Timeline for Vaadin

A Vaadin component for the vis.js Timeline visualization component.

The timeline is easy to use and follows similar patterns to Vaadin's Calendar component.

// Create item groups (if using groups).
List<TimelineGroup> groups = new ArrayList<>();
// ...

// Create the item provider. A basic item provider can be used with a 
// static list of items or a more advanced provider could be implemented for 
// direct DB access of timeline events.
BasicItemProvider provider = new BasicItemProvider();

// Create the timeline.
Timeline t = new Timeline();
t.getOptions().setOrientation(TimelineOptions.TimeAxisOrientation.TOP);
t.getOptions().setType(TimelineOptions.ItemType.RANGEOVERFLOW);
t.setItemProvider(provider);
t.setGroups(groups);

// Add it to the UI.
layout.addComponent(t);
