2,781 PointsThe output result doesn't show String , instead it shows : spark.ModelAndView@508e5484
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
get("/", (req, res) -> new ModelAndView(null, "index.hbs"), new HandlebarsTemplateEngine());
post("/sign-in",(req,res)->{
Map<String, String> model = new HashMap<>();
model.put("username" , req.queryParams("username"));
return new ModelAndView(model,"sign-in.hbs");
});new HandlebarsTemplateEngine();
}
}
sign-in.hbs :
<body>
<p>Welcome {{ username }}! </p>
</body>
When I type anything in the input field it shows : spark.ModelAndView@508e5484 , the numbers are random everytime

you in fact need: , new HandlebarsTemplateEngine() );
Notice you need to create a lambda and create a new handekbarsTemplateEngine object which are both passed as parameters to the post method.
Your syntax is only passing the lambda because you have a ";" followed by calling for a new HandelbarsTemplateEngine object.
Try not to go cross-eyed. But yes this is really awkward in my opinion. The powers that be in the Java world are trying to make this better... hopefully
