Component Login

Vaadin Component - Login

A simple Login Screen - boring but usefull ;-)

Why?

A Login Screen is often used, and a repetive task to create if you are creating smaller apps, demos, and so on.

For this I created the component, da work with dependencies instead of copy-paste. even in my examples.

How it looks like ?

How?

You can use this as a dependency. The only thing you have to do is to create the the connection to your app.

Step 1 - connect to your Auth - Service

The first method to create is the method with the name public abstract boolean checkCredentials();

Here you have to decide if the provided credentials are valid or not. In the demo/test Source folder you will find the class MyLoginView The implementation in this class is for demo usage only.

  @Override
  public boolean checkCredentials() {
    String username = username();
    String password = password();

    // USE Apache Shiro for example : demo you can find here
    // https://github.com/Nano-Vaadin-Demos/nano-vaadin-meecrowave-shiro-V10

    // DON NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION !!
    boolean isOK = username != null && username.equals("admin") ||
                   password != null && password.equals("admin");

    UI.getCurrent().getSession().setAttribute(LOGGED_IN, isOK);
    // DON NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION !!

    return isOK;
  }

Step 2 - what to do if auth failed

Define what should happen if the Auth-Service will reject the provided credentials. In this example there will be a Notification shown and a logger message created.

  @Override
  public void reactOnFailedLogin() {
    logger().warning("Login is not acctepd..");
    Notification.show("Credentials not accepted..");
  }

Step 3 - what to do if auth is OK

Now we can redirect to the next View. In this example a demo view with no special meaning.

  @Override
  public void navigateToApp() {
    UI.getCurrent().navigate(MainView.class);
  }

Demo Usage

In the test folders you will find a fully working demo app to show a dummy implementation. If you want to see samo more examples, for example how to use this with Shiro, have a look at https://github.com/Nano-Vaadin-Demos/nano-vaadin-meecrowave-shiro-V10
