Class ButtonBuilder<B extends ButtonBase>

java.lang.Object
com.dua3.utility.fx.controls.ButtonBuilder<B>
Type Parameters:
B - the type of Button subclass to build
public class ButtonBuilder<B extends ButtonBase> extends Object
The ButtonBuilder class is a utility class used to build Button instances in a fluent way. It provides methods to set properties such as text, graphic, tooltip, action, and disabled state of the button. The built button can be obtained by calling the build() method.

Usage example: 

     
     ButtonBuilder<Button> builder = new ButtonBuilder<>(Button::new);
     Button button = builder
         .text("Click me")
         .graphic(new ImageView("icon.png"))
         .tooltip("Tooltip text")
         .action(event -> System.out.println("Button clicked"))
         .bindDisabled(disabledProperty)
         .build();
In the example above, a new ButtonBuilder instance is created and bound to the Button class. The text, graphic, tooltip, action, and disabled state of the button are set using the builder methods. Finally, the build() method is called to create the button instance with the specified properties.
