Documentation for FXML and CSS

Question

Where can I find documentation that lists all the different things you can do using FXML and CSS for JavaFX?
For example, how am I supposed to know that I can do "-fx-font-size: 12px" for font size in CSS or "Font name='System' size='12.0' />" for FXML?

Answer 1

CSS Styling
Here is the css reference guide, which is an excellent start.
Complement it by thoroughly studying caspian.css (the JavaFX 2.2. stylesheet) and modena.css (the JavaFX 8 stylesheet).
There is also css styling info scattered throughout the Oracle JavaFX tutorials.
Try using the material from the css reference guide to style some of the simple default controls, like buttons etc.
Once you have the hang of that, move on to more complex things like graphs and tables.
Don't forget tricks like overriding some of the default paint constants as it makes styling much easier if all you need is a color change, for example try the following stylesheet:
.root { -fx-base: antiquewhite; }
FXML Reference
There is (and never will be) any such thing (as least not a complete one).
FXML works by reflecting on classes.
As you can add more classes to your classpath or modify existing classes, you can add more elements and attributes to fxml.
Best current documentation of fxml is the Introduction to FXML as well as the FXML tutorials from Oracle.
In terms of learning some of the more common elements and attributes for FXML for standard JavaFX controls, try loading up SceneBuilder and examining the FXML it generates.
Also, as FXML is a reflection of the JavaFX Java API, you can get to know what attributes and elements it can use by looking at the standard JavaFX javadoc.
All that said, I think the FXML documentation could be improved, so if, after you go through in detail studying the available information I provided in this post, you have concrete ideas for improvement of the documentation, feel free to file specific detailed requests in the JavaFX issue tracker, or send feedback to the JavaFX documentation team's email address: [email protected]
