Add a Page to a Spring Boot App (Extremely Basic)

I have a spring boot api. My problem is how do I actually create a page in my app?

I created a page in /resources/static/templates/index.html

and when I get to /api/lol I just see a string saying index and not the page.

How do I do this?

@RequestMapping("/api")
@RestController
public class Controller {

    @Autowired
    JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

    @GetMapping("/lol")
    String lol() {            
          return "index";
    }
}

Put your index.html in src/main/resources/static

and then in your controller 

@RequestMapping("/api")
@RestController
public class Controller {

    @Autowired
    JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

    @GetMapping("/lol")
    String lol() {            
          return "index.html";
    }
}

You annotated your class with @RestController.
What you want is a MVC Controller, so replace it with @Controller.

Here is an example of the documentation :

@Controller
public class HelloController {

    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String handle(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("message", "Hello World!");
        return "index";
    }
}
