Just create a class with the name TestComponemt, extend some existing javaFX control or even a Control class and you are ready to go.

yeah but how can i design its children in fxml? thats my goal i want to basically create anchor pane with toolbar n stuff it would make it easier if i could od it in fxml because ill reuse it

If you extend some container class like VBox you can simply put children there like you put into a VBox

i think u dont understand me, i want it to work like react components if you know, you have components with predefined children, which will be there whenever u use it. i could add them in ctor, but it would be better as fxml i think

I don't know react. Can you show an example of the final FXML file? Maybe we will find a solution...

well what i meant is that i want this fxml:

<AnchorPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx"
            xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml"
            fx:controller="lol.koblizek.bytelens.core.controllers.SidePaneController"
            stylesheets="@../styles/darcula.css"
            prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0">
    <ToolBar prefHeight="40.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
        <Label fx:id="titleLabel" text="Undefined" />
    </ToolBar>
</AnchorPane>

<AnchorPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx"
            xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml"
            fx:controller="lol.koblizek.bytelens.core.controllers.SidePaneController"
            stylesheets="@../styles/darcula.css"
            prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0">
    <ToolBar prefHeight="40.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
        <Label fx:id="titleLabel" text="Undefined" />
    </ToolBar>
</AnchorPane>

to represent my TestComponent

You can do the following: Create a class "TestComponent" which will extend for example a StackPane. Then in the constructor you will load the fxml file you provided and set it as a child of your component. Then you just have to somehow propagate the controller of the loaded view.
