Model And Globals

ViewModel is the per-request data container.

POJO-First Pattern

Keep page state in a POJO and pass it as a single key:

return ViewModel.empty()
    .with("page", new HomePage("Flash + jte", "elorc"))
    .with("build", "dev");

Then type it in template:

@import com.example.HomePage
@param HomePage page
@param String build

new JteExtension().addGlobal("appName", req -> "Flash")

Globals are available under global namespace in templates.

global is reserved and cannot be used as local model key.
