Caused by: org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Could not parse as expression

Question

I need to parse value from map into HTML template using Thymeleaf in Spring Boot.

This is my controller :

public class GraphController {

    @GetMapping("/displayBarGraph")
    public String barGraph(Model model) {
        Map<String, Integer> surveyMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        surveyMap.put("Java", 40);
        surveyMap.put("Dev oops", 25);
        surveyMap.put("Python", 20);
        surveyMap.put(".Net", 15);
        model.addAttribute("surveyMap", surveyMap);
         return "barGraph";
    }
}

This is my template :

I'm trying to map static data using the Hashmap in my controller as surveyMap.key() and surveyMap.value().

But when running the application I got this error :

Caused by: org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Could not parse as expression: "$,{surveyMap.key()}" (template: "barGraph" - line 40, col 27)

Any solution please?

you should convert your map into a javascript array, can use javascript inline — cralfaro, Jul 05 '21 at 14:30
you could use a code similar to this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53189356/how-to-inline-javascript-with-thymeleaf and get the data from your map into a javascript array or matrix, then use it in your JS code xAxis, data properties etc — cralfaro, Jul 05 '21 at 14:45
