Thymeleaf Expressions

We just introduced the Thymeleaf expressions (enclosed within th:* tags). These can be classified into six categories:

1. Variables
2. Text
3. Selected objects
4. Links
5. Literal substitutions
6. Expression inlining

Variables

When a Thymeleaf template gets processed, the application will put variables in the context via the controller. We can reference those variables in the templates via the ${…} syntax. For example:

<div th:text="${username}"></div>

Suppose there is a String in the Thymeleaf context with the name username that has the value “John Doe.” The HTML will be rendered as:

<div>John Doe</div>

The variable in the context does not need to be a String. Other types will have their toString() method invoked.

Methods

We can also call methods. For example:

<div th:text="${user.getName()}&q
