I started Apache tiles in 2010. It is convenient for the tasks I am doing. Thymeleaf picked up in parallel. By the time I read Thymeleaf template engine is trying to replace JSP, I left it as such and continue using Tiles 🙂
Anyway I wanted to see what is it. I was trying to iterate a list using th: namespace.
I have a controller like this, which returns a list of my entity.
[code language=”java”]
@GetMapping (value = “/”)
public String index(Locale locale, Model model) {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
List fromRest = restTemplate.getForObject(“http://localhost:8081/api/v1/feeditems”, List.class);
model.addAttribute(“feeditems”, (List)fromRest);
return “index”;
}
[/code]
And it is
[code language=”java”]
<div th:if=”${#lists.isEmpty(feeditems)}”>
Empty
</div>
<div th:if=”not ${#lists.isEmpty(feeditems)}”>
Not Empty
</div>
<div th:each=”post:${feeditems}”>
<div th:text=”${post.title}”></div>
</div>
[/code]
Here is the output:
