How to get a handle to the TableView from the controller in scalafx

Question

I'm trying to find some sample code to update my TableView from inside my controller. If possible I want to make my TableView with fxml.

def addPerson(event: ActionEvent) {
  // how do I access my TableView items?
}

My TableView looks like:

<TableView fx:id="tableView"></TableView>

Also, what's a good way to interactively inspect stage objects and methods?

In order to use it, you need to pass it in as a parameter which will be shown below :

@sfxml
class PersonOverviewController(

    private val tableView : TableView[S] //S -> The type of the objects contained within the TableView items list.

    ) {

    def addPerson(event: ActionEvent) {
        // do whatever you want here with tableView
        val selectedIndex = tableView.selectionModel().selectedIndex.value //just for example 
    }
}
