Thymeleaf offers various methods for looping through data, below are some commonly used ones:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. By using the th:each directive, you can iterate over a collection and bind each element in the collection to the current iteration variable. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <ul<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    <li<\/span> th:each<\/span>=\"item : ${items}\"<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${item}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/li<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/ul<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. The index variable used with th:each directive can be used to access the current iteration index value in addition to binding elements in a collection. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      <ul<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    <li<\/span> th:each<\/span>=\"item, index : ${items}\"<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${index + 1 + '. ' + item}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/li<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/ul<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. The state variable used with th:each directive: You can use the state variable provided by the th:each directive to access current iteration information. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        <table<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    <tr<\/span> th:each<\/span>=\"user, status : ${users}\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <td<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${status.index + 1}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/td<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <td<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${user.name}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/td<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <td<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${status.current}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/td<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <td<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${status.first}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/td<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <td<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${status.last}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/td<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    <\/tr<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/table<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. You can wrap the content to be looped with the th:block directive, then use the th:each directive to loop through the content within the th:block. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          <th:block<\/span> th:each<\/span>=\"item : ${items}\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n    <p<\/span> th:text<\/span>=\"${item}\"<\/span>><\/span><\/p<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/th:block<\/span>><\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          These are commonly used looping methods in Thymeleaf, and you can choose the appropriate one based on your specific needs for looping through elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
