# BoxLang with Spring Boot ## Overview The `boxlang-spring-boot-starter` automatically configures BoxLang as a view engine inside any Spring Boot 3.x application. Spring controllers return logical view names, which Spring resolves to `.bxm` template files. Spring `Model` attributes are available directly in templates via the BoxLang `variables` scope. **Requirements:** Spring Boot 3.x · BoxLang 1.11.0+ · JDK 21+ --- ## Dependency ### Gradle ```groovy dependencies { implementation "io.boxlang:boxlang-spring-boot-starter:1.0.0" } ``` ### Maven ```xml <dependency> <groupId>io.boxlang</groupId> <artifactId>boxlang-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> ``` --- ## Zero-Config Setup Adding the dependency activates `BoxLangAutoConfiguration`, which registers: - `BoxLangViewResolver` — resolves view names to `classpath:/templates/<name>.bxm` - BoxLang runtime singleton (`BoxRuntime.getInstance()`) No additional configuration is required to get started. --- ## Spring Controller Return a logical view name (without path or extension) from a controller method: ```java @Controller public class HomeController { @GetMapping("/") public String home( Model model ){ model.addAttribute( "title", "Welcome" ); model.addAttribute( "message", "Hello from BoxLang!" ); return "home"; // → classpath:/templates/home.bxm } @GetMapping("/users") public String users( Model model ){
