Vaadin 8 has deprecated the official Calendar control, and the somewhat similar replacement is a third party control that does not impress me very much (Calendar Add-on - Vaadin Add-on Directory)
It is MIT licensed, has extensive and detailed API docs, it is easily themeable and extensible, and constantly improved and tested.
Such a great JS component will give a wealth of capabilities way beyond any other current (and I think future) Vaadin component.
If you’re interested, please share your opinion and vote for it. I’m considering to start working on this ASAP, and release it to the public if there’s some interest in it.
Hi Paolo,
Its very sad that there are 6 votes only. I don’t expect that you are working on FullCalendar integration in Cuba but maybe you could help me.
I need to show a room booking scheduler and FullCalendar + scheduler plays very nice for my needs. I’ve created a component and display it on the screen using BrowserFrame but have no idea how to pass the events and refresh the calendar from Cuba.
HI @Rimas, one workaround without writing a proper Vaadin component could be using the REST API.
You can write some JS code to be run in the BrowserFrame, that reads/writes data using API calls. If you want to react to server changes/events, you must use polling from the JS side.
Keep in mind, though, that the final amount of code required could be far more than the one required for a proper JS wrapper.
