I created a simple search bar with multiple options enabled by the Select2 library:
<form th:action="@{/searchuser}" method="post">
<div th:object="${searchInput}">
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<input type="text" th:field="*{key}" class="form-control form-control-lg" placeholder="Search Here">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<span class="input-group-text" type="submit"><i class="fas fa-search"></i></span>
</div>
</div>
<select class="select2-multiple-choices select2-choice" multiple="multiple" th:field="*{parameters}">
<option th:value="'id'" value="id"> Id</option>
<option th:value="'First Name'" value="First Name"> First
Name</option>
<option th:value="'Middle Name'"> Middle Name</option>
<option th:value="'Last Name'" value="Last Name"> Last Name</option>
<option th:value="'mail'" value="Mail"> E-Mail </option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
The controller:
@RequestMapping(value = "/searchuser", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView searchUser(Locale locale,
@ModelAttribute("searchInput") SearchUserDTO searchdto,
BindingResult searchBindResult,
Model model) {....}
SearchUserDTO contains String key and List parameters.
I would sent to server the search key and the selected options. How can I get the selection and pass them with thymeleaf?
