Vaadin and markdown

Question

I searched through the Vaadin documentation but couldn't find a way to render markdown.

Is there a widget allowing that ?

Or should I convert markdown into HTML ?

Answer 1

See the Vaadin Directory of add-ons.

There you will find Markdown Area by Maxime Rauturier, a simple TextArea to preview the markdown syntax. Works in Vaadin Flow, version 10+.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.vaadin.maxime</groupId>
  <artifactId>markdown-area</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Searching the Directory reveals several MarkDown related items.
