Spring Boot and form Thymeleaf. Accessing object properties from the template
I am currently trying out with Spring Boot, and have developed some smaller CRUD-like applications with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf.
Here my controller
@Controller
public class Home {
@RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Post post) {
return "index";
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String addNewPost(@Valid Post post, BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) {
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
return "index";
}
model.addAttribute("title", post.getTitle());
model.addAttribute("content", post.getContent());
return "result";
}
}
My index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Spring Boot and Thymeleaf example</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h3>Spring Boot and Thymeleaf, part 2 - forms</h3>
<form action="#" th:action="@{/}" th:object="${post}" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Title:</td>
<td><input type="text" th:field="*{post}" /></td>
<td th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('title')}" th:errors="*{title}">Title error message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content:</td>
<td><input type="text" th:field="*{post}" /></td>
<td th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('content')}" th:errors="*{content}">Content error message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><button type="submit">Submit post</button></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And I wonder if instead of adding every property of the object Post one by one I could add the object itself.
I've tried this
@Controller
public class Home {
@RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Post post) {
return "index";
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String addNewPost(@Valid Post post, BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) {
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
return "index";
}
model.addAttribute("post", post);
return "result";
}
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Spring Boot and Thymeleaf example</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h3>Spring Boot and Thymeleaf, part 2 - forms</h3>
<form action="#" th:action="@{/}" th:object="${post}" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Title:</td>
<td><input type="text" th:field="*{title}" /></td>
<td th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('title')}" th:errors="*{title}">Title error message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content:</td>
<td><input type="text" th:field="*{content}" /></td>
<td th:if="${#fields.hasErrors('content')}" th:errors="*{content}">Content error message</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><button type="submit">Submit post</button></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
But then I got this error:
org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'post' of bean class [com.jvmhub.springboot.form.Post]: Bean property 'post' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

To access object property , kindly use.
<h1 th:text="${title}" ></h1>

Yes. Just add post object as a model attribute:
model.addAttribute("post", post);
To access its properties use simply:
<td><input type="text" th:text="${post.title}" /></td>
P.S. Your bindings in form are incorrect. If you have an th:object="${post}", you access its properties:
<td><input type="text" th:field="*{title}" /></td>
