New and Noteworthy Since Vaadin 18

Here are the highlighted new and improved features in vaadin 19. To see the full list of bug fixes and improvements, check Included Projects and Change Log.

Flow

Improved theming support

A simplified theming system that works for all vaadin applications and makes it easy to create a reusable theme dependency. Documentation

npm build compatibility for OSGi applications

Flow developers can use npm based build and deploy their applications in production mode.

Fusion

Offline start and navigation

The @PWA annotation became more powerful in Vaadin 19. It enables starting the app and navigating between client-side routes offline, much easier customizations to the Service Worker, and an update to the loading indicator / reconnect dialog to add a clear indication to the users when the app is offline. Documentation

Collaboration Engine

The Collaboration Engine (Documentation) is included in Vaadin platform for the first time. It enables end-users to see who else is present in the same view, and edit forms together in real-time.

Components

Changes in 20 of 35 components

  • TypeScript type definitions for component events
    Typed events in all Vaadin components allow using code-completion in IDEs and build time TS compiler checks when creating event listeners for Vaadin components

Changes in vaadin-grid-pro-flow

  • ⧉ Add EditOnClick feature. PR:480. Ticket:73
    Add API to enable edit mode to Grid Pro with a single click on the cell.

Vaadin Commercial License update

Since Vaadin 19, all licenses for vaadin commercial products (PRO components, TestBench, MultiPlatform Runtime, etc) have been updated to Commercial Vaadin Developer License version 4

Tools

Getting Started with Vaadin

App starters

The best way to get started with Vaadin is to go to https://vaadin.com/start and pick an app template for the technology stack you’re interested in.

Note

Vaadin 19 starters are not available just yet in vaadin.com. You can use Vaadin 14 starter and manually change Vaadin version (see instructions below).

Maven Archetypes

Maven is the de-facto build tool for Java web applications. Major IDEs also support Maven out of the box and most often you'll be using Maven via your favorite IDE. There is currently one Maven archetype available, the vaadin-archetype-application which corresponds to the project base for Flow. The version of the archetype should match the platform version. After you have Maven installed, you can quickly create and run a Vaadin app with the following command: 

mvn -B archetype:generate \
                -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin \
                -DarchetypeArtifactId=vaadin-archetype-application \
                -DarchetypeVersion=19.0.0.beta1\
                -DgroupId=org.test \
                -DartifactId=vaadin-app \
                -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
                && cd vaadin-app \
                && mvn package jetty:run

Manually changing Vaadin version for Java projects

Add the following dependency to dependencyManagement in pom.xml. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
    <artifactId>vaadin-bom</artifactId>
    <version>19.0.0.beta1</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

Breaking changes

This lists products that have breaking changes from V14

Known Issues and Limitations

Flow

  • The Template-in-Template feature has some limitations
  • Links matching the context do not result in browser page load by default, instead they are handled with application routing. To opt-out, set the router-ignore attribute on the anchor element. This opt-out is needed for cases when native browser navigation is necessary, e. g., when using Anchor to link a StreamResource download.

OSGi support

OSGi does not work in V15.

Reporting Issues

We appreciate if you try to find the most relevant repository to report the issue in. If it is not obvious which project to add issues to, you are always welcome to report any issue at https://github.com/vaadin/platform/issues.

A few rules of thumb will help you and us in finding the correct repository for the issue:

  1. Bug tickets and enhancement requests that are specific to a certain Vaadin component should be posted in the component's Web Component repostory (e.g. https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-button for Button).
  2. Issues that are not component-specific (e.g. requests for new components) or encompass multiple components should be posted in vaadin-flow-components repository.
  3. If you encounter an issue with Flow which does not seem to be related to a specific component, the problem is likely in Flow itself. The Flow repository is https://github.com/vaadin/flow
  4. If you encounter an issue with Designer, the repository is https://github.com/vaadin/designer
  5. If you encounter an issue with TestBench, the repository is https://github.com/vaadin/testbench
