This project can be used as a starting point to create your own Vaadin application. It has the necessary dependencies and files to help you get started.

The best way to use it is via vaadin.com/start - you can get only the necessary parts and choose the package naming you want to use. There is also a getting started tutorial based on this project.

To access it directly from github, clone the repository and import the project to the IDE of your choice as a Maven project. You need to have Java 8 or 11 installed.

Run using mvn jetty:run and open http://localhost:8080 in the browser.

If you want to run your app locally in the production mode, run mvn jetty:run -Pproduction.

Integration tests are implemented using Vaadin TestBench. The tests take a few minutes to run and are therefore included in a separate Maven profile. We recommend running tests with a production build to minimize the chance of development time toolchains affecting test stability. To run the tests using Google Chrome, execute

mvn verify -Pit,production

and make sure you have a valid TestBench license installed.

Profile it adds the following parameters to run integration tests:

-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=path_to_driver
-Dcom.vaadin.testbench.Parameters.runLocally=chrome

For a full Vaadin application example, there are more choices available also from vaadin.com/start page.
