Let's say you have a HTML5 template file which includes an external javascript file. for example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<title>Reading List</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"
href="/css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script th:src="@{|/js/selectionCreation.js?v=${#dates.createNow()}|}"></script>
There are two controllers - html controller and javascript controller, html controller provides module attributes for rendering html template, the javascript controller supposes to provide module attributes to javascript. However the javascript also needs to use the module attributes provided by html controller. If I moved the javascript inside the html file(inline javascript); in html file, something like:
<script>
var showtext = "[[${readingListObject.course.Id}]]";
console.log(showtext);
</script>
There is no problem, but if I move the script out to a separate external javascript file, how does the external javascript access the module attributes provided by the html controller? Is there a way that javascript controller exchange module attributes with html controller? I use Spring Boot 1.5.10, Thymeleaf 3.0.9.
