How do I pass a path variable in html action form of a specific parameter .

[Sarahle]

For example:
Http:localhost:8080/api/customer/{id}
If I post in postman instead of Id a parameter it will work fine ,
But in html I’m asking the user for an input and than I want to pass the input in the path instead of the Id
Is it possible ? Only spring boot and html .

Thanks in advance

You left out why you need to do this. There are ways to keep variables during a session so I can't guess why you pass by the URL.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish, but would using something like Swagger work?

Swagger is a JSON file that essentially documents your API, and then there are a handful of different Swagger tools that let you feed in that JSON file, and then they spit out documentation, example code in various languages, etc.

For example, the DaniWeb Connect API swagger file looks like this: https://www.daniweb.com/connect/developers/swagger

By passing that file in, you can then use the Swagger UI here: https://petstore.swagger.io/?url=https://www.daniweb.com/connect/developers/swagger

Notice that it lets you pass parameters and generate responses on the fly.

Is this something like what you're trying to accomplish?
