Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

The assertion in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9431352/vaadin-vs-bootstrap that Vaadin is desktop-only appears to be wrong. The notice for the discontinuation of the TouchKit add-on for Vaadin (https://vaadin.com/blog/-/blogs/touchkit-is-dead-long-live-touchkit) cites Vaadin's

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Thanks Rishi, Yes, there should be no kind of vendor lock-in, even with an ASL2 licensed product with a vibrant community. If we would have to introduce important modifications in OFBiz to work with Vaadin, I don't see myself participating to both. Hans you rightly chose the user ML for this

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Team, I have gone thru the basic tutorial and setup vaadin at my machine to understand and compare it with bootstrap. Found this is very effective library to build UI as per our requirement. But it won't give control over HTML and CSS,

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Hi Michael, The main advantage i see is that Vaadin is like ofbiz screens/forms in that you do not need to know css/html/javasccript to create an application, but Vaadin is developed much further having much more add-ons. Further Vaadin has a much larger user base. They both have

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

I agree with Julien, and it is the reason we suggested in the first to place starting the themes refactoring exercise. We needed to move anything "web" related _outside_ the framework and then automate stuff through macros. If the work being done is isolated from the framework, then that would be

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Hello, If I don't make mistakes, with common theme (thanks to Nicolas for that), we don't need to 'define' a new technology. We don't need to choose bootstrap or vaadin. We only need one thing, we need somebody to make a new theme. If this theme is using vaading, we wil see the power behind

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Hi Hans, can you give us some thoughts how Vaadin would be a better approach than using a modern bootstrap theme (see Nicolas' efforts on the common theme)? Thanks and regards, Michael Am 29.08.17 um 03:36 schrieb Hans Bakker: Users/developers, I would like to present an alternative UI

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Seeing that we get now more interest in this activity I can report that we already made the demo version working with Groovy instead of Java for the Vaadin screen definitions. This allows to change the OFBiz screens and without restart show the generated Vaadin screens. our current list of

Vaadin looks amazing, definitely, a good and modern UX will make OFBiz an Ace of all trades. On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 1:16 AM, Paul Mandeltort wrote: > Haven’t had time to dig into the code, but at a high level I feel Vaadin > is one of the best bets for helping OFbiz get a

Re: Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Haven’t had time to dig into the code, but at a high level I feel Vaadin is one of the best bets for helping OFbiz get a modern UI and as a result much greater adoption! —P On Aug 28, 2017, 8:37 PM -0500, Hans Bakker , wrote: > Users/developers, > > I would like to

Alternative UI: Vaadin proof of concept

Users/developers, I would like to present an alternative UI which can be generated from the existing OFBiz screens and forms but can also be used independently. What is Vaadin: https://vaadin.com/introduction Vaadin has the Apache 2.0 license. We have now completed a proof of concept which
