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. What if we designed a game where players had to code their way out of increasingly bizarre scenarios? Imagine puzzles that require not just logic but also an understanding of humor and creativity. How could we incorporate unexpected twists that challenge conventional coding knowledge while making the game entertaining?

  8. What if coding were treated as a competitive sport? How would that change the way we approach learning programming languages and developing software? Would it encourage more creativity and collaboration or create a cutthroat environment that stifles innovation?

  10. Here’s the harsh truth: most septic companies just service tanks. They act like temporary salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They are special. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids hardly tall enough to lift a shovel—helped install their family’s septic system alongside a experienced pro. Visualize this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. “We did not just dig trenches,” Art shared with me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. “We learned how ground whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That’s Mother Nature shouting ‘high water table.’”
