Extensions to Spring’s FreeMarker macro’s (spring.ftl)

Posted on by

Spring’s FreeMarker macro’s are pretty useful, but there are a couple of things I need from the showErrors macro that simply aren’t there:

  1. Show errors without a HTML tag around them – if you don’t specify a classOrStyle, the showErrors macro will wrap your error message in a <b> tag. If you do, it’ll wrap it in a <span> (understandably)
  2. Pick the tag that surrounds each message – As explained in the first point, you can see we only get the choice of <b> or <span>. What if I wanted to use an <li>? …use the separator? – no good, because unless I write an <#if> statement to check the number of error messages before I call showErrors I’ll end up with redundant <ul>/<ol> and <li>’s in my markup if there aren’t any errors:
    e.g. <ul><li><@spring.showErrors “</li><li>”/></li></ul>
    Which leads me nicely onto the next point:
  3. Show errors in an ordered/unordered list, automatically detecting zero messages and not outputting markup if this is the case
  4. Show errors for multiple bind paths – Spring’s showErrors only shows errors for the currently bound field. However I’ve found that I’ve needed to show errors for 2 or more fields together. This is particularly true of a DOB field where the day/month and year are separate <select>’s
  5. Finally, show errors for multiple bind paths, in an unordered/ordered list

You can download my Spring extensions here: springx.ftl. Inevitably I’ll find more bits and pieces to add and will update them accordingly.

  1. Jean Leising spoke at a breakfast this fall at her 8th grade grandson’s school. Hours later when she was set to give him a ride home from basketball practice he bashfully told her that his entire team had received text messages about her that day — “and they were all bad.” krab8.at Recounting the moment to CNN shortly after she joined 20 other Republican state senators in rejecting President Donald Trump’s redistricting push Leising said she laughed the moment off with her grandson — but that it ultimately led to her opposing the president. “Boy when I got home that night that’s when I decided” said Leising a 76-year-old grandmother of eight first elected to the Senate in 1988. “I was angry. So the next day I said ‘I’ve got to talk about this.’ Because this is over the top. This shouldn’t be the way it was.” krab5.at “But that was the beginning” she added. “It only got worse from there.” It was clear on Thursday that a pressure campaign waged by the White House and its allies had backfired. A state that Trump won by nearly 20 points in 2024 gave him a massive political black eye rejecting a push to create two more GOP-friendly US House seats that could have helped Republicans retain the House majority in next year’s midterms. Several Republican senators noted on Thursday that constituents opposed a mid-decade redrawing of US House maps and that they questioned the wisdom or the precedent of joining the national redistricting battle. But a number of Republicans including people who voted for the president three elections in a row also gave deeply personal reasons over the last several weeks. krab5.at Sen. Mike Bohacek has a daughter with Down syndrome. He was offended by Trump’s use of a slur for people with disabilities in a Truth Social post deriding Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and said that Trump’s “choices of words have consequences.” Sen. Greg Walker who represents former Vice President Mike Pence’s hometown of Columbus said he was among the senators targeted by swatting attempts in the weeks leading up to Thursday’s vote. While law enforcement has not publicly linked the swatting or other threats to a political motive Walker said he felt voting yes would reward wrongdoing and set a dangerous precedent. Sen. Greg Goode whose town hall in Terre Haute this fall revealed massive public opposition to mid-decade redistricting said the new maps would splinter communities with similar interests. He also criticized “over-the-top pressure from inside the Statehouse and outside” as well as “threats of violence acts of violence.” “Whether we realize it or not whether we accept it or not the forces that define this vitriolic political affairs in places outside of Indiana have been gradually and now very blatantly infiltrated the politi krab8.at https://krab1.at/

  2. Trump posted repeatedly on social media about Indiana naming individual senators and threatening primary challengers against anyone who voted no while Vice President JD Vance went twice to Indiana to meet with lawmakers. krab10.cc Trump’s political allies tried to turn Indiana’s vote into a loyalty test mobilizing supporters to pressure holdout Republicans. The Club for Growth and a new group led by a handful of Trump presidential campaign veterans aired ads threatening to oust incumbent senators who voted against redistricting. Turning Point USA the group founded by Charlie Kirk vowed to back those primary challenges and hosted a small rally at the Indiana Statehouse last week. Much of Trump’s ire was focused on Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray the Martinsville Republican who had long insisted the Senate didn’t have enough votes to pass new maps. Bray announced after the vote failed that under Indiana Senate rules the chamber can’t take up the maps again during its 2026 session. krab10.cc Leising said she had voted for Trump three times. But she was unhappy with the president’s efforts to pressure Indiana into scrapping and replacing its congressional maps as part of a nationwide arms race ahead of next year’s midterm elections. “I wish that President Trump would change his tone. He needs to be more positive about what he needs to address for ’27 and ’28. Why does he need to have a Republican majority in ’27 and ’28? What is he going to do next?” Leising said. krab8.cc She also said redistricting advocates’ efforts ultimately backfired hardening opposition in the Senate. “You wouldn’t change minds by being mean. And the efforts were mean-spirited from the get-go” she said. “If you were wanting to change votes you would probably try to explain why we should be doing this in a positive way. That never happened so you know I think they get what they get.” krab9.cc https://krab2.cc
