showing 10 of 129- Nov 23, 2021 Using Server-Sent Events with Thymeleaf and HTMX This blog post uses htmx 1.6. In htmx 1.7, server-sent events support has been moved to an extension. The example code on GitHub has been updated to work with htmx 1.7. See commit b46b15b for the (small) changes that are needed. It is possible to push information from a Spring Boot backend to the UI using either Websockets or Server-Sent Events. This blog post will show how to use Thymeleaf with HTMX to push information from the server to the UI with Server-Sent Events.
- Nov 18, 2021 Using Spring Boot ObjectMapper with hibernate-types The hibernate-types library has extra types that are not found in Hibernate by default. One of the most interesting aspects of the library is the support for JSON types. Unfortunately, by default, the library will not pick up any Jackson configuration or custom serializers defined in your Spring Boot project. This blog post will show how to configure things so the JSON related configuration of Spring Boot is used.
- Oct 4, 2021 TodoMVC with Thymeleaf and HTMX In TodoMVC with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf, we implemented a TodoMVC clone using Spring MVC and Thymeleaf. In such a setup, each action triggers a page refresh. While this works just fine, you might want to give a more Single Page Application (SPA) spice to the experience and avoid page refreshes. This blog post will show how to use HTMX to accomplish this.

- Sep 20, 2021 TodoMVC with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf (Part 1) The TodoMVC project has implementations of a simple todo list application for many different frontend frameworks. The goal is that a Single Page Application is implemented in a varity of technologies to be able to compare them. I wanted to stretch the concept a bit and create a Spring Boot backend with Thymeleaf server-side rendered HTML page just to see how that could work and how it would affect the user experience.
