Declarative UI for Vaadin Flow
This is basically Vaadin-8-style Declarative UI for Vaadin Flow. The goal is to externalize the layout of the components in your application and have it as much more readable HTML/XML instead of cluttering up your Java code. It's completely interpreted and converted to a Component-tree on the server-side.
Support for additional components and attributes can be added quite easily. The add-on comes with built-in support for Spring Boot to pick up custom ComponentFactory and ComponentPostProcessor beans.
For more details on why or how to use this add-on, please see the project page and/or take a look at the source code of the demo application.
See the Links section for add-ons that try to solve the same problem, albeit in completely different ways.
For Vaadin 14 support, see versions 0.x.
Install
- Vaadin 23 is now required.
- Rework of
ComponentFactory,ComponentPostProcessorand related classes. They're even simpler now, yet more powerful (default values, deprecated attributes, required attributes, aliases, ...). - Added dynamic dev time view (
/component-declarations) displaying actually supported components and attributes. Requires use of@DuiComponentby factories and post-processors. - Allow to use components without factory.
- Improved error messages.
- Improvements to fluent API.
