Spring with Thymeleaf

Spring and Thymeleaf are popular tools for building web applications in Java.

Spring is a framework for building web applications, and Thymeleaf is a template engine used to generate HTML pages.

Here's an example of how you can use Spring and Thymeleaf together to render a web page:

  1. First, you'll need to add the following dependencies to your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>
  1. Next, you can create a controller that maps a URL to a Thymeleaf template:
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@Controller
public class MyController {

  @GetMapping("/")
  public String home(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("message", "Hello, World!");
    return "home";
  }
}
  1. Finally, you can create the Thymeleaf template in src/main/resources/templates/home.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1 th:text="${message}"></h1>
</body>
</html>

In this example, the controller maps the / URL to the home template. The home template uses the message attribute from the model to render a greeting.

You can start the application with the main method, and you should be able to see the greeting at http://localhost:8080/.
