In the previous articles, we explored the fundamentals of Thymeleaf and focused on reusability with fragments and the Layout Dialect.
Now, in this final installment, we’ll dive into the more advanced features, like creating a custom dialect, processors, and more.
It’s time to dive into one on Thymeleaf’s most powerful aspects: layout management and reusability. These concepts are essential for creating maintainable and efficient templates.
Thymeleaf is a modern Java template engine for both web and standalone applications. Although widely used in the Spring ecosystem, it can be integrated into any JVM environment. If you need a dynamic, flexible, and extensible templating engine, Thymeleaf might be just what you need.
Bytecode is the (mostly) invisible superpower of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Even though it’s an essential part of the Java ecosystem puzzle, it’s also a niche topic and behind-the-scenes feature that many of us do only have surface knowledge of. However, there’s a chicken-egg problem lurking within Bytecode libraries which the OpenJDK team intends to fix with JEP 484.
Shell scripting is vital for automating repetitive tasks and simplifying complex commands into a more straightforward format. Understanding the details of shell scripting enables us to write more robust, portable, and efficient scripts.
Generics are an indispensable feature in the world of Java programming, shaping how we write and interact with code. Despite their ubiquity and importance, many developers only scratch the surface of what Generics can do.
