JShell is an interactive tool used to implement sample expressions. We can implement JShell programmatically using JavaFX application then we need to import a few packages in the java program listed below
import jdk.jshell.JShell; import jdk.jshell.SnippetEvent; import jdk.jshell.VarSnippet;
In the below example, implemented a sample Java FX application. We will enter different values in the text field and press the "eval" button. It will display values with corresponding data types in a list.
Example
import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.*; import javafx.scene.layout.*; import javafx.stage.Stage; import java.util.List; import jdk.jshell.JShell; import jdk.jshell.SnippetEvent; import jdk.jshell.VarSnippet; public class JShellFXTest extends Application { @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { JShell shell = JShell.builder().build(); TextField textField = new TextField(); Button evalButton = new Button("eval"); ListView<String> listView = new ListView<>(); evalButton.setOnAction(e -> { List<SnippetEvent> events = shell.eval(textField.getText()); events.stream().map(event -> convert(event)).filter(s -> s != null).forEach(s -> listView.getItems().add(s)); }); BorderPane pane = new BorderPane(); pane.setTop(new HBox(textField, evalButton)); pane.setCenter(listView); Scene scene = new Scene(pane); primaryStage.setScene(scene); primaryStage.show(); } public static String convert(SnippetEvent e) { if(e.snippet() instanceof VarSnippet) { return ((VarSnippet) e.snippet()).typeName() + " " + ((VarSnippet) e.snippet()).name() + " " + e.value(); } return null; } public static void main(String[] args) { launch(); } }
