How to get value from spring controller class in javascript?

Question

I have a controller class in spring. I am passing values such as a simple string or a hashmap. I know how to get values in thymeleaf. I want to get values on my html page in pure javascript, no thymeleaf. My controller class :

    String s="RUSSIA";
    @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String Country( Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("country", s);
    return "index";
    }

Now I want to get this string in javascript variable. I am using HTML not JSP.

There are a large number of ways you can do that. Without knowing what libraries you're using on the JS side and what browsers you're targeting, we can't possibly suggest a good one. — ssube

You could do something like this:

<script th:inline="javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/

    var country = [[${country}]];
    console.log(country);

/*]]>*/
</script>

If you want to run your html offline you can do this, and the JS variable will be always the fixed value of Russia

var country = /*[[${country}]]*/ 'Russia';
