Class FxAsync

java.lang.Object

moe.tristan.easyfxml.util.FxAsync

public final class FxAsync
extends Object

Convenience utility methods for cleaner asynchronous cross-thread calls.

Basically a glorified replacement of Platform.runLater(Runnable) that offers task-style methods and allows for computational calls.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <T,U> CompletionStage<U>	computeOnFxThread(T element, Function<T,U> compute) Asynchronously executes a computing operation on the JavaFX thread.
static <T> CompletionStage<T>	doOnFxThread(T element, Consumer<T> action) Asynchronously executes a consuming operation on the JavaFX thread.

Method Detail

doOnFxThread

public static <T> CompletionStage<T> doOnFxThread(T element,
                                                  Consumer<T> action)

Asynchronously executes a consuming operation on the JavaFX thread.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the element consumed

Parameters:

element - The element to consume

action - How to consume it

Returns:

A CompletionStage to have monitoring over the state of the asynchronous operation.

computeOnFxThread

public static <T,U> CompletionStage<U> computeOnFxThread(T element,
                                                         Function<T,U> compute)

Asynchronously executes a computing operation on the JavaFX thread.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the (aggregated if necessary) inputs

U - The output type

Parameters:

element - The element(s) required for the computation (use Tuple2 for pair-based for example)

compute - The computation to perform

Returns:

A CompletionStage to have monitoring over the state of the asynchronous computation.
