Description

@sandys

write a spring boot controller that uses HTMX for the views using Groovy templates

In this example, we'll create a Spring Boot application that uses HTMX for the views and Groovy templates for rendering the HTML. To achieve this, follow the steps below:

  1. Create a new Spring Boot project with the following dependencies: Web, Groovy Templates, and HTMX.

  2. Add the HTMX library to your project by including it in your src/main/resources/static folder. Download the library from https://htmx.org and place the htmx.min.js file in the static folder.

  3. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/index.tpl:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>HTMX with Groovy Templates</title>
    <script src="/htmx.min.js" th:src="@{/htmx.min.js}" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div hx-get="/counter" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="load">
        <!-- Placeholder for the counter -->
    </div>
    <button hx-post="/increment" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-target="#counter">
        Increment
    </button>
</body>
</html>
  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/counter.tpl:
<span id="counter" th:text="${count}">
    <!-- Placeholder for the count -->
</span>
  1. Create a Spring Boot controller:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

@Controller
public class HtmxController {

    private final AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger(0);

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/counter")
    public String counter(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("count", counter.get());
        return "counter";
    }

    @PostMapping("/increment")
    public String increment(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("count", counter.incrementAndGet());
        return "counter";
    }
}
  1. Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a counter that can be incremented by clicking the "Increment" button. The counter will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates.

please rewrite last output by filling the placeholders

Here's the revised output with the placeholders filled:

  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/index.tpl:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>HTMX with Groovy Templates</title>
    <script src="/htmx.min.js" th:src="@{/htmx.min.js}" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div hx-get="/counter" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="load">
        <!-- The counter will be loaded here -->
    </div>
    <button hx-post="/increment" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-target="#counter">
        Increment
    </button>
</body>
</html>
  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/counter.tpl:
<span id="counter" th:text="${count}">
    <!-- The count value will be displayed here -->
</span>
  1. Create a Spring Boot controller:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

@Controller
public class HtmxController {

    private final AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger(0);

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/counter")
    public String counter(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("count", counter.get());
        return "counter";
    }

    @PostMapping("/increment")
    public String increment(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("count", counter.incrementAndGet());
        return "counter";
    }
}
  1. Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a counter that initially shows "0" and can be incremented by clicking the "Increment" button. The counter will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates.

please create a more complex example for the same thing

In this more complex example, we'll create a Spring Boot application that displays a list of users and allows you to add new users using HTMX and Groovy templates.

  1. Create a new Spring Boot project with the following dependencies: Web, Groovy Templates, and HTMX.

  2. Add the HTMX library to your project as described in the previous example.

  3. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/index.tpl:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>HTMX with Groovy Templates - User List</title>
    <script src="/htmx.min.js" th:src="@{/htmx.min.js}" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>User List</h1>
    <div id="user-list" hx-get="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="load">
        <!-- User list will be loaded here -->
    </div>

    <h2>Add New User</h2>
    <form hx-post="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-target="#user-list">
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
        <button type="submit">Add User</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/users.tpl:
<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Email</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr th:each="user : ${users}">
            <td th:text="${user.name}"></td>
            <td th:text="${user.email}"></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
  1. Create a User class:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

public class User {
    private String name;
    private String email;

    public User(String name, String email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
}
  1. Create a Spring Boot controller:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@Controller
public class HtmxController {

    private final List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/users")
    public String users(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }

    @PostMapping("/users")
    public String addUser(@RequestParam String name, @RequestParam String email, Model model) {
        users.add(new User(name, email));
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }
}
  1. Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates.

the tpl file doesnt look like groovy template. are you using thymeleaf templates ? please make sure you are using groovy templates. please also mention the dependencies needed to add groovy to the spring boot project

Apologies for the confusion. You're right, the templates used in the previous examples were Thymeleaf templates. Let's switch to using Groovy templates in this example:

