[FIXED] How to append a css class if user has specific role?

Issue

How to append a class to an element with th:classappend only if the user has a specific role?

Something like this:

<div th:classappend="${hasRole('EDITOR')?'glow':''}"></div>

I'm using Spring Boot, Spring Security and Thymeleaf.

Solution

You can use the request variable, which points to the current HttpServletRequest:

<div th:classappend="${#request.isUserInRole('EDITOR')?'glow':''}"></div>
