I develop webapps with vaadin and flow for some time now (together with spring boot) and just stumbled across hilla, a new vaadin 'addon' or project... (www.hilla.dev).
I know that flow and vaadin use typescript for some things but I never needed to dig deeper into this meta-layer between my java backend and the generated html/js/css things...
So I ask myself what's the use of hilla to make my life easier? Or is hilla better suited for people coming from javascript & typescript to vaadin instead of the other way around?
Thanks for some insight :-)
CodePudding user response:
Hilla is the new name of vaadin-fusion.
In short:
Flow= Java in Backend and Frontend generated from Java code
Hilla = Java in the Backend Typescript Frontend
So if you love typescript and css Hilla is good for you. If you are a java Fan (as myself) Vaadin Flow is the way to go (Or stay)
