Define Vaadin component properties with annotations

CDI Properties

CDI Properties contains individual annotations for each Vaadin core component that allow you to define a set of properties right above the injection point.

...so instead of:

TextField textField = new TextField("Name");
textField.setMaxLength(15);
textField.setNullRepresentation("");
textField.setWidth("100%");

..you can:

@Inject
@TextFieldProperties(caption = "Name", maxLength = 15, nullRepresentation = "", width = "100%")
private TextField textField;

Use properties "captionKey" and "labelValueKey" to assign text values provided by your own TextBundle bean. Fire a @TextBundleUpdated event to utilize the built-in i18n functionality allowing you to change your applications language run-time.

The add-on can only be used in Vaadin CDI enabled projects.
