Directory structure in the organization and use of components in the flow

Flow
1

I’m testing the flow components (Vaadin 24.8) in my project and I saw that some directories are created automatically by Vaadin: example: “generated”, “bundles”, does anyone know what happens if I delete these directories, will it affect the use of the components or when building the app?

You can safly add gitignore for them , they will be automatically generated if missing. In can be handy to commit “bundles”, these are essentially zipped versions of the “frontend bundle” the development mode or maven plugin builds. Committing them speeds up the start of develpment for other team members then, but then you need to make sure somebody updates them whenever a Vaadin version or some add-on that contributes to the frontend-bundle is updated.

(and yeah, before you say it, I agree all generated stuff should end up in target directory in Maven projects :teddy_bear:)
