IntelliJ Spring Boot project can't find my CSS files with Thymeleaf

Question

I\'m new to Spring Boot and my problem is that I have Spring Boot project and I am intending to view my HTML pages with Thymeleaf but Spring can\'t resolve my JavaScript and CSS

Answer 1

I have found that Spring automatically searches for: /resources/.
So what I did was removed all the pre-directories by using find all.

So, in my case what used to be for example: /static/css/style.css & /templates/index.html

became: /css/style.css & /index.html

Now the question remains how does Spring boot know what folder to look in without you defining it: Spring looks at the extension. When spring boot sees .html, it looks for it in a folder called /templates.
