Bakeryflow documentation

Hi there,

1.) I download Bakery project from : https://vaadin.com/start/latest/full-stack-spring
2.) Make it work
3.) download plugin Vaadin Designer
4.) I followed this tutorial for adding a view : https://vaadin.com/docs/v11/bakeryflow/adding-a-view.html
5.) But in my option new > I don’t have this option ‘new Flow HTML template’, i have just this two options ‘Vaadin 8 Design’ and ‘Vaadin 11 Design’.
6.) I don’t have this directory : src/main/webapp/frontend/src.

I attach picture with my directories…

Please, what is wrong ? Tutorial ? or my project directories ?

Thanks
Regards
Peter

Hi and thank you for reaching out.

TL;DR Don’t worry, Vaadin 11 Design should work as well as using resources/static/frontend/src.

We could definitively improve how we name things. I can try to clarify the situation for you. Vaadin platform contains a product called Flow, which in turn has a feature which allows you to write HTML to create components. These files are technically Polymer web components, but in Flow terminology they are called Flow templates. Vaadin platform also has another product called Designer. Now Designer is a design tool for the same file, but because Designer already has a concept of templates we couldn’t just use Flow template. So we called the file a design, because it made sense to edit designs with Designer. But maybe the templates are different platform versions? So let’s use the platform version number, and call it Vaadin 11 design.

And now we have at least three names for the same thing. Naming things is hard.
