Is it possible to create a dynamic replace in Thymeleaf?
I have the following controller:
@Controller
public class LoginController {
@RequestMapping("/login")
public String getLogin(Model model){
model.addAttribute("template","login");
return "index";
}
}
And the following view:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org" >
<head></head>
<body>
<div th:replace="fragments/${template} :: ${template}"></div>
</body>
</html>
And i'm getting the following error:
Error resolving template "fragments/${template}", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
UPDATE
I tried to preprocess my variables like this:
<div th:replace="fragments/${__#{${template}}__} :: ${__#{${template}}__}"></div>
How ever now ${template} is getting replaced with login i have the following error now:
Exception evaluating SpringEL expression: "??login_en_US??"

In Thymeleaf 3.0, the following solution has worked for me:
<div th:replace="('fragments/' + ${template}) :: (${template})">
(Note however, that I use it with fixed name of the fragment and dynamic name of the template, so the parantheses around :: (${template}) might be optional.)
The solution is inspired by documentation for Thymeleaf in https://www.thymeleaf.org/doc/tutorials/3.0/usingthymeleaf.html#fragment-specification-syntax
Both templatename and selector in the above examples can be fully-featured expressions (even conditionals!) like:
<div th:insert="footer :: (${user.isAdmin}? #{footer.admin} : #{footer.normaluser})"></div>Note again how the surrounding ~{...} envelope is optional in th:insert/th:replace

Although Joe Essey's solution is working as well i solved with following code:
<div th:replace="@{'fragments/' + ${template}} :: ${template}"></div>
I believe the appropriate method to manage this behavior in thymeleaf is to use layout:fragment tags. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here is a simple example of my layout page, and the login page which is 'dynamically' loaded:
layout.html
<html xmlns:layout="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:th="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title layout:title-pattern="$DECORATOR_TITLE - $CONTENT_TITLE">Layout</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="app-container">
<div th:fragment="content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div th:fragment="script"></div>
</body>
</html>
Then, when login gets loaded, it replaces the th:fragment div with the associated div in the html view which matches the string returned by the controller method, in this case login.html:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org"
xmlns:layout="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
layout:decorator="layout">
<head>
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<div th:fragment="content">
<form th:action="@{/login}" method="post">
<div><label> User Name : <input type="text" name="username"/> </label></div>
<div><label> Password: <input type="password" name="password"/> </label></div>
<div><input type="submit" value="Sign In"/></div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now, if you want to load another fragment conditionally, the approach I take is to add replace tags with th:if cases. Here's an example of a Form that displays different questions based on an attribute of the current user:
<div th:if="${foo.type)} == 'type_1'">
<div th:replace="fragments/custom-questions :: type-1-checkboxes"></div>
</div>
<div th:if="${foo.type} == 'type_2'">
<div th:replace="fragments/custom-questions :: type-2-checkboxes"></div>
</div>
Then the associated div gets loaded from the file custom-questions.html:
<div th:fragment="type-1-checkboxes">
//stuff
</div>
<div th:fragment="type-2-checkboxes">
//stuff
</div>
I am just encountering this issue (this is my first time with thymeleaf/spring). This is what solved it for me:
<div class="col-md-12" th:include="__${template}__ :: body" ...
