Design Philosophy

​
Fluent API

All components support method chaining for concise, readable code: 
JButton button = new JButton("Click Me")
    .addClass("btn-success", "btn-lg")
    .setIcon(JIcon.CHECK);

​
Style Classes

Components use CSS style classes that follow Tailwind-inspired naming conventions:
  • btn-primary, btn-success, btn-danger - Color variants
  • btn-sm, btn-lg - Size modifiers
  • badge-circle - Shape modifiers

​
Intelligent Defaults

Components automatically manage default styles. When you add a variant class (like btn-success), the default btn-primary is automatically removed.

​
Common Patterns

​
Adding Style Classes

All visual components provide an addClass() method: 
component.addClass("custom-class", "another-class");

​
Using Icons

Many components support the JIcon enum for consistent iconography: 
JButton button = new JButton("Save", JIcon.SAVE);
JAlert alert = new JAlert("Success").setIcon(JIcon.CHECK_CIRCLE);

​
Form Labels

Input components can generate labeled containers: 
JInput input = new JInput("Enter username");
VBox labeledInput = input.createWithLabel("Username", true); // true = required

​
Browser Compatibility

All components are tested with JavaFX 17+ and support:
  • Windows 10/11
  • macOS 10.14+
  • Linux (GTK 3+)
