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();
}
}Output