  1. Add the following dependencies to your build.gradle or pom.xml to include Groovy templates in your Spring Boot project:

For build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-groovy-templates'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

For pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-groovy-templates</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/index.tpl:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>HTMX with Groovy Templates - User List</title>
    <script src="/htmx.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>User List</h1>
    <div id="user-list" hx-get="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="load">
        <!-- User list will be loaded here -->
    </div>

    <h2>Add New User</h2>
    <form hx-post="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-target="#user-list">
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
        <button type="submit">Add User</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/users.tpl:
yieldUnescaped '<table>'
yieldUnescaped '<thead>'
yieldUnescaped '<tr>'
yieldUnescaped '<th>Name</th>'
yieldUnescaped '<th>Email</th>'
yieldUnescaped '</tr>'
yieldUnescaped '</thead>'
yieldUnescaped '<tbody>'

users.each { user ->
    yieldUnescaped '<tr>'
    yieldUnescaped "<td>${user.name}</td>"
    yieldUnescaped "<td>${user.email}</td>"
    yieldUnescaped '</tr>'
}

yieldUnescaped '</tbody>'
yieldUnescaped '</table>'
  1. Keep the User class and the Spring Boot controller from the previous example without any changes.

  2. Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates.

Note: The Groovy template syntax is different from Thymeleaf, as it uses yieldUnescaped to output HTML content. The ${} syntax is used for expression interpolation, allowing you to incorporate variable values into the output.

can we eliminate or reduce the large number of yieldunescaped ? or alternatively, can we represent groovy templates largely in html with only the variables or loops in groovy?

Yes, you can use Groovy's MarkupTemplateEngine to achieve this. It allows you to create Groovy templates with more HTML-like syntax, where the Groovy code is embedded within the HTML.

Here's how you can create the users.tpl using MarkupTemplateEngine:

  1. Create a Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/users.tpl:
<html>
  <table>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Email</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      ${users.collect { user ->
        """
        <tr>
          <td>${user.name}</td>
          <td>${user.email}</td>
        </tr>
        """
      }.join()}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</html>

With this approach, you can write most of the template in HTML, and use ${} syntax for expression interpolation and code execution. In this example, we use the collect method to iterate through the users list and generate the HTML for each user, then join to combine the generated HTML strings.

Note that you'll need to configure the spring.groovy.template.configuration to use MarkupTemplateEngine in your application.properties or application.yml file.

For application.properties:

spring.groovy.template.configuration=org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.MethodClosure:<init>

For application.yml:

spring:
  groovy:
    template:
      configuration: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.MethodClosure:<init>

Keep the index.tpl, User class, and the Spring Boot controller from the previous example without any changes.

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine.

can you replace the application.yml and application.properties into java code instead ?

Sure, to configure the MarkupTemplateEngine using Java code, you can create a configuration class with a bean definition for the GroovyTemplateConfigurer. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Create a configuration class GroovyTemplateConfig.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.groovy.template.GroovyTemplateConfigurer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class GroovyTemplateConfig {

    @Bean
    public GroovyTemplateConfigurer groovyTemplateConfigurer() {
        GroovyTemplateConfigurer configurer = new GroovyTemplateConfigurer();
        configurer.setTemplateEngine(new MarkupTemplateEngine());
        return configurer;
    }
}

This configuration class defines a bean named groovyTemplateConfigurer that creates a new GroovyTemplateConfigurer instance and sets its template engine to MarkupTemplateEngine.

Keep the index.tpl, users.tpl, User class, and the Spring Boot controller from the previous example without any changes.

Now you don't need the application.properties or application.yml file for the configuration.

