Bookstore App Starter for Vaadin Flow

A project example for a Vaadin application that only requires a Servlet 3.1 container to run (no other JEE dependencies). The UI is built with Java only.

The easiest way of using it is via https://vaadin.com/start - you can choose the package naming you want.

Prerequisites

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

Project Structure

The project consists of the following three modules:

• parent project: common metadata and configuration
• bookstore-starter-flow-ui: main application module, development time
• bookstore-starter-flow-backend: POJO classes and mock services being used in ui

Workflow

To compile the entire project, run "mvn install" in the parent project.

Other basic workflow steps:

• getting started
• compiling the whole project
  • run mvn install in parent project
• developing the application
  • edit code in the ui module
  • run mvn jetty:run in ui module
  • open http://localhost:8080/
• creating a production mode war
  • run mvn package -Dvaadin.productionMode in the ui module or in the parent module
• running in production mode
  • run mvn jetty:run -Dvaadin.productionMode in ui module
  • open http://localhost:8080/

Branching information:

• V10 the version for Vaadin 10
• V11 the version for Vaadin 11
