# Electron+Java Demo

Java Desktop Application with HTML 5 UI based on Electron and Vaadin.

## Uses

1. Node JS

2. Electron

3. Gradle

4. JDK 11

5. Jetty HTTP Server

6. Vaadin 14

## Features

0. Easy building with Gradle

1. Jetty server with Web Sockets enabled

2. Vaadin UI code in plain Java

3. Bi-directional WebSocket connection with Vaadin Push and Jetty WebSocket module

4. Two way communication between Electron and web application using javascript functions

5. Auto start / stop of server side on application init / exit

6. Custom window header

7. Menu option to show developer tools only when running in debug mode

Want to know how to implement all the features? See complete tutorial: https://github.com/cuba-labs/java-electron-tutorial !

## Try it!

### Preparations

Run debug version:

    }> gradlew runApp

### Building standalone app

        

    }> gradlew bundleApp

    

Application will be bundled to `build/bundle`

### Run in production mode

    }> gradlew runApp -Pvaadin.productionMode

    

Or

    }> gradlew bundleApp -Pvaadin.productionMode

If you want to see a real world application that is built with this approach take a look at CUBA Studio https://www.cuba-platform.com/discuss/t/cuba-studio-se-a-desktop-application-based-on-electron/2914