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine.

please output the complete example here

Here is the complete example using Spring Boot, HTMX, Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine, and Java configuration:

  1. build.gradle:
plugins {
  id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.5'
  id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
  id 'java'
}

group = 'com.example'

        <tr>
          <td>${user.name}</td>
          <td>${user.email}</td>
        </tr>
        """
      }.join()}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</html>
  1. User.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

public class User {
    private String name;
    private String email;

    public User(String name, String email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
}
  1. HtmxController.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@Controller
public class HtmxController {

    private final List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/users")
    public String users(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }

    @PostMapping("/users")
    public String addUser(@RequestParam String name, @RequestParam String email, Model model) {
        users.add(new User(name, email));
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }
}
  1. GroovyTemplateConfig.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.groovy.template.GroovyTemplateConfigurer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class GroovyTemplateConfig {

    @Bean
    public GroovyTemplateConfigurer groovyTemplateConfigurer() {
        GroovyTemplateConfigurer configurer = new GroovyTemplateConfigurer();
        configurer.setTemplateEngine(new MarkupTemplateEngine());
        return configurer;
    }
}
  1. HtmxGroovyDemoApplication.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class HtmxGroovyDemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(HtmxGroovyDemoApplication.class, args);
    }
}

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine.

now make the design responsive and mobile friendly by using good design practices. make sure you are using Bootstrap Framework version 5.x. apply a CSS theme file to this and make changes to the templates to enforce Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for html

To apply a CSS theme and enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, follow these steps:

  1. Add a custom CSS file src/main/resources/static/css/theme.css with your desired styles:
/* Add your custom theme styles here */
  1. Modify the Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/index.tpl to include the custom theme CSS file and add the necessary attributes for ADA compliance:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>HTMX with Groovy Templates - User List</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/theme.css">
    <script src="/htmx.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1 class="mt-5">User List</h1>
        <div id="user-list" hx-get="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-trigger="load" role="region" aria-live="polite">
            <!-- User list will be loaded here -->
        </div>

        <h2 class="mt-5">Add New User</h2>
        <form hx-post="/users" hx-swap="outerHTML" hx-target="#user-list" class="row g-3" role="form">
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <label for="name" class="form-label">Name:</label>
                <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required class="form-control" aria-describedby="nameHelp">
                <div id="nameHelp" class="form-text">Please enter your name.</div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <label for="email" class="form-label">Email:</label>
                <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required class="form-control" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
                <div id="emailHelp" class="form-text">Please enter your email address.</div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-12">
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary mt-2">Add User</button>
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Here we added the theme.css file and the necessary attributes for ADA compliance, such as role, aria-live, and aria-describedby.

  1. Modify the Groovy template file src/main/resources/templates/users.tpl to add the necessary attributes for ADA compliance:
<html>
  <table class="table table-striped" role="table" aria-label="User List">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">Name</th>
        <th scope="col">Email</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      ${users.collect { user ->
        """
        <tr>
          <td>${user.name}</td>
          <td>${user.email}</td>
        </tr>
        """
      }.join()}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</html>

Keep the User class, the Spring Boot controller, and the GroovyTemplateConfig from the previous examples without any changes.

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a responsive user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine. The design will be mobile-friendly, responsive, and ADA-compliant using Bootstrap 5.x and the custom theme.

please fill the custom theme css for the appropriate colors and fonts that makes for a good design and also applies ADA guidelines according to you

Below is an example of a custom theme CSS file that defines colors and fonts while adhering to ADA guidelines. This theme uses high contrast colors for better readability, larger default font sizes, and a clear focus state for form elements.

Create or update the custom CSS file src/main/resources/static/css/theme.css:

/* Typography */
body {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 1.6;
  color: #333;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-top: 1rem;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

/* Colors */
a {
  color: #0066cc;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover, a:focus {
  color: #004999;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

/* Form elements */
input[type="text"],
input[type="email"],

This CSS theme uses Arial as the default font for better readability and increases the font size to 18px. It also sets a high contrast color scheme for links, buttons, and tables. The focus state for form elements is clearly visible.

Keep the modified index.tpl, users.tpl, User class, the Spring Boot controller, and the GroovyTemplateConfig from the previous examples.

