My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• Tailwincss
• Mobile-first workflow
• SSR in Scala & Cask webserver
• Thymeleaf templates

running during development

installing "sbt-revolver":

addSbtPlugin("io.spray" % "sbt-revolver" % "0.10.0")

then `~reStart -p 49012`

otherwise ~ in front of sbt command reruns it only if it finished execution.

What I learned

placing Thymeleaf templates

if they are in src/main/resources - they should be available on class path. and search should be relative to the resources, i.e putting templates into dir "templates" then

val templateResolver = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver()
templateResolver.setPrefix("templates/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html")
val result = templateEngine.process("index", context)

will look for file in "src/main/resources/templates/index.html" to treat as a template

to reload web server during development - sbt plugin "sbt-revolver"

with these html templates I can start learning and using Emmet mode in Emacs

Importing Thymeleaf template

There are other methods to include templates like th:replace and th:include, which have slightly different behaviours. th:insert keeps the host tag (the div in your case), th:replace replaces the whole host tag with the fragment, and th:include replaces the inner content of the host tag with the fragment.

So i can actually have the "Order Summary" as reusable part.

getting responsive background image with Tailwincss

    <div
      class="bg-[url('../public/images/pattern-background-mobile.svg')] fixed h-screen w-screen bg-no-repeat bg-contain md:bg-[url('../public/images/pattern-background-desktop.svg')]"
    ></div>

Continued development

This was first exercise I've done with Thymeleaf templates.

Next is using fragments with some dynamic content and styling. Then attempting to include htmx fueled reactivity.

Lots of gratitude to Thymeleaf templates, they seem to be very advandced and thoughtfully designed
