Welcome to SuperFields!

Overview

This is a collection of hopefully useful Vaadin 14 and 24 components, grouped into several subprojects:

• superfields are various input components;
• demo-v24 contains an app for Vaadin 24 that shows all components - see the demo online or run it yourself with mvn package jetty:run

Installation

SuperFields are also available in Vaadin Directory. If you find this library useful, consider rating it there or leaving a review. Thanks :)

SuperFields work with Vaadin 24 (and above).

Vaadin 23/24 and Java 11/17

Starting from version 0.18 SuperFields work with Vaadin 24 and require Java 17.

Versions 0.12 to 0.17 of SuperFields work with Vaadin 23 version. Java 11 or newer is required.

From version 0.16 every release is available in Maven Central. Please note that the groupId of the project has changed from org.vaadin.miki to pl.unforgiven. Class names and package names have not changed.

Maven setup

This is the relevant dependency:

<dependency>
   <groupId>pl.unforgiven</groupId>
   <artifactId>superfields</artifactId>
   <version>{VERSION}</version>
</dependency>

All releases are available:

• in Maven Central
• as binaries under project's releases
• as Maven packages from GitHub packages or from Vaadin Directory

Vaadin 14 LTS and Java 8

Versions 0.19.3 and newer do not have a Vaadin 14 release, as it has reached the end of free LTS support. Thus, the last version that works with Vaadin 14 is 0.19.2-vaadin14.

Please note that versions below 0.12 work only with Vaadin 14 LTS.

Each release between 0.12.0 and 0.19.2 has a corresponding version marked with -vaadin14 suffix in the number, e.g. 0.12.0-vaadin14. The functionality is identical to the regular release. These releases are available in Maven Central.

This repository has a branch java-8 which contains the code for the most recent release compatible with Java 8 and Vaadin 14 LTS. Please note that Java 8 has been released in 2014 and free support for Vaadin 14 LTS has ended in September 2024.

Future releases of SuperFields for Vaadin 14 are still possible only in two cases:

• pull requests by the community;
• paid work (see Support below).
