create relative links with Thymeleaf - thymeleaf

Question

I have the following code which loops through a list of countries and creates a href links
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="${country.countryAbbr}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>
The current page url is "localhost:8080/directory", and the generated url is showing as
"localhost:8080/us"
How can I make the url show as "localhost:8080/directory/us"
I want "us" to be added to the current url of the page.

Answer 1

Try create the following code in your Controller class.
#RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String rootGet() {
return "redirect:/directory";
}

Answer 2

You can use ServletUriComponentsBuilder:
<div th:with="urlBuilder=${T(org.springframework.web.servlet.support.ServletUriComponentsBuilder)}"
class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="${urlBuilder.fromCurrentRequest().path(${country.countryAbbr}).toUriString()}">
<div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div>
</a>
</div>

Answer 3

Give a try to this one
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="#{${country.countryAbbr}}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>
Using # usually resolves the default context but I am not aware of your environment.
For example, if you had Tomcat .war file, and your application would be hosted at localhost:8080/myApp, you would want result /myApp/us rather then /us. # would do that trick.
If above is not relevant for you, use this one:
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="#{'/directory/' + ${country.countryAbbr}}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>
