Changing html title value dynamically with Thymeleaf and Spring boot











up vote

favorite












My webpage is rendering each page (~20 pages) with a general wrapper and including it via Thymeleaf (th:include="wrapper :: page"). Im adding ViewControllers for those pages as follows: "registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("index");" (example)



Now my question.. since i want to change the title html tag dynamically for each page..
( <meta name="title" th:content="${title}"/>)...

is it OK if i change my current addViewController methods for a new Controller, @RequestMapping each page and adding a model model.addAttribute("title", titleVariable);?

Or it would be seen as bad practice to add so many @RequestMapping methods for just changing the html title attribute? is there otherwise another better way of changing the title tag dynamically?

          Add this to the page-layout head:



          <title layout:title-pattern="$LAYOUT_TITLE - $CONTENT_TITLE">Site name</title>


          and it will pull in all titles on your included pages when you have the template setup like this:



          <html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org" layout:decorate="~{direcory/pagename}">
          <head>
          <title>This title will appear</title>
          </head>

            Are you allowed to use jQuery?



            $('title').text($('meta[name="title"]')[0].content);


            or store it in a variable first



            var title = $('meta[name="title"]')[0].content;
            $('title').text(title);
