Production-ready Spring Boot, crafted carefully.

• Feb 20, 2023 Toasts notifications in Thymeleaf with Shoelace and htmx spring-bootthymeleafhtmx I recently played around with Shoelace, a library of web components. The nice thing about web components is that they are framework agnostic, so we can use them with Thymeleaf as well. This blog post will show how to use the Alert Toast component to show a confirmation or an error to the user. See also part 2 for a similar demo where the HTML of the notifications is generated in Thymeleaf instead of in JavaScript.
• Jan 24, 2023 Using Google login with Spring Boot 3 and Thymeleaf spring-bootthymeleafsecurity Building a complete user management system yourself is quite some work. However, you can very easily allow users to use social login with Google for example and avoid having to do all that work yourself. This blog post will show how to quickly setup a Spring Boot with Thymeleaf project and secure it using Google login.
• Dec 11, 2022 Release 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 of htmx-spring-boot-thymeleaf spring-bootthymeleafhtmx I realized I have not written about the official releases I did for htmx-spring-boot-thymeleaf on this blog, so time to right this wrong now.
• Dec 1, 2022 The error-handling-spring-boot-starter library vs Spring 6 ProblemDetail spring-boot I created the error-handling-spring-boot-starter library for Spring Boot because I was unhappy with the default response that Spring Boot 2 provides out-of-the-box. With Spring Boot 3, there is now support for ProblemDetail and we can have a look on how that changes things.
• Nov 25, 2022 Started my YouTube channel thymeleafspring-boot I started my YouTube channel this week. It was quite something to come to this result, speaking to a camera is quite scary at first, but I think I got a nice result in the end 🙂
• Oct 4, 2022 Htmx authentication error handling thymeleafspring-boothtmx Using htmx is a great way to make your Spring Boot with Thymeleaf web application dynamic without page refreshes. Since there are no page refreshes, but transparent AJAX calls going on, it is important to put in error handling code to ensure a good user experience in case something goes wrong. This blog post shows how to do this.
• Aug 27, 2022 Thymeleaf live reload with Spring Boot and Tailwind CSS thymeleafspring-boottailwindcss This is the 3rd and final part of my series on live reloading with Thymeleaf and Spring Boot, this time focusing on Tailwind CSS.
• Jul 4, 2022 Thymeleaf live reload with Spring Boot DevTools thymeleafspring-boot In my blog post of yesterday, I explained how to use Thymeleaf live reload with npm scripts. Quickly after announcing the blog post on Twitter, Oliver Drotbohm asked me why I didn’t just use Spring Boot DevTools instead. A valid question and one I will address in this follow-up post.
• Jul 3, 2022 Thymeleaf live reload with npm scripts thymeleafspring-boot UPDATE: I created a follow-up blog Thymeleaf live reload with Spring Boot DevTools that shows a way to have Live Reload with a little less setup work, but some important drawbacks as well in my opionion. Be sure to read both blog posts to get an informed opinion about which path to take. If you want to add Tailwind CSS to your project, go to Thymeleaf live reload with Spring Boot and Tailwind CSS after you applied what is shown here. In my book Taming Thymeleaf I use Gulp to setup the frontend build pipeline and have live reloading during development. For the workshop I gave at Spring I/O 2022 Barcelona, I used a different approach using NPM scripts. This avoids the extra gulp dependency with sometimes things that are not up-to-date anymore.
