Is it possible to get information from string literal, pass it to Thymeleaf and add th:href ?

[Petra Petrova]

Hello,
I have this button which is dynamically created along with some hotel information. After clicking on the button I want the user to be redirected to the booking form page.

// Book Now button 
< div class = "d-flex justify-content-end mt-1" >
	!-- < div class = "btn btn-primary booking-btn text-uppercase" data - hotel - id = '${hotel.id}' > Book Now < /div>--> 
	<div class = "btn btn-primary booking-btn text-uppercase" th: href = "@{/hotels/{id}/booking-form(id=${hotel.id}" > Book Now < /div> 
	</div > 

I have th:inline in the script tag and I have tried with /*<![CDATA[*/ right after the script tag and /*]]>*/ just before the closing script  tag and this
/*[[th:href="@{/hotels/{id}/booking-form(id=@{hotel.id}"]]*/

No matter what UI platform you use, complex EL is more trouble than it is worth. If at all possible, you should construct the URL in the UI Model bean, not on the web page template or in JavaScript. That way the template can be much simpler (for example 'href="#{hotel.bookingURL}"' and if you do have problems, you can set a breakpoing on the "getBookingURL method in Java to more easily determine what went wrong and why.
