Generate CRUD UIs for your entities/beans/POJOs at runtime Crud UI Add-on - Vaadin Add-on Directory
Crud UI Add-on provides an API to automatically generate CRUD-like UIs for any Java Bean at runtime. The API is defined through 4 interfaces: **`CrudComponent`**: A Vaadin `Component` that can be added to any `ComponentContainer`. This is the actual CRUD final users will see in the browser. **`CrudListener`**: Encapsulates the CRUD operations. You can implement this interface to delegate CRUD operations to your back-end. **`CrudLayout`**: Encapsulates layout-related behavior. **`CrudFormFactory`**: Builds the forms required by the CRUD UI. The add-on includes several implementations of these interfaces. # Basic usage Say, you have the following domain/entity/Java Bean class: ```java public class User { @NotNull // Validation API is required! Add it as a dependency on your project private Long id; @NotNull private String name; private Date birthDate; @Email private String email; @NotNull private String password; ... getters & setters ... } ```   You can create a new CRUD component and add it into any Vaadin layout as follows: ```java GridCrud crud = new GridCrud<>(User.class); layout.addComponent(crud); ```   You can enable _Java Bean Validation_ as follows: ```java crud.getCrudFormFactory().setUseBeanValidation(true); ```   Use lambda expressions or method references to delegate CRUD operations to your backend: ```java crud.setFindAllOperation(() -> backend.findAll()); crud.setAddOperation(backend::add); crud.setUpdateOperation(backend::update); crud.setDeleteOperation(backend::delete); ```   # Advanced usage As an alternative to method references and lambda expressions, you can implement a `CrudListener` to delegate CRUD operations to your backend: ```java crud.setCrudListener(new CrudListener() { @Override public Collection findAll() { return backend.findAllUsers(); } @Override public User add(User user) { return backend.add(user); } @Override public User update(User user) { return backend.update(user); } @Override public void delete(User user) { backend.remove(user); } }); ```   Use a different `CrudLayout` implementation: ```java GridCrud crud = new GridCrud<>(User.class, new HorizontalSplitCrudLayout()); ````   Set a custom `CrudFormFactory`: ```java CustomCrudFormFactory formFactory = new CustomCrudFormFactory<>(User.class); crud.setCrudFormFactory(formFactory); ```   Configure form fields visibility: ```java formFactory.setVisibleProperties(CrudOperation.READ, "name", "birthDate", "email", "groups", "mainGroup", "active"); formFactory.setVisibleProperties(CrudOperation.ADD, "name", "birthDate", "email", "password", "groups", "mainGroup", "active"); formFactory.setVisibleProperties(CrudOperation.UPDATE, "name", "birthDate", "email", "groups", "mainGroup", "active"); formFactory.setVisibleProperties(CrudOperation.DELETE, "name", "email"); ````   Use nested properties in `GridCrud` instances: ```java crud.getGrid().addColumn(user -> user.getMainGroup().getName()).setHeader("Main group").setKey("key"); ```   Configure the type of an input field: ```java formFactory.setFieldType("password", PasswordField.class); ```   Customize fields after their creation: ```java formFactory.setFieldCreationListener("birthDate", field -> ... your own logic here ...); ```   Define a `FieldProvider` to manually create a field: ```java formFactory.setFieldProvider("groups", user -> { CheckboxGroup checkboxes = new CheckboxGroup<>(); checkboxes.setItems(groups); checkboxes.setItemLabelGenerator(Group::getName); return checkboxes; }); ```   Or use one of the included `FieldProvider` implementations: ```java formFactory.setFieldProvider("groups", new CheckBoxGroupProvider<>("Groups", GroupRepository.findAll(), Group::getName)); ```   Set a `Converter`: ````java formFactory.setConverter("salary", new Converter() { @Override public Result convertToModel(String value, ValueContext valueContext) { return Result.ok(new BigDecimal(value)); // error handling omitted } @Override public String convertToPresentation(BigDecimal value, ValueContext valueContext) { return value.toPlainString(); } }); ```` Customize captions: ```java formFactory.setButtonCaption(CrudOperation.ADD, "Add new user"); crud.setRowCountCaption("%d user(s) found"); ```
