Hi
We had recently a client request to develop a very small e-commerce application following a quite standard pattern :
- showcase w/out requiring login
- build a cart as an anonymous user or a connected user
- create account / login before checkout if not connected
- checkout
This requires among other things to be able to :
- defer login to the last moment
- create entities while in anonymous
The first, deferring login, is not possible with CUBA web client. You need to build a portal (eventually polymer) for this. Unfortunately you need to change dev tech and have a distinct server.
We thought why not developping a small app with CUBA web client itself ? But we found no way to defer logging with CUBA web client. And you cannot design a portal with Studio designer.
It could be nice to be able to build a portal over Vaadin directly from Studio. On the other hand Studio has a Polymer section but it is not wysiwyg as the rest. I guess the point is that they are already available on the net. But even with those, it’s much more faster for our devs to stick to Vaadin & Studio.
