1.1. Scenario 1: adding features to the Standard dialectsSay your application uses the SpringStandard dialect and that it needs to show an alert text

box in blue or red background depending on the user’s role (admin or non-admin) from

Monday to Saturday, but always in green on Sundays. You can compute this with conditional

expressions on your template, but too many conditions could render your code a little bit hard

to read…

Solution: create a new attribute called alertclass and an attribute processor for it (Java code

that will compute the right CSS class), and package it into your own MyOwnDialect dialect.

Add this dialect to your template engine with the th prefix (same as the SpringStandardone)

and you’ll now be able to use th:alertclass="${user.role}"!
