Special configuration when using Spring

By default, Vaadin Flow only includes com/vaadin/flow/component to be always scanned for UI components and views. For this reason, the addon might need to be whitelisted in order to display correctly.

To do so, just add com.flowingcode to the vaadin.whitelisted-packages property in src/main/resources/application.properties, like:

vaadin.whitelisted-packages = com.vaadin,org.vaadin,dev.hilla,com.flowingcode

More information on Spring whitelisted configuration here.
