I'm fine with either way.
Both approaches are nice, while the factory/builder approach will
probably be a bit better as it will cover more use cases, but of course
takes a bit more time.
In any case we can create a Border/Background very easily and both are
quite short, the factory/builder approach will be shorter though.
e.g.
setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK,
BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID)));
setBorder(BorderFactory.createSolidBorder(Color.BLACK));

Betreff: Re: Convenience factories for Border and Background
I think a minimal constructor would be a nice first step.
I want to avoid adding more constructors, so factory methods would be
my go-to.
We may can go further from that and create something similar like
the BorderFactory
A factory class or a builder require a whole new class and solves the
problems of wanting to create many combinations of constructor
arguments. So we have to ask ourselves if using the full and complex
constructor for complex cases, and the simple proposed methods for the
simple cases is enough, or if there is enough middleground of
combinations that we need a more advanced solution.

Hi Nir,
this is a really good idea and something I want to see since the
first
time I used to set a Background/Border.
I think a minimal constructor would be a nice first step.
So instead of:
- setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK,
CornerRadii.EMPTY, Insets.EMPTY)))
-> setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK)))
and:
- setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK,
BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID, CornerRadii.EMPTY,
BorderStroke.DEFAULT_WIDTHS)))
-> setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLACK,
BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID)))
We may can go further from that and create something similar like
the
BorderFactory class in swing, where you can create a lot of
different
borders easily. (Same to Background)

Betreff: Convenience factories for Border and Background
Hi,
Many times when I want to create a simple solid Background or
Border,
it is
quite a hassle because of the configurability these classes have:
new Border(new BorderStroke(Color. BLACK,
BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID,
null,
null));
new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.BLACK, null, null));
I was thinking of adding convenience factory methods
Border.of(Paint stroke), or Border.stroke(Paint stroke)
Background.of((Paint fill), or Background.fill(Paint fill)
I was wondering if others would like this, or is everyone using
CSS
anyway?
