Interface View

@ConsumerType
public interface View

Views allow GUI designers to separate parts of the UI into individual Components without having to take care of putting all the parts together manually. A View knows the ID of its parent Pane and IoCFX takes care of putting it there.

By convention, a View should be derived from Node and its designated parent should have that View as its only child. The parent's ID should be the View's class name in camel case postfixed with "Parent", i.e. the parent of a View that has the class name MyView should have the ID "myViewParent".

The View's parent must always be a Pane or any derived class, like a StackPane, HBox, etc.

If the parent has a different ID or the View cannot be derived from Node, its getParentID() and/or getNode() methods must be overridden accordingly.
