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 ?

There is no component. So I would generate HTML. Do you only want to display it or also edit? — Simon Martinelli, Apr 22 '22 at 08:10
Both. I want to create a text editor and a way to render it. Markdown seemed appropriate to me — BenjaminD, Apr 22 '22 at 08:12
There is a RichTextEditor component but this commercial. Do you have pro subscription? For this you'll find an interesting discussion here https://github.com/vaadin/web-components/issues/2017 — Simon Martinelli, Apr 22 '22 at 08:26
I use Vaadin for my personal projects so a pro subscription is a little bit expensive for me. So no, I don't have a pro susbcription. — BenjaminD, Apr 22 '22 at 08:28
Then you could use TinyMCE https://vaadin.com/directory/component/tinymce-for-flow — Simon Martinelli, Apr 22 '22 at 08:31
Pick a mark down library, send the result through Jsoup's HTML sanitizer, and finally show the result using the Html class of Vaadin. — cfrick, Apr 22 '22 at 13:46

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.
