How to convert numbers to dates using th:text in Thymeleaf.
In Thymeleaf, you can use Thymeleaf’s expression language to convert numbers into dates. The specific steps are as follows:
- In Thymeleaf template, use th:text directive to display a date. For example, to display a date represented by a number, you can use the following syntax:
<span th:text="${#dates.format(#numbers.formatDecimal(number, 0, '0'), 'yyyy-MM-dd')}"></span>
In the above syntax, ${#numbers.formatDecimal(number, 0, ‘0’)} is used to format numbers as strings, while the #dates.format() function is used to format strings as dates. The date format can be adjusted as needed.
- In the controller, pass a number to the Thymeleaf template. For example, if there is a variable named “number” representing a date in the controller, you can use the following code to pass the variable to the template:
model.addAttribute("number", number);
In the above code, “model” is an object of type Model that can be used to pass data to Thymeleaf templates.
- In Thymeleaf templates, use the th:text directive and Thymeleaf’s expression language to access the passed numeric variable. For example, you can retrieve the “number” variable that was passed using the following syntax:
<span th:text="${number}"></span>
In the above syntax, ${number} is used to retrieve the value of the variable “number” that is passed and display it on the page.
By following the above steps, you can convert numbers into dates and display them in Thymeleaf templates. Please adjust the date format and display position according to specific requirements.
