Sorry for my english.
Addon temporary is not available from vaadin repository. Temporary solution - add another repo to your pom ([see here] (https://github.com/indvd00m/vaadin-sub-navigator#using))
SubNavigator - is a server-side addon which extends the capabilities of the standard object Navigator and allows easier to organize a hierarchical multilevel structure of vaadin-application.
SubNavigator allows you to explicitly specify a hierarchy of objects, and when the user moves from one address (URI Fragment) to another SubNavigator will notify the appropriate objects on the need to clean/refresh the data in that prioritization as they are in the hierarchy.
Description
Two main interfaces in SubNavigator - is a ISubView and ISubContainer.
public interface ISubView extends Component {
String getRelativePath();
void clean();
void build();
}
public interface ISubContainer extends ISubView {
ISubView getSelectedView();
void setSelectedView(ISubView view);
void deselectView(ISubView view);
}
ISubContainer is a container, and generally can contain any other ISubContainer, or ISubView. Let’s look in situation where you will need to display some data at address #!/path1/path2/path3. Both path1 and path2 is a ISubContainer implementation, path3 can be either ISubView or ISubContainer. The method getRelativePath() of these objects determine their relative path path1, path2, path3. path1 is a root element which contains other elements. For example, path1 could be Panel element with nested TabSheet, path2 - Tab, path3 - VerticalLayout.
To define the object tree in the application you can use addView(ISubContainer container, ISubView view):
// registering views
ISubNavigator subNavigator = new SubNavigator(ui, path1View); // path1View - root view
subNavigator.addView(path1View, path2View); // path2View contained in path1View
subNavigator.addView(path2View, path3View);
subNavigator.addView(path1View, path4View);
subNavigator.addView(path4View, path5View);
When user navigates from #!/path1/path2/path3 to #!/path1/path4/path5, SubNavigator first call methods clean() and deselectView(ISubView view) for objects with relative path path3 and path2, then call methods build() and setSelectedView(ISubView view ) for objects with path path4 and path5:
// log of navigating from #!/path1/path2/path3 to #!/path1/path4/path5
path3View.clean()
path2View.deselectView(path3View)
path2View.clean()
path1View.deselectView(path2View)
path1View.setSelectedView(path4View)
path4View.build()
path4View.setSelectedView(path5View)
path5View.build()
SubNavigator also support dynamic containers, exceptions handling, hierarchical page titles. See Wiki at github.
