Usage

Actions

Once the plugin is installed, action classes are created in the grails-app/actions directory. Action names must end with @Action@.

Actions can be created with:

grails create-action name

In an action class, defined closures will be made available to the client:

class DemoAction {
   def returnTrue = { ->
      true
   }
}

On the client, this action method can be called with:

demo.returnTrue(function(provider,response){
   alert('The function returned '+response.result);
});

Remoting API

On the client, the remoting API must be included with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="api"></script>

Kown issues

• Currently the plugin does not handle form posts (which are used when there is a file upload) JIRA

Why can't I use an action method with no argument?

def methodWithOneArgument = {
}

To declare a closure with no argument use:

def methodWithNoArgument = { ->
}
