Getting Thymeleaf ready for Spring 5 and Reactive
summary
Thymeleaf adapts to Spring 5 WebFlux by adding a new thymeleaf-spring5 module (Thymeleaf 3.0.x), engine changes to honor back-pressure and produce limited data buffers, and three execution modes: full, chunked and data-driven mode. The engine implements engine throttling / hibernation so rendering can pause and resume on downstream requests. Demo app (reactive-matchday on GitHub) uses Spring Boot 2.0, Spring WebFlux and a MongoDB tailable cursor to stream HTML via Server-Sent Events; project claims 220,000 monthly downloads.
