Fluent API wrappers

Most Vaadin core components have a “V”-prefixed wrapper that returns the component itself from setter-like methods (named with* instead of set*). This allows configuring components inline, for example in field declarations, without introducing extra variables.

VGrid

An enhanced Grid with sensible defaults, records support, an advanced styling API and a grid-wide CellFormatter. See the dedicated VGrid page for details and examples.

Uploads & Downloads

• UploadFileHandler – Upload component with a straightforward InputStream-based Java API. Throttles concurrent connections and works with Spring Boot without special configuration.
• DynamicFileDownloader – Generate file downloads on the fly by writing to an OutputStream.
• ByteArrayUploadField – Bind a file upload to a byte[] property with Binder.

Tree & TreeTable

• Tree – Visualise hierarchical structures with a simple API.
• TreeTable – Like TreeGrid but with an easier population API, proper lazy loading, and scrolling-to-item support.

Other components

• RichText – Display HTML or Markdown content.
• CustomLayout – Render raw HTML while placing Vaadin components inside.
• BorderLayout – Swing-style layout implemented with CSS Grid.
• PagingGrid – Traditional paging for Grid.
• DeleteButton – Confirmation dialog + error styling to prevent accidental clicks.
• PrintPdfButton – Generate a PDF on the server and open the browser's native print dialog for it.
• DisclosurePanel, Badge, VSvg, and more.
