Vaadin

Vaadin Flow (Source)

The Java framework binding Vaadin web components to Java. This is part of Vaadin 10+ Platform for building modern web sites that look great, perform well and make you and your users happy. "Vaadin Flow is an open-source framework for building web apps in Java. You build your app from UI components without ever having to touch HTML or JavaScript."

@Route("hello-world")
public class HelloWorld extends VerticalLayout {

    public HelloWorld() {
        TextField name = new TextField("Name");
        Paragraph greeting = new Paragraph("");

        Button button = new Button("Greet", event -> {
            greeting.setText("Hello " + name.getValue());
        });

        add(name, button, greeting);
    }
}

Vaadin Fusion

A TypeScript and Java web framework for building modern web applications. You can create UIs in TypeScript and connect to any backend through endpoints written in Java. "Vaadin Fusion is a framework that helps you rapidly deliver beautiful reactive client-side web apps using TypeScript with a Java backend."

@SpringBootApplication
    @PWA(name = "Fusion App", shortName = "Fusion", offlineResources = {"images/logo.png"})
    public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements AppShellConfigurator {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

// --- Server ---

@Endpoint
public class TodoEndpoint {
    private TodoRepository repo;

    // Repository autowired by Spring
    public TodoEndpoint(TodoRepository repo) {
        this.repo = repo;
    }

    // Publish a typed endpoint
    public List>Todo< getTodos() {
        return repo.findAll();
    }
}

// --- Client ---

// Call the backend in TypeScript
const todos: Todo[] = await TodoEndpoint.getTodos();

Reactive views with declarative templates; Vaadin Fusion has a reactive programming model based on Lit.

The declarative template is automatically updated when the application state changes.
Lit uses a simple template syntax based on standard JavaScript.
Fusion comes with built-in support for MobX for application state management.

@customElement('hello-world-view')
export class HelloWorldView extends View {
  @state() name = '';
  @state() allNames: string[] = [];

  render() {
    return html`
      <h1>Greetings!</h1>
      <ul>
        ${this.allNames.map((name) => html`<li>Hello, ${name}</li>`)}
        <li>
          <vaadin-text-field
            placeholder="Your name"
            .value=${this.name}
            @value-changed=${this.nameChanged}
          ></vaadin-text-field>
          <vaadin-button @click=${this.addGreeting}>Add name</vaadin-button>
        </li>
      </ul>
    `;
  }

  nameChanged(e: CustomEvent) {
    this.name = e.detail.value;
  }

  addGreeting() {
    this.allNames = [...this.allNames, this.name];
    this.name = '';
  }
}

Vaadin 8 and Vaadin 7, both of which use GWT as the base of client-side implementations.
