Class ScriptTemplateConfigurer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.servlet.view.script.ScriptTemplateConfigurer

All Implemented Interfaces:

ScriptTemplateConfig

public class ScriptTemplateConfigurer
extends Object
implements ScriptTemplateConfig

An implementation of Spring MVC's ScriptTemplateConfig for creating a ScriptEngine for use in a web application.

 // Add the following to an @Configuration class
 @Bean
 public ScriptTemplateConfigurer mustacheConfigurer() {
    ScriptTemplateConfigurer configurer = new ScriptTemplateConfigurer();
    configurer.setEngineName("nashorn");
    configurer.setScripts("mustache.js");
    configurer.setRenderObject("Mustache");
    configurer.setRenderFunction("render");
    return configurer;
 }
 

NOTE: It is possible to use non thread-safe script engines with templating libraries not designed for concurrency, like Handlebars or React running on Nashorn, by setting the sharedEngine property to false.

Since:

4.2

Constructor Detail

ScriptTemplateConfigurer

public ScriptTemplateConfigurer()

Default constructor.

ScriptTemplateConfigurer

public ScriptTemplateConfigurer(String engineName)

Create a new ScriptTemplateConfigurer using the given engine name.

Method Detail

setEngine

public void setEngine(@Nullable
                      ScriptEngine engine)

Set the ScriptEngine to use by the view. If renderFunction is specified, the script engine must implement Invocable. You must define engine or engineName, not both.

When the sharedEngine flag is set to false, you should not specify the script engine with this setter, but with the setEngineName(String) one (since it implies multiple lazy instantiations of the script engine).

See Also:

setEngineName(String)

getEngine

@Nullable
public ScriptEngine getEngine()

Description copied from interface: ScriptTemplateConfig

Return the ScriptEngine to use by the views.

Specified by:

getEngine in interface ScriptTemplateConfig

setEngineName

public void setEngineName(@Nullable
                          String engineName)

Set the engine name that will be used to instantiate the ScriptEngine. If renderFunction is specified, the script engine must implement Invocable. You must define engine or engineName, not both.

See Also:

setEngine(ScriptEngine)

getEngineName

@Nullable
public String getEngineName()

Description copied from interface: ScriptTemplateConfig

Return the engine name that will be used to instantiate the ScriptEngine.

Specified by:

getEngineName in interface ScriptTemplateConfig

setSharedEngine

public void setSharedEngine(@Nullable
                            Boolean sharedEngine)

When set to false, use thread-local ScriptEngine instances instead of one single shared instance. This flag should be set to false for those using non thread-safe script engines with templating libraries not designed for concurrency, like Handlebars or React running on Nashorn for example. In this case, Java 8u60 or greater is required due to this bug.

When this flag is set to false, the script engine must be specified using setEngineName(String). Using setEngine(ScriptEngine) is not possible because multiple instances of the script engine need to be created lazily (one per thread).

THREADING ScriptEngine parameter

isSharedEngine

@Nullable
public Boolean isSharedEngine()

Description copied from interface: ScriptTemplateConfig

Return whether to use a shared engine for all threads or whether to create thread-local engine instances for each thread.

Specified by:

isSharedEngine in interface ScriptTemplateConfig

setScripts

public void setScripts(@Nullable
                       String... scriptNames)

Set the scripts to be loaded by the script engine (library or user provided). Since resourceLoaderPath default value is "classpath:", you can load easily any script available on the classpath.

For example, in order to use a JavaScript library available as a WebJars dependency and a custom "render.js" file, you should call configurer.setScripts("/META-INF/resources/webjars/library/version/library.js", "com/myproject/script/render.js");.

setResourceLoaderPath(java.lang.String), WebJars

getScripts

@Nullable
public String[] getScripts()

Description copied from interface: ScriptTemplateConfig

Return the scripts to be loaded by the script engine (library or user provided).

Specified by:

getScripts in interface ScriptTemplateConfig

setRenderObject

public void setRenderObject(@Nullable
                            String renderObject)

Set the object where the render function belongs (optional). For example, in order to call Mustache.render(), renderObject should be set to "Mustache" and renderFunction to "render".

getRenderObject

@Nullable
public String getRenderObject()

Description copied from interface: ScriptTemplateConfig

Return the object where the render function belongs (optional).

Specified by:

getRenderObject in interface ScriptTemplateConfig

setRenderFunction

public void setRenderFunction(@Nullable
                              String renderFunction)

Set the render function name (optional). If not specified, the script templates will be evaluated with ScriptEngine.eval(String, Bindings).

This function will be called with the following parameters:

1. String template: the template content
2. Map model: the view model
3. RenderingContext context: the rendering context (since 5.0)

Standard URLs like "file:" and "classpath:" and pseudo URLs are supported as understood by Spring's ResourceLoader. Relative paths are allowed when running in an ApplicationContext.

Default is "classpath:".
