In TornadoFX, how can I select a deeply-nested property on an nullable property of an ItemViewModel?

Question

TornadoFX has an select function that is used to access a property within a property. For example, the usage would be:

textfield(viewModel.customerProperty.select(Customer::nameProperty))

And that works fine, however, in case that the customerProperty 's value is nullable ( Customer? ), select doesn't work, because it expects non-null object to "select" from.

In case that the Property has nullable value, how can select be used on it?

You don't need to declare the type as nullable even though the property can contain null. Simply change the type of the property and you should be good.
