Vaadin Connect

March 15, 2019

An experiment with a secure stateless communication framework with built-in authentication and authorization support. An easy way to integrate a Java backend into a frontend application. Has a first-class support for TypeScript, and allows end-to-end type checking across the full stack.

@VaadinService
public class GreeterService {
public String greet(String name) {
return String.format("Hello, %s!", name);
}
}
import * as GreeterService from './generated/GreeterService';
console.log(await GreeterService.greet(name));

See how it works
