Karibu-DSL (Vaadin Kotlin Extensions)

This is a Kotlin extensions and DSL library for the Vaadin framework. Please visit Vaadin-on-Kotlin pages for the Getting Started guide.

This library:

• Allows you to create Vaadin UI designs in the structured code way; the idea behind the library is explained in the DSLs: Explained for Vaadin article. The general DSL idea is explained in Kotlin Type-Safe Builders.
• Includes useful components like PopupButton and TabSheet
• Contains additional useful methods which Vaadin lacks; see karibu-tools

Documentation/Tutorial

Please read the Karibu-DSL Vaadin 14+ tutorial.

The origins of the word Karibu: it's a term for North American subspecies of the reindeer; that connects to Vaadin (which is a Finnish word for a female reindeer). A nice connotation comes from Swahili where Karibu means welcome.

Note: For Groovy Vaadin DSL please see the Vaadin Groovy Builder library.

Vaadin 8 Unsupported

Vaadin 8 is no longer supported starting from Karibu-DSL 1.1+. If you're still using Vaadin 8, please use Karibu-DSL 1.0.x. Please find the documentation for Karibu-DSL Vaadin 8 in the 1.0.x README.md. Also see Issue #35 for more details.

Why DSL?

Just compare the Kotlin-based CategoriesList with the original Java CategoriesList. Both render the Beverage Buddy: Categories page, yet with Kotlin DSL:

• The UI structure is immediately visible
• The code is more readable and much shorter and concise
• You can more easily copy parts of the UI and paste it into your project

Supports Vaadin 14+.

Example Projects

Vaadin 14:

• Simple one-page-one-button example app: karibu10-helloworld-application
• A simple database-backed one-page task list app: vaadin-kotlin-pwa
• Two-page app demoing grids and database: Beverage Buddy VoK

Vaadin 8 UITest / Component Palette

Back in the days there was a Vaadin 8 project called UITest (or Component Palette) which demoed all Vaadin 8 components along with all of ValoTheme styles. The project is no longer around officially, but there's a karibu-dsl fork of the project. To run it quickly, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/mvysny/karibu-dsl
cd karibu-dsl
git checkout 1.0.x
./gradlew clean build example-v8:appRun

You may need JDK 11 or JDK 8 to run the demo; JDK 17 support is not known.
