Looks like December is already here: deadlines, holiday plans, and the usual year-end rush :crazy_face:

We’re also keeping busy on our side - working on the Jmix upgrade to the latest Vaadin and Spring Boot :wink:

Therefore, we’ll be moving the Office Hours planned for December 11 to spring! We’ll meet then with fresh energy!

If you already have questions, feel free to write them on the forum anytime, we’re always glad to help!

I will post them anyway, and you will have plenty of time to answer them

  • What is the roadmap for addon-dashboard
  • How can I add a comment to the database field from the JPA annotation?
  • Are there plans for Jmix/eclipselink to support postgis?
  • Is it or will it be possible to add a currency to IntegerField, BigDecimalField…?
  • Will it be possible to use checkboxes in the grid and inline editing grid?
  • When will other types of graphs be added to the Explore various chart types for Vaadin Charts component?
  • Is there an AI add-on in the roadmap that will allow users to query data in natural language or perform certain actions on the application?
  • Integration of Cucumber tests into jmix, code generation from specification files or specifications from code
  • An administrator to view actual user usage of screens and actions
  • A way to link sent emails and the audit log to certain entities, in order to have a third party that show emails linked, or a case that show changes, etc.
  • What about integration with Office 365, calendar, etc.
  • How to define a condition in a report template (to not display certain blocks in Word)
  • Administration screen for developers, to generate Liquibase insertions from the data created (useful for complex data)
  • Administration screen for developers, to modify application.properties (enable/disable features)

Can we get back the Cuba UI model where we do not expose the URL of each view and disallow users from jumping straight to an entity by specifying the ID on the URL ? In Cuba all the user see is just one URL on the browser address bar. We want to control the navigation to views completely in the program code and implement our security / flow according to our requirements.

Can you provide a free UI component based on the GridstackJs library for Jmix 2, to show Fragments as Cards in a dashboard-like layout ? This is a very common display style for web nowadays. This will allow Fragments to be draggable and resizable on a panel and arranged according to user’s requirement (personalized).

Hi,

I can suggest you to use SortableLayout component from vaadin add-on directory.

This is easy-to-use add-on and also easy-integrated with Jmix features like user settings facet or something else.

We are preparing a demo application in which this add-on will be integrated into the Jmix framework.
The application will soon be available online and in this repository.
Regards,
Mikhail

Hi,

Actually there is an existing Vaadin Add-on which wraps the GridStackJS for Vaadin 8.0 but it has not been ported to Vaadin 24 and so I couldn’t import it in. If Haulmont can bring this to Jmix, it will be better. The behavior of GridStack is more like what we want, which allows Components (including Fragments) to be dragged anywhere on a grid and resizeable e.g. charts on a dashboard. The SortableLayout does not allow for resizable components that can span multiple columns or rows, I think.
