Easygrid | Grails plugin - simple and declarative way

Add the following plugin dependencies to your BuildConfig.groovy. Check latest published version on Grails plugin portal. After installation you need to run grails easygrid-setup command. This will append the grid templates in the /templates/easygrid folder, where you can customize them. And it will also add the '/conf/EasygridConfig.groovy' file - where you can add general settings.
You can add the resources via the resources plugin like this: <r:require modules="easygrid-jqgrid-dev,export"/> , or via the assets-pipeline plugin like:. The convention is: 'easygrid.${implementation}.[js/css]' For the selection widget you have to add: 'easygrid.selection.js' together with jqgrid. Merge _jqGridRenderer.gsp and/or _dataTablesGridRenderer.gsp. Merge _jqGridRenderer.gsp and/or _dataTablesGridRenderer.gsp. This version will break only custom inline edit closures. To upgrade you need to add a second parameter to saveRowClosure, updateRowClosure or delRowClosure. This parameter will be of type InlineResponse. In order to send messages to the UI you will need to use this object instead of the return values. Checkout the reference implementation: GormDatasourceService.updateRow. This is a major update and it will break existing grids. Please let me know ASAP if you have problems upgrading First of all check the petclinic example: and the example repositories.
Merge _jqGridRenderer.gsp
when using inline editing with jqgrid, by default rows will enter editing mode on doubleclick
the renderers were rewritten . Any change should be ported to default properties.
there is no longer necessary to define filterClosures in most of the cases. Easygrid generates them for you. Check the petclinic example for some examples.
taglibs: there are nicer ways of customizing the view in 1.5.0 using grid:set - check the example
isolate all the changes you did to the easygrid section of the Config file and move them to /conf/EasygridConfig.groovy
after that remove the entire easygrid section from Config
if you use the custom inline edit closures (updateRowClosure, etc.) - the fist parameter of the closure will be the actual gridConfig object
Merge the rendering templates to benefit from the latest features in Config.groovy :
add a default.export.maxRows value
add default.autocomplete.autocompleteService = org.grails.plugin.easygrid.AutocompleteService
add default.idColName = 'id'
if you want to use the dynamic filtering form , you need to add the config for this filterForm { defaults{ filterFormService = org.grails.plugin.easygrid.FilterFormService filterFormTemplate = '/templates/filterFormRenderer' } }
replace filter.column with filter.filterable where the default search closures are defines
merge the rendering templates to benefit from the latest features
some new default configs in Config.groovy
the autocomplete 'constraintsFilterClosure' has only the 'params' parameter instead of filter
in the 'defaults' section of the configuration, you must add a export section, where you need to define the service and default parameters for each export type
on install, templates are copied to the /templates/easygrid folder (and the default configuration was updated too)
filter closures now have 1 parameter which is a Filter class
the labelFormat has a slightly different format (for compatibility reasons with groovy 2.0 - see the comments )
'domain' datasource has been replaced with 'gorm' - for consistency
maxRows - has been added to the autocomplete settings
a filters section has been added to each datasource implementation , with predefined closures for different column types
change the annotation to @Easygrid
change the columns (the column name/property in the head now instead of label)
replace datatable to dataTables
overwrite or merge the renderers
In Config.groovy the labelFormat is now a plain string: labelFormat = '${labelPrefix}.${column.name}.label' replace EasyGridExportService with EasygridExportService replace DatatableGridService with DataTablesGridService and datatableGridRenderer with dataTablesGridRenderer
configure the label format for grids
in the taglib - replace id with name
