is it possible extend a shared view with thymeleaf?
I saw that is possible use framents but is not what I want.
Instead I want something similar to .NET MVC, with something like @RenderBody() and another view that extend the shared view by including the shared view.
You can use the Thymeleaf Layout Dialect to extend a view.
Layout page
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
...
<body layout:fragment="body">
...
</body>
</html>
Content page
In your content page, you refer to the layout (decorator) page using the layout:decorator
attribute.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout"
layout:decorator="layout.html">
...
<body layout:fragment="body">
<p>Actual page content</p>
</body>
</html>
It is possible to have multiple fragments in one page.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:layout="http://www.ultraq.net.nz/thymeleaf/layout">
...
<body>
<div layout:fragment="content"></div>
<footer layout:fragment="footer"></footer>
</body>
</html>
