# Vaadin Component
[](https://gitter.im/vaadin/vaadin-components?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge) or [discuss on the vaadin.com forum](https://vaadin.com/forum/#!/category/9848927/)
Vaadin Components is an evolving set of custom HTML elements, built using [Polymer](https://www.polymer-project.org), for building mobile and desktop web applications in modern browsers.
### Component examples and documentation
View live examples and source code side-by-side for individual custom elements.
| Component | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [<**vaadin-grid**>](https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-grid) · [Examples](../../vaadin-grid/demo) · [API](../apidoc/#vaadin-grid) | Data grid for showing large amounts of tabular data. |
### Quickstart
Get a quick test-drive of the custom elements by forking one of the following JSFiddles:
- <**vaadin-grid**>
- [Data generated on-the-fly](http://jsfiddle.net/jounik/tvk1235r/)
- [JSON data from a URL](http://jsfiddle.net/jounik/tLour4gv/)
### Installation
We offer three ways to use Vaadin Components in your project: Bower, CDN and ZIP archive. The only difference between the options is the URL you use to import the necessary files into your HTML page.
#### 1. Create a new folder for your project
```shell
$ mkdir my-project
$ cd my-project
```
#### 2. Install Vaadin Components
- ##### Bower
We recommend using [Bower](http://bower.io) for managing your front-end dependencies. Follow the [Bower installation instructions](http://bower.io/#install-bower), then run the following command inside your project folder to install the most recent stable release.
```shell
$ bower install --save vaadin-components
```
This will download Vaadin Components and its dependencies to the `bower_components` folder inside your project's folder.
If you want to experiment with current development code, download the snapshot version running:
```shell
$ bower install --save vaadin-components#master
```
- ##### CDN
You can use Vaadin Components from CDN (see example below). This is especially convenient for services like JSFiddle, Codepen.io, etc.
`https://cdn.vaadin.com/vaadin-components/0.3.0-beta7/vaadin-grid/vaadin-grid.html`
_*Note*: that we have a fragment in the url with the version to use, so you could for instance replace it with the snapshot version_
- ##### Download ZIP
1. Download the latest ZIP archive from [vaadin.com/download](https://vaadin.com/download#components)
2. Extract the archive under your project folder, for example `deps`
#### 3. Create a HTML file
Create a new HTML file inside your project folder and copy the following code into it (choose one of the options how to import Vaadin Components in the `<head>` section):
> **Note on serving the files during development**, when using Bower or the ZIP archive:
> Due to browser security restrictions, serving HTML imports from a `file:///` URL does not work. You need a web server to view pages where you use custom elements. One simple option is to use the [`serve`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serve) NPM package.

<!doctype html>

<col name="user.name.last" header-text="Last Name">
<col name="user.email" header-text="Email" flex>
</table>
</vaadin-grid>
<script>
// The Web Components polyfill introduces a custom event we can
// use to determine when the custom elements are ready to be used
document.addEventListener("WebComponentsReady", function () {
// Reference to the grid element
var grid = document.querySelector("vaadin-grid");
// Fetch some JSON data from a URL
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
if (xhr.status == 200) {
var json = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
// Use the returned data array directly as the data source
// (keeping all the data source items in the browser's memory)
grid.data.source = json.results;
}
}
}
xhr.open("GET", "http://api.randomuser.me/?results=100", true);
xhr.send();
// Add a renderer for the index column
grid.columns[0].renderer = function(cell) {
cell.element.innerHTML = cell.row.index;
}
// Add a renderer for the picture column
grid.columns[1].renderer = function(cell) {
cell.element.innerHTML = '<img src="' + cell.data + '" style="width: 24px;">';
}
});
</script>
</body>
