🎨 JavaFX Workshop — Pricing Plans UI

Introduction

Ready to dip your toes into the world of JavaFX? In this workshop, you'll build a pricing plans page — the kind you see on every modern SaaS website (a simple version of them!).


📚 What You'll Learn

Concept How you'll use it
JavaFX + Maven Setting up the project structure
FXML Designing layouts without hardcoding
Controllers Connecting UI to Java logic
Event Handling Making buttons actually do something
CSS Styling Making it look good (dark mode included!)
Dialogs Showing payment alerts

🛠️ Your TODO List

1️⃣ Main.java

  • Load the FXML file using FXMLLoader
  • Create a Scene, set its title, attach CSS file to it, and show it on the Stage

2️⃣ Controller.java

  • Wire up the "Shop" buttons → show payment alerts
  • Implement theme toggle (Dark ↔ Light)

🎓 Learning Goals

By working through this workshop, you'll be able to:

  • Understand the structure of a JavaFX Maven project
  • Read and write basic FXML layouts
  • Connect your visual design (FXML) to Java code (Controllers)
  • Handle UI events with @FXML methods
  • Switch CSS themes dynamically
  • Create and show JavaFX dialogs

📝 Notes

Always run your Javafx app from the Launcher.java, Launching from the Main.class (where you have extended from Jfx Application) sometimes doesn't work due to building issues, and you get error of not finding Javafx.

Don't forget to set your jdk in the Project Structure > SDK !
