/**
 * Package `mvcfx` helps in implementation of Model-View-Controller-like patters, we call it MVCfx.
 * The pattern is build around use of views defined in FXML (the view), with binding to ScalaFX using ScalaFXML library.
 *
 * There are two cooperating classes `ControllerFX` for binding FXML to Scala code
 * and `ModelFX` that contains logic for the component.
 * An additional helper `MVCfx` class is provided to instantiate the `ControllerFX` and the corresponding `ModelFX`.
 *
 * The structure of the UI component is defined in a standard JavaFX FXML file.
 * The Scala side of the FXML is in a class `ControllerFX`.
 * Part of the `ControllerFX` is automatically generated by ScalaFXML macro, the rest can be customized as needed,
 * including binding of the UI to appropriate parts of the component logic represented by the `ModelFX`.
 * Use of the `MVCfx` is optional and primarily intended to simplify instantiation of the `ControllerFX`
 * and the `ModelFX`.
 *
 * Below is an example using the classes in `mvcfx`. The code implements a simple Stop Watch.
 * The complete code is in demos part of the ScalaFX Extras project.
 *
 * Note the recommended naming convention used:
 * * StopWatch extends MVCfx
 * * StopWatchModel extends ModelFX
 * * StopWatchController extends ControllerFX
 * * StopWatch.fxml the FXVM declaration of the view
 *
 * First we have the FXML definitions representing the structure of the user interface
 * (`org/scalafx/extras/mvcfx/stopwatch/StopWatch.fxml`)
