Beverage Buddy App Starter for Vaadin Flow

This is a Vaadin platform example application created with Java and HTML. It is used to demonstrate features of Vaadin platform.

The easiest way of using it is via https://vaadin.com/start - you can choose the vaadin version and the package naming you want. If you want to use it with the latest vaadin version you can use this direct link.

The Starter demonstrates the core Vaadin Flow concepts:

• Building UIs in Java with Components based on Vaadin components, such as TextField, Button, ComboBox, DatePicker, VerticalLayout and Grid (see CategoriesList)
• Creating forms with Binder (see ReviewEditorDialog)
• Making reusable Components on the server side (see AbstractEditorDialog)
• Creating a Component based on a HTML Template (see ReviewsList)
  • This template can be opened and edited with the Vaadin Designer
• Creating Navigation with the Router API (See MainLayout, ReviewsList and CategoriesList)

Prerequisites

The project can be imported into the IDE of your choice, with Java 8 or 11 installed, as a Maven project.

But additionally you need node.js installed in your System, and available in your PATH.
See the Node.js page for the installation instructions.
