File Download Wrapper

Helper add-on for making easy clickable file downloads.

This add-on is meant as a semi-replacement for the FileDownloader extension in earlier Vaadin versions. You can use it to create clickable download links or wrap components like buttons to achieve the same.

Sample code

    TextField textField = new TextField("Enter file contents");
    FileDownloadWrapper link = new FileDownloadWrapper("textfield.txt", () -> textField.getValue().getBytes());
    link.setText("Download textfield.txt that has contents of the TextField");

        Button button = new Button("Click to download");
        FileDownloadWrapper buttonWrapper = new FileDownloadWrapper(
            new StreamResource("foo.txt", () -> new ByteArrayInputStream("foo".getBytes())));
        buttonWrapper.wrapComponent(button);
        add(buttonWrapper);
