## Dependencies
https://vaadin.com/directory/component/so-helper Ver 3.0.0 or later (helper classes)
https://vaadin.com/directory/component/textfield-formatter Ver 5.4.0 or later (for field formatting features).
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik Ver 1.11 (for SVG image manipulation).
## Use Cases
There are 2 different ways of using this add-on.
### Normal Use
It can be used to utilize the components (especially "fields" and "forms") available in this add-on.
The "form" concept here supports a mechanism that doesn't require direct use of Vaadin's "Binder" classes to create data entry forms.
A hidden binder does all the tricks.
Also, there are two notable classes: DataGrid and TreeDataGrid. These classes are enhanced
versions of Vaadin's Grid and TreeGrid respectively.
Two layout classes are worth mentioning: ButtonLayout and GridLayout.
A Dashboard class is also available.
### Single-Page Application
This is the 2nd use case. Single-page applications typically use an "application layout"
with a "menu area" and "content area". The content area displays the current "view". A view may
be any sort of information displayed in the content area. It could be a "data entry screen", some
sort of chart or a dashboard. This add-on contains certain classes to create different
"views" including "data entry screens".
Please see the documentation of the Application class to get an idea of how to create a single-page
application.
