Is Vaadin Elements intended for use with the Vaadin Framework?

Question

Vaadin seems to be pushing in two directions:

• Vaadin Framework (Java - server side)
• Vaadin Elements (Javascript - Client Side)

They are intended to be shared now .. or in the future? Or just 2 separate, unrelated product offerings?

For example , is it a Vaadin grid element (not to be confused with Vaadin 7 Java Grid ), intended for use in Java-land?

I found this server-side elements that talks about creating / manipulating Javascript web components from the server side. Is that what we should use? Or is there something else to make component use easier in Java?

.. I feel that something is missing.

Vaadin flow

At the moment, the Vaadin team has announced Vaadin Flow (a preview of the developer), which provides answers to your question. With Flow, traditional Vaadin developers are privileged to use client-side custom elements effortlessly.

The stream provides the following ways of interacting with the DOM in the users web browser:

• HTML templates bound to server-side model data.
• Server-side representation of the DOM tree on the client side.
