Holon platform Vaadin Flow module

Latest release: 5.5.3

This is the Vaadin Flow UI module of the Holon Platform, which represents the platform support for the Vaadin Flow web applications platform, focusing on the user interface components, navigation and data binding features.

• A Java API to build (using fluent builders), manage and use the web application UI components.
• Integration with the platform foundation architecture, such as the Property model and the Datastore API, the authentication, authorization and localization support.
• Routing targets query parameters injection using the @QueryParameter annotation, with extensible Java type conversion support.
• A Navigator API to manage the web application routing, with query parameters support.
• Spring and Spring Boot integration.

See the module documentation for details.

Just like any other platform module, this artifact is part of the Holon Platform ecosystem, but can be also used as a stand-alone library.

See Getting started and the platform documentation for further details.

Previous Vaadin versions

The Holon platform Vaadin module is also available for previous Vaadin platform versions:

• Vaadin 8 series
• Vaadin 7 series

At-a-glance overview

Component builders:

Div label = Components.label()
  .text("Label text")
  .width("200px")
  .build();

Dialog:

Components.dialog.question(confirm -> {
    // handle user response (true/false)
  }).text("Default text", "message.code")
  .open();

Item listing:

PropertyListing listing = PropertyListing.builder(SUBJECT) 
  .dataSource(datastore, TARGET)
  .withQueryFilter(NAME.isNotNull())
  .withQuerySort(ID.asc())
  .frozenColumns(1) 
  .withComponentColumn(item -> new Button(item.getValue(NAME)))
    .sortUsing(NAME)
    .displayAsFirst()
    .add()
  .multiSelect()
  .withSelectionListener(event -> {
    // ...
  })
  .build();

listing.refresh();

Input components and forms:

Input<String> input = Input.string()
  .label("My label", "label.message.code")
  .maxLength(50)
  .build();

SingleSelect<String> singleSelect = Input.singleSelect(ID)
  .dataSource(datastore, TARGET, SUBJECT)
  .build();

PropertyInputForm form = PropertyInputForm.formLayout(SUBJECT)
  .hidden(ID)
  .propertyCaption(NAME, "My name", "name.message.code")
  .build();

form.validate();

PropertyBox value = form.getValue();

Query parameters injection:

@Route("some/path")
public class View extends Div {

  @QueryParameter
  private String parameter1;

  @QueryParameter("myparam2")
  private Integer parameter2;

  @QueryParameter(value = "myparam3", required = true)
  private LocalDate parameter3;

}

Navigator API:

Navigator navigator = Navigator.get();

navigator.navigateTo("some/path");

navigator.navigateBack();

navigator.navigation(View.class)
  .withQueryParameter("myparam", new Integer(1))
  .withQueryParameter("multi", "a", "b", "c")
  .navigate();
