I'am trying to convert vaadin 7 code to vaadin 8 code Instead of using BeanFieldGroup vaadin 8 docs uses Binder instead to bind form fields to a class. This does not seem to work for combo box's.

I've looked for a way to use converter which does not seem to be available for combo box. As used in binding data to form in the vaadin documentation here

For one field the converter worked:

binder.forField(age).withConverter(
 new 
StringToIntegerConverter("Must enter a number")).bind(
 Student::getAge, 
Student::setAge);

But for a combo box I'am unsure how this will work.

ComboBox<String> gender = new ComboBox<String>("Gender");

Binder binder = new Binder<Student>(Student.class);

binder.bind(gender, Student::getGender, Student::setGender);

Which I know will not work is there a way to write a converter for a combo box or should another way be used altogether.

  Which I know will not work - why not? looks good to me. Did you set items for the ComboBox? There should never be a need for a Converter on a ComboBox - You can always add an ItemLabelGenerator where you can define the conversion from the original type to how it should be displayed (default is toString, but you could convert it to Vaadin Components for example. see how it is done in the documentation)

  is gender actually an Enum or is it a String in your student object? using bindInstanceFields can be easier but IIRC then it only works for very basic bindings - no converters, validators, nullRepresentations, or readOnly (no setter) can be set, and you can't bind nested fields of the Student object. it basically applies binder.forField(field).bind("propertyName") for each HasValue-component in your view

Assuming your gender enum class is called Gender, this will work:

I have found that in vaadin 8 uses bindInstanceFields to bind form data to a class.

Binder binder = new Binder<Student>(Student.class);

binder.bindInstanceFields(this);
binder.readBean(student);
