Viritin
What apache-commons and Guava libraries does for Java, Viritin does it for Vaadin
Note, this add-on is available also for Vaadin versions 10+
Viritin is a server side enhancement library for Vaadin. It fixes some bad defaults in the core framework and provides more fluent and intelligent API for existing components. It also provides several major enhancements to databinding and provides completely new components made with server side composition (no widgetset is needed).
- Better typed API for Table, Grid and various select components, easier to get started, better readability, safer refactoring. Endorsing java.util.collections and basic Java beans over proprietary Container-Item-Property.
- Enhanced developer experience with extended basic layouts
- Lots of handy Field implementations e.g. for common relation types (@ManyToMany, @OneToMany, @ElementCollection in JPA terminology, but not tied to JPA)
- AbstractForm - a base class to avoid boilerplate code for basic entity editing
- Enhancements to core Fields and BeanFieldGroup, better defaults, enhanced end user UX with on the fly validation
- Setting browser cookies from basic Java code
- Really scalable "lazy loading" solutions for Vaadin Components (see MTable, LazyComboBox, ListContainer + LazyList)
- Often needed component compositions: PrimaryButton, ConfirmButton, DisclosurePanel ...
- Cross-field validation support
- Improved input fields
- Support for custom HTML5 input properties (autocomplete, autocorrect...)
- IntegerField (numeric keyboard on mobile devices, only accepts numbers, type of the field is Integer)
- DoubleField
- EmailField (email keyboard on mobile devices)
There is already a huge set of enhancements, couple of them are highlighted below. For a more complete view of what is provided, check out the project page in github for more details listing of examples. There is always room for enhancements and the project is easy to check out for development, so join the effort in github!
Sample code
MTable<Entity> t = new MTable(findBeans()) .withProperties("property", "another") .withColumnHeaders("Property 1", "Second"); t.addMValueChangeListener(new MValueChangeListener<Entity>() { @Override public void valueChange(MValueChangeEvent<Entity> event) { editEntity(event.getValue()); } });
// with Viritin setContent(new MVerticalLayout(new MHorizontalLayout(c, d).withFullWidth()) .expand(new MHorizontalLayout(menu).expand(mainContent))); // same without Viritin VerticalLayout wrapper = new VerticalLayout(); wrapper.setMargin(true); wrapper.setSpacing(true); wrapper.setHeight("100%"); HorizontalLayout toolbar = new HorizontalLayout(c, d); toolbar.setWidth("100%"); toolbar.setMargin(false); toolbar.setSpacing(true); HorizontalLayout wrapper2 = new HorizontalLayout(); wrapper2.addComponent(menu); wrapper2.addComponent(mainContent); wrapper2.setSizeFull(); mainContent.setSizeFull(); wrapper2.setExpandRatio(mainContent, 1); wrapper.addComponents(toolbar, wrapper2); wrapper.setExpandRatio(wrapper2, 1); setContent(wrapper);
MTable<Update> table; @Inject GPSRouteService s; @PostConstruct void init() { add(table = new MTable<>(s::fetchUpdates, s::getEntityCount)); }

See github tags
Viritin version 1.26
See github changes and release tags for changes.
Viritin version 1.30
Better Grid compatibility for lazy list stuff and fixed bad states (in some situations) of action buttons in AbstractForm. and See github for more details.
Viritin version 1.31

Viritin version 2.0.alpha1
First alpha release supporting V8. Lot of V8 related support still to be implemented, but "org.viritin.v7" compatibility package should now allow projects to start converting to Vaadin 8. See [Vaadin 8 upgrade in wiki](https://github.com/viritin/viritin/wiki/Vaadin-8-upgrade) for more details.
Viritin version 2.0.alpha2
Second alpha release supporting V8. Lot of V8 related support still to be implemented, but "org.viritin.v7" compatibility package should now allow projects to start converting to Vaadin 8. See [Vaadin 8 upgrade in wiki](https://github.com/viritin/viritin/wiki/Vaadin-8-upgrade) for more details.
In this release:
* Fixed IntegerField to actually fire value change evens and this way work with Binder
* Most "fluent methods" are now implemented using Java 8 tricks and default methods. This adds a lot of missing fluent APIs and makes maintaining them much easier.
* Added a rudimentary version of AbstractForm based on Vaadin 8 Binder and HasValue interface.
See all changes from github.
