = font("Arial", 48.0);
					fill = LinearGradient { [0.0, blue], [0.75, cyan], [1.0, white] };
				},
				Text {
					text = "Under construction...";
					font = font("Arial", 12.0);
					fill = white;
				}   
			}
		};
	};
};

Getting started

Importing the CeylonFX module

Currently, here's what you need to do from the command-line:

git clone git@github.com:renatoathaydes/CeylonFX.git
cd CeylonFX
ceylon compile --out +USER ceylonfx

Once we have something that is more or less complete, we will try to make this project available from Ceylon Herd so you won't need to do any of this.

To run the demo code shown above, just type ceylon run ceylonfx.

You should then add this declaration to your Ceylon module:

import ceylonfx "0.2.0"

And that's it! You're ready to start using CeylonFX in your project.

CeylonFX samples

A few basic CeylonFX samples can be found in the samples directory.

To compile the samples module, go to the CeylonFX root directory and type:

ceylon compile --src samples/ samples

To see a list of available samples, just type:

ceylon run samples

To run a sample, checkbox for example, run:

ceylon run samples checkbox
