New and Noteworthy Since Vaadin 21

Here are the highlighted new and improved features in Vaadin 22. To see the full list of bug fixes and improvements, check Included Projects and Change Log.

Vaadin Fusion

  • Stateless Fusion
    • By default Fusion will not create server sessions, and use the token-based authentication mechanism. The server then is stateless, allowing easier horizontal scaling of instances and high availability of services.

Vaadin Components

LitRenderer API for Java counterparts

Added LitRenderer API to replace the now deprecated TemplateRenderer for Grid, Combo Box and Virtual List. Check out Grid documentation and Using Lit Renderers guide. Note that web components are not based on Lit yet.

Accessibility fixes to components

Fixes to accessibility issues in Vaadin components, so that they can be used with assistive technologies (AT) like screen readers. Check out Upgrading to Vaadin 22 for the full list of related changes in components DOM and styling.

Other components changes

  • Vaadin Charts:

    • Upgrade to latest Highcharts version
    • provide API for configuring inactive series styling
      • By default, when a chart series is hovered, it is considered "active", and all other ("inactive") series are grayed out. It should be possible to configure how the inactive series are styled or to disable the inactive state entirely, to prevent this effect.
    • Lumo and Material styling for Charts
    • provide position and modifier-key metadata in click events
      • Add information about absolute X and Y positions and modifiers (alt, ctrl, meta, shift) to the Point and Series Legend Item Click events in Java API so that developers can handle the events differently depending on these properties. This information is already available in the client-side events.

  • Vaadin Date Picker

    • Flow DatePicker custom format support

  • Vaadin Notification

    • Convenience show method for NotificationElement

  • Vaadin CRUD

    • Improved configurability of CRUD

Vaadin Collaboration Engine

  • SystemConnectionContext API
    • Support Collaboration Engine features together with external systems that are not directly associated with a specific user when they are using a Vaadin UI.
  • MessageManager API
    • Introduce a data access API to handle messages in topics. Provide a data layer access that lets you submit messages to a Topic and react when a new message is submitted to the same Topic. The developer doesn’t need to use the low-level Topic API that has none of the higher level concepts.

Vaadin Quarkus

  • Official Quarkus support for Vaadin Flow

Support

vaadin 22 is supported for one month after Vaadin 23 has been released. The latest LTS (long term support) version is Vaadin 14. More details of our release model are available on our roadmap page.

Getting Started with Vaadin

App starters

The best way to get started with Vaadin is to go to https://start.vaadin.com and configure your new application by setting up your views, entities, styles, and the technology stack you’re interested in.

Note

Vaadin 22 starters are not available just yet in vaadin.com. You can use Vaadin 21 starter and manually change Vaadin version (see instructions below).

Manually changing Vaadin version for Java projects

Add the following contents to your project pom.xml. 

<dependencyManagement>
    ...
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
        <artifactId>vaadin-bom</artifactId>
        <version>22.0.0.rc1</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencyManagement>

Known Issues and Limitations

This is the prerelease version of Vaadin 22 for evaluating a number of new features and bug fixes. The API in this prerelease version is not considered final and may change based on user feedback.

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.

Migrating from Vaadin 8

See the migration guide

Migrating from Vaadin 10-14

See the migration guide
Since Vaadin 18, PolymerTemplate has been deprecated but it is still supported. LitTemplate should be used instead for new templates and we encourage migrating to it.

Migrating from Vaadin 21

Update the Vaadin version in the build files, and check if the project is using any of the breaking changes mentioned in the 'New and Noteworthy' section above.
