How to learn to use fn-fx? I'm a Clojure newbie who knows almost nothing of JavaFX. I watched an intro to fn-fx and I liked it because it is really declarative and similar to the React way of doing things (which I'm quite familiar with). I read the example apps too. But now I'm facing a problem, the API documentation is almost non existent. So I don't know what controls I have available, or available properties. Is the only way of learning this going through JavaFX resources and then try to figure out how to do the same by browsing fn-fx source base? Btw, is seesaw the "canonical" way of doing GUI in clojure?

No opinion with any backed experience sorry; I wrote my own and at first it began as a learning exercise then i just kept going and it suits my needs at the moment. fn-fx seems interesting though, takes the concepts of react and applies it to javafx, Tim baldridge has a link to this video
