Fluent API for Vaadin

This library is a Vaadin 8 server side complement to code components fluently (like builder pattern).

Each ui component class is available with its fluent counter part working out-of-the-box.

Each setter has also its fluent version prefixed with the word "with" instead of "set".

Each fluent class implements a fluent interface which adds the fluent methods. Therefore, it's easy to add fluent functionality to an existing component : just implement the right interface.

Lets say you have a custom ComboBox doing fancy stuff in your project and you want to add fluent way to code it. Implement the FluentComboBox interface.

Sample code

FTextField field = new FTextField().withPlaceholder("enter text")
                                           .withValue("some text")
                                           .withCaption("My textbox")
                                           .withValueChangeMode(ValueChangeMode.TIMEOUT)
                                           .withValueChangeTimeout(5000);

public class MyComboBox<T> extends ComboBox<T> implements FluentComboBox<MyComboBox, T> {
    //...
}

//then
MyComboBox<String> myCb = new MyComboBox<String>().withCaption("My combo box").withItems("aaa", "bbb", "ccc");
