[x] Removal/Replacing of old Systems

nbrugger-tgm commented 3 years ago

Progress

The replacement of the old MVC system was started. Progress can be checked on feat/mvc-replace-dsl branch.

Blockages

While its technicaly very possibe to replace all old functionality with the new Binding DSL it is very cumbersome. The amount of code needed to do binder.biBind("property",component::setVal,component::getVal) is like ~3 times the characters.

Before the whole MVC system is replaced a solution should be found so that the MVC system doesn't needs to be rewritten a seccond time.

TODO

General Improvements

[x] offer common conversions (String,Int,Byte etc.) -> .withInt() (or possibly even withInt().fromString(source))
[x] simple casting conversion (call(Person::setGender).withCasted(comboBox::getSelectedItem))

Minification

[x] remove unneded .on(modelChange)/.from(modelChange in createBindings
[x] (optional) shorten / add short wrapper for binder.newBinding

Or

[x] Add overall optional shorthand (binder.bind(Person::getAge,ageInput::setText,Integer::toString)) - optional in the sense that the DSL should still be fully accessible
