How to add multiple lines in Label JavaFX

Question

I have a problem that I don't really know how to add a multiple lines into Label in JavaFX.

For example:

 Label label = new Label();
 for(int i= 0; i<10; i++){
     label.setText(Integer.toString(i));
 }

So when the loop finishes, the label just only shows the final value which is 9.

So any solutions that can show all the numbers 1 - 9 with the break lines( such as '\n') between them.

This problem that happens when i want to show the Bill of my project that contain many dishes. Thank you for your help.

You need to append and not set the text over and over again AND you need the new line character '\n'

my suggestion would be like using a variable to append the information and when you are done with that step, then set the label.text

Example:

StringBuilder msg = new StringBuilder():
Label label = new Label();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    msg.append(Integer.toString(i));
    msg.append(",\n");  //this is the new line you need
}
label.setText(msg.toString());
