Developer Guide

Getting started

Here is a simple example on how to try out the add-on component:

  OrgChartItem item1 = new OrgChartItem(1, "Root item", "Root Level");
  OrgChartItem item2 = new OrgChartItem(2, "Item 2", "Level 1");
  OrgChartItem item3 = new OrgChartItem(3, "Item 3", "Level 1");        
  item1.setChildren(Arrays.asList(item2, item3));
  
  OrgChart orgChart = new OrgChart(item1);
  orgChart.setChartTitle("A Title");
  orgChart.setChartNodeContent("title");
  orgChart.setChartExportButton(true);
  orgChart.setZoom(true);
  orgChart.setChartDraggable(true);
  
  // add to a layout
  VerticalLayout layout = new VerticalLayout();
  layout.addComponent(orgChart);

Special configuration when using Spring

By default, Vaadin Flow only includes com/vaadin/flow/component to be always scanned for UI components and views. For this reason, the addon might need to be whitelisted in order to display correctly.

To do so, just add com.flowingcode to the vaadin.whitelisted-packages property in src/main/resources/application.properties, like:

vaadin.whitelisted-packages = com.vaadin,org.vaadin,com.flowingcode

More information on Spring whitelisted configuration here.
