grails 2.0 including resources the simple way?
I've been battling various resource inclusion issues in my migration from Grails 1.3.7 from Grails 2.0, probably not understanding a few things to begin with.
Firstly, what does
<g:javascript library="application" />
do? (this was in the default main.gsp provided in Grails 1.3.7).
Secondly, for including jquery across my application, can I just do
<r:require module='jquery' />
<r:layoutResources />
in the top of my main sitemesh page that does the
<g:layoutHead />
...
<g:layoutBody />
and "be done with it", using the
<r:layoutResources />
a second time after the
<g:layoutBody />
Thanks
Answer
Yes I struggled a little with this at first too.
So firstly the <g:javascript library="application" /> refers to a module defined in a config/*.Resources.groovy file (default is config/ApplicationResources.groovy), inside that you have named modules, eg:
modules = {
application {
resource url: 'js/jquery/jquery-ui-1.8.15.custom.min.js', disposition: 'head'
}
}
Secondly by example a Grails2 main.gsp (cutdown a lot here):
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title><g:layoutTitle default="Grails"/></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${resource(dir: 'css', file: 'main.css')}" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${resource(dir: 'css', file: 'mobile.css')}" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${resource(dir: 'css/redmond', file: 'jquery-ui-1.8.15.custom.css')}" type="text/css">
<g:layoutHead/>
<g:javascript library="jquery"/>
<r:require module="application"/>
<r:layoutResources/>
</head>
<body>
<g:layoutBody/>
<r:layoutResources/>
</body>
</html>
Hope that sets you in the right direction
