Class SearchHelper

java.lang.Object
com.smell.application.search.SearchHelper
public class SearchHelper extends Object
SearchHelper provides utilities for extracting a character ID from a URL and initializing search-related components within a Vaadin application. This class encapsulates the functionality needed to handle the input of URLs, initiate searches, and log outcomes of such operations. The helper is designed to be reusable across different parts of the application that require similar functionality. Usage: 
 SearchHelper helper = new SearchHelper();
 TextField urlField = helper.getUrlField();
 Button searchButton = helper.getSearchButton();
 searchButton.addClickListener(e -> {
     Long characterId = SearchHelper.extractCharacterIdFromUrl(urlField.getValue());
     if(characterId != null) {
         // proceed with characterId
     }
 });
