# Class StyleablePropertyFactory<S extends Styleable>

java.lang.Object
javafx.css.StyleablePropertyFactory<S>

Type Parameters:
  `S` - The type of Styleable

public class StyleablePropertyFactory<S extends Styleable> extends Object
Methods for creating instances of StyleableProperty with corresponding CssMetaData created behind the scenes. These methods greatly reduce the amount of boiler-plate code needed to implement the StyleableProperty and CssMetaData. These methods take a Function<? extends Styleable, StyleableProperty<?>> which returns a reference to the property itself. See the example below. Note that for efficient use of memory and for better CSS performance, creating the `StyleablePropertyFactory` as a static member, as shown below, is recommended.

     public final class MyButton extends Button {

         private static final StyleablePropertyFactory<MyButton> FACTORY = new StyleablePropertyFactory<>(Button.getClassCssMetaData());

         MyButton(String labelText) {
             super(labelText);
             getStyleClass().add("my-button");
         }

         // Typical JavaFX property implementation
         public ObservableValue<Boolean> selectedProperty() { return (ObservableValue<Boolean>)selected; }
         public final boolean isSelected() { return selected.getValue(); }
         public final void setSelected(boolean isSelected) { selected.setValue(isSelected); }

         // StyleableProperty implementation reduced to one line
         private final StyleableProperty<Boolean> selected =
             FACTORY.createStyleableBooleanProperty(this, "selected", "-my-selected", s -> s.selected);

         @Override
         public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable, ?>> getControlCssMetaData() {
             return FACTORY.getCssMetaData();
         }

     }

The example above is the simplest use of `StyleablePropertyFactory`. But, this use does not provide the static CssMetaData that is useful for `getClassCssMetaData()`, which is described in the javadoc for `CssMetaData`. Static CssMetaData can, however, be created via `StyleablePropertyFactory` methods and will be returned by the methods which create StyleableProperty instances, as the example below illustrates. Note that the static method `getClassCssMetaData()` is a convention used throughout the JavaFX code base but the `getClassCssMetaData()` method itself is not used at runtime.

     public final class MyButton extends Button {

         private static final StyleablePropertyFactory<MyButton> FACTORY =
             new StyleablePropertyFactory<>(Button.getClassCssMetaData());

         private static final CssMetaData<MyButton, Boolean> SELECTED =
             FACTORY.createBooleanCssMetaData("-my-selected", s -> s.selected, false, false);

         MyButton(String labelText) {
             super(labelText);
             getStyleClass().add("my-button");
         }

         // Typical JavaFX property implementation
         public ObservableValue<Boolean> selectedProperty() { return (ObservableValue<Boolean>)selected; }
         public final boolean isSelected() { return selected.getValue(); }
         public final void setSelected(boolean isSelected) { selected.setValue(isSelected); }

         // StyleableProperty implementation reduced to one line
         private final StyleableProperty<Boolean> selected =
             new SimpleStyleableBooleanProperty(SELECTED, this, "selected");

         public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable, ?>> getClassCssMetaData() {
             return FACTORY.getCssMetaData();
         }

         @Override
         public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable, ?>> getControlCssMetaData() {
             return FACTORY.getCssMetaData();
         }
     }

The same can be accomplished with an inner-class. The previous example called `new SimpleStyleableBooleanProperty` to create the `selected` property. This example uses the factory to access the `CssMetaData` that was created along with the anonymous inner-class. For all intents and purposes, the two examples are the same.

     public final class MyButton extends Button {

         private static CssMetaData<MyButton, Boolean> SELECTED;

         private static final StyleablePropertyFactory<MyButton> FACTORY =
             new StyleablePropertyFactory<>(Button.getClassCssMetaData()) {
             {
                 SELECTED = createBooleanCssMetaData("-my-selected", s -> s.selected, false, false);
             }
         };

         MyButton(String labelText) {
             super(labelText);
             getStyleClass().add("my-button");
         }

         // Typical JavaFX property implementation
         public ObservableValue<Boolean> selectedProperty() { return (ObservableValue<Boolean>)selected; }
         public final boolean isSelected() { return selected.getValue(); }
         public final void setSelected(boolean isSelected) { selected.setValue(isSelected); }

         // StyleableProperty implementation reduced to one line
         private final StyleableProperty<Boolean> selected =
             new SimpleStyleableBooleanProperty(SELECTED, "selected", "my-selected");

         public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable, ?>> getClassCssMetaData() {
             return FACTORY.getCssMetaData();
         }

         @Override
         public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable, ?>> getControlCssMetaData() {
             return FACTORY.getCssMetaData();
         }
     }

Caveats:

The only option for creating a StyleableProperty with a number value is to create a StyleableProperty<Number>. The return value from the `getValue()` method of the StyleableProperty is a Number. Therefore, the `get` method of the JavaFX property needs to call the correct `value` method for the return type. For example,

         public ObservableValue<Double> offsetProperty() { return (ObservableValue<Double>)offset; }
         public Double getOffset() { return offset.getValue().doubleValue(); }
         public void setOffset(Double value) { offset.setValue(value); }
         private final StyleableProperty<Number> offset = FACTORY.createStyleableNumberProperty(this, "offset", "-my-offset", s -> ((MyButton)s).offset);
