v1.4.0

New support to get properties as a JavaFX property based on common datatypes such as the following:

if (myViewModel.getIntegerProperty(AGE).isLessThan(50)) {
   System.out.println(" you are %s years young!".formatted(myViewModel.getIntegerProperty(AGE).getValue()));
};

Prior we only had getProperty(AGE) where you could not compare the value in an if statement (inline) like above.

IntegerProperty ageProp = myViewModel.getProperty(AGE);
if (ageProp.isLessThan(50)) {
   System.out.println(" you are %s years young!".formatted(ageProp.getValue()));
};

Intro

This is the initial release of cognitive v1.0.0. Cognitive is a lightweight framework based on the MVVM UI architectural design pattern.

Features

• Dependancy injection of ViewModels into controller classes.
• A simple view model to maintain a state of a form UI
• A validation view model supporting validators
• Check for error, info and warning type messages.

TODOs

• Bean view model
• Validation bean view model
• Ability to apply error messages to validation overlay icons on UI controls
• Clean up documentation
• Think about an overloaded save() method receiving a consumer allowing caller to provide code to execute if validation fails and code when validation succeeds.
