CDI Properties

Define Vaadin component properties with annotations

CDI Properties contains individual annotations for each Vaadin core component that allow you to define a set of properties right above the injection point.

...so instead of:

TextField textField = new TextField("Name"); textField.setMaxLength(15); textField.setNullRepresentation(""); textField.setWidth("100%");

..you can:

@Inject @TextFieldProperties(caption = "Name", maxLength = 15, nullRepresentation = "", width = "100%") private TextField textField;

Use properties "captionKey" and "labelValueKey" to assign text values provided by your own TextBundle bean. Fire a @TextBundleUpdated event to utilize the built-in i18n functionality allowing you to change your applications language run-time.

The add-on can only be used in Vaadin CDI enabled projects.

Sample code

@UIScoped
public class SearchViewImpl extends AbstractView implements SearchView {

    @Inject
    @TextFieldProperties(captionKey = "searchview-searchterm", nullRepresentation = "")
    private TextField searchTerm;
    @Inject
    @NativeSelectProperties(captionKey = "searchview-fieldtosearch")
    private NativeSelect fieldToSearch;
    @Inject
    @CheckBoxProperties(captionKey = "searchview-savesearch", immediate = true)
    private CheckBox saveSearch;
    @Inject
    @TextFieldProperties(captionKey = "searchview-searchname", nullRepresentation = "")
    private TextField searchName;
    @Inject
    @PanelProperties(captionKey = "searchview-caption")
    private Panel mainPanel;
    @Inject
    @ButtonProperties(captionKey = "searchview-search")
    private Button searchButton;

...

}
