ember-data-grails

This repo sprung out of my StackOverflow self-answer, with the goal to be more complete and easy-to-use.

Using The Adapter

Just include ember-data-grails.js, and update your App definition so that it looks like this:

App.Store = DS.Store.extend({
    revision: 12,
    adapter: DS.GrailsAdapter.create({
        namespace: 'grailsContext'
    })
});

For simple applications, you'll want to set namespace to the application context for your Grails application. If you are using the root context, set it to an empty string.

Grails Controller Modifications

The only modifications that are necessary to your JSON-serving Grails controllers are to set a root key to the name of the controller. ember-data requires this to know what kind of data it's filling in. I have included a utility class to do this, RESTControllerAssistant.groovy.

A simple example controller is included which makes use of this.

Also included is an example UrlMappins.groovy, which maps HTTP verbs to Controller actions. This is necessary so that POST /myCoolDomain/1 and GET /myCoolDomain/1 do the correct thing.
