Hi all,
Basic scaffolding is now implemented in Grails. To see it in action
take a look at the blog sample up by doing
grails init
grails run-app
and going to
http://localhost:8080/blog/app/entry/listA very basic weblog implemented in Grails. But the cool thing about it
is it demonstrates Grails non-templated approach to scaffolding. The
controller is essentially this:
class EntryController {
@Property boolean scaffold = true
@Property createComment = {
def e = Entry.get( this.params["entryId"] )
def c = new Comment()
c.properties = this.params
e.comments.add(c)
e.save()
redirect(action:this.show,params:[ "id": this.params["entryId"] ] )
}
}
Note how there is only one action and it redirects to another action
"show" which is a scaffolded action, the rest of the actions are
scaffolded.
At the moment only the server side actions are being scaffolded and
you have to write the views by hand, but its a start...
Phase 2 will be getting scaffolding of the views done and
incorporating all of the stuff to do with constraints that was
discussed.
BUT before phase 2 can commence I have to start the Grails tag library
as some aspects of the custom views will be dependant on this
(validation, linking etc.)
Cheers,
