Designer with Flow

Flow
1

Hi,

All the documentation and videos for using Designer indicate that a template file is required and it seems like we can’t use designer in Vaadin flow apps for just creating UI entirely in Java.

Can some one confirm if my understanding is correct or I am missing some thing ?

Thanks,

Designer creates HTML templates. You can access the components you need from Java using an @Id mapping, e.g.

@Id
private TextField firstName;

I think my question was not clear enough. Can I avoid templates and use Designer to create plain Java classes ?

No, you can’t avoid templates.
