Vaadin Connect

Written by Artur Signell | March 15, 2019

An experiment with a secure stateless communication framework with built-in authentication and authorization support. An easy way to integrate a Java backend into a frontend application. Has a first-class support for TypeScript, and allows end-to-end type checking across the full stack.

@VaadinService
public class GreeterService {
    public String greet(String name) {
        return String.format("Hello, %s!", name);
    }
}

import * as GreeterService from './generated/GreeterService';
console.log(await GreeterService.greet(name));

See how it works

Try it out

The easiest way to start experimenting is using this starter project

$ git clone https://github.com/vaadin/base-starter-connect.git
$ cd base-starter-connect
$ npm install
$ npm start

The starter project requires Java Development Kit 8+ and Node 8+. Make sure you have them installed before starting the starter project.
