Package org.thymeleaf.postprocessor

Interface IPostProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

PostProcessor

public interface IPostProcessor

Interface defining post-processors.

Post-processors are implementations of ITemplateHandler meant to be executed on template model events after these events have gone through processing by all the applicable processors (implementations of IProcessor).

Post-processors can be used to re-shape the template processing output just before output is really produced.

Most of the times, the PostProcessor implementation will be used for registering post-processors.

3.0.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Class<? extends ITemplateHandler>	getHandlerClass()	Returns the handler class for this post-processor, the ITemplateHandler that implements the real logic to be executed.
int	getPrecedence()	Returns the precedence that should be applied to this post-processor.
TemplateMode	getTemplateMode()	Returns the template mode this post-processor should be executed for.

Method Details

getTemplateMode

TemplateMode getTemplateMode()

Returns the template mode this post-processor should be executed for. A post-processor can only be linked to a specific template mode.

Returns:

the template mode.

getPrecedence

int getPrecedence()

Returns the precedence that should be applied to this post-processor. This will determine the order in which it will be executed in relation to any other post-processors (note that the dialect precedence determined by IPostProcessorDialect.getDialectPostProcessorPrecedence() will be applied first).

Returns:

the post-processor precedence.

getHandlerClass

Class<? extends ITemplateHandler> getHandlerClass()

Returns the handler class for this post-processor, the ITemplateHandler that implements the real logic to be executed.

In order for post-processors to work correctly, they need to implement correctly all the ITemplateHandler contract. In order to make this easier, extending AbstractTemplateHandler is recommended.

Returns:

the handler class.
