Splitting a YAML file into separate ones

[Kohányi Róbert]

I'd like to know how to split one YAML file into separate ones.

For example: I have a Main JFrame with a JTabbedPane and I have a
MyCustomJPanel with custom stuff and I want the latter to have a
separate YAML file.

# Main.yml
JFrame:
- name: main
- title: title
- content:
- JTabbedPane:
- name: tabs
- content:
- MyCustomJPanel: # I don't want to set
anything here, maybe the "name" field.

# MyCustomJPanel.yml
Now here I want to set everything related to my custom JPanel.

Is this possible? Am I approaching this right?

Thanks in advance!

See the section in the book on custom components

MyCustomPanel is built separately via its own YAML.

The parent JFrame refers to MyCustomPanel and SwingJB just does a regular new() on it

Yeah, the instantiation is working as expected, but this wasn't a problem anyway.

What I want to do is the following: move the configuration logic related to the custom JPanel entirely to its own YAML file.

# Main.yml
JFrame:
       - name: main
       - title: title
       - content:
               - JTabbedPane:
                       - name: tabs
                       - content:

                              <reference or import MyCustomPanel.yml>

# MyCustomJPanel.yml
MyCustomJPanel:
        - name: custom
        - tabTitle: something

I want to configure MyCustomJPanel in its own YAML file, not in the Main.yml. If I specify that the content of the JTabbedPane is MyCustomPanel then it gets instantiated, but the configuration will still be in the Main.yml and the stuff I wrote in MyCustomPanel.yml is ignored.

Maybe my explanation is hazy or I'm just approaching this from the wrong direction, but I really can't describe this more thoroughly.

It's in the book...your Java class where you are calling the Main.yml from needs to have a private variable of type MyCustomPanel and that

is how we find the type via reflection. Plenty of examples in the sample app too
