Usage

The starter configures a org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver and a jte Template engine. Now you can return a string, pointing to template file name and the resolver will take care to instantiate the view and render the template.

Info

By default, the templates are expected at src/main/jte.

@param DemoModel model

@GetMapping("/") 
public String view(Model model, HttpServletResponse response) {
    model.addAttribute("model", new DemoModel("Hello World"));
    return "demo";
}

You can use it with Spring WebMVC as well as with Spring WebFlux.

Configuration

By default, the template files are expected in src/main/jte, You can also set the templateSuffix of your jte templates

gg.jte.templateLocation=src/main/jte
gg.jte.templateSuffix=.jte

Development

If you set developmentMode = true the jte file watcher will watch for changes in templates and recompile them.

Warning

This only works with a JDK!

1
gg.jte.developmentMode=true

Production

To use precompiled Templates in production, for use with a JRE environment, you need to configure the Maven/Gradle Plugin to precompile your templates:

1
gg.jte.usePrecompiledTemplates=true
