While reading the chapter, you created a
basic Hello, World application using Spring Boot called hello-spring. Open that project up
in IntelliJ, and get ready to add some features!
Note
Before your start these exercises, take a look at the hello-spring-demo class-annotations branch. to make sure your own application matches ours.
Create and checkout a branch for your exercises solution. Name it something useful, such as controller-exercises.
Modify your HelloController class to display a form on a GET
request that asks the user for both their name and the language they
would like to be greeted in. It should look something like this:
Greeting Form¶
The resulting form submission should return and display the message, “Bonjour Chris”.
Note
The language is presented in a dropdown, more formally known
as a select element. For more information about the select element and how it works, read the MDN documentation.
When the user submits the form (via a POST request), they should be
greeted in the selected language. Your new feature should:
public static method, createMessage, in the HelloController that takes a name as well as a language string. Based on the language string, you’ll display the proper greeting.Commit your changes!