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a responsive user list with a custom theme that adheres to ADA guidelines for better readability and accessibility. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine.

please do not use Arial font. please choose good fonts from Google Fonts. make sure they are loaded directly from Google Fonts CDN. Also make sure that the bootstrap css and js files are loaded directly from any good and free CDN.

To use Google Fonts and load Bootstrap CSS and JS files from a CDN, update your index.tpl file as follows:

</html>

In the <head> section, we added a link to the Google Fonts CDN to load the Roboto font. We also updated the links for Bootstrap CSS and JS files to load them from the MaxCDN.

Next, update the theme.css file to use the Roboto font:

/* Typography */
body {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
  font-size: 18px;
  line-height: 1.6;
  color: #333;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-top: 1rem;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
}

/* Colors */
a {
  color: #0066cc;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover, a:focus {
  color: #004999;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

/* Form elements */
input[type="text"],
input[type="email"],
input[type="password"],
textarea,
select {
  font-size: 18px;
}

input:focus,
textarea:focus,
select:focus {
  outline: 3px solid #0066cc;
  outline-offset: 2px;
}

/* Buttons */
.btn-primary {
  background-color: #0066cc;
  border-color: #0066cc;
}

.btn-primary:hover,
.btn-primary:focus {
  background-color: #004999;
  border-color: #004999;
}

/* High contrast table */
.table-striped tbody tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
  background-color: rgba(0, 102, 204, 0.05);
}

.table thead th {
  background-color: #0066cc;
  color: #fff;
  border-color: #0066cc;
}

Keep the modified users.tpl, User class, the Spring Boot controller, and the GroovyTemplateConfig from the previous examples.

Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a responsive user list with a custom theme that adheres to ADA guidelines for better readability and accessibility. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine. The design will be mobile-friendly, responsive, and ADA-compliant using Bootstrap 5.x, Google Fonts, and the custom theme.

please generate the complete example

Here's the complete example with all the files needed for the project:

  1. Add the following dependencies to your build.gradle or pom.xml to include Groovy templates and the Spring Boot web starter in your Spring Boot project:

For build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-groovy-templates'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

For pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-groovy-templates</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    public User(String name, String email) {
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
}

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@Controller
public class UserController {

    private final List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

    @GetMapping("/")
    public String index() {
        return "index";
    }

    @GetMapping("/users")
    public String getUsers(Model model) {
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }

    @PostMapping("/users")
    public String addUser(@RequestParam("name") String name, @RequestParam("email") String email, Model model) {
        users.add(new User(name, email));
        model.addAttribute("users", users);
        return "users";
    }
}

        """
        <tr>
          <td>${user.name}</td>
          <td>${user.email}</td>
        </tr>
        """
      }.join()}
    </tbody>
  </table>
</html>
  1. Create a configuration class GroovyTemplateConfig.java:
package com.example.htmxgroovydemo;

import groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.groovy.template.GroovyTemplateConfigurer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class GroovyTemplateConfig {

    @Bean
    public GroovyTemplateConfigurer groovyTemplateConfigurer() {
        GroovyTemplateConfigurer configurer = new GroovyTemplateConfigurer();
        configurer.setTemplateEngine(new MarkupTemplateEngine());
        return configurer;
    }
}
  1. Create a custom CSS file src/main/resources/static/css/theme.css:
/* Typography */

  border-color: #0066cc;
}
  1. Create a src/main/resources/static/htmx.min.js file and paste the contents of the HTMX library from the official website: https://htmx.org/

Now you have a complete example with all the necessary files. Run your Spring Boot application and open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a responsive user list that you can add new users to by filling out the form and clicking the "Add User" button. The user list will be updated using HTMX, and the HTML will be rendered using Groovy templates with MarkupTemplateEngine. The design will be mobile-friendly, responsive, and ADA-compliant using Bootstrap 5.x, Google Fonts, and the custom theme.
