snimavat / grails-fields

a spiritual successor to the bean-fields plugin

Note: master branch is now Grails 3.x. Grails 2.x has its own branch grails2.x

This is a fork of fields plugin for grails3.

A spiritual successor to the bean-fields plugin that attempts to provide a configurable way to render forms with appropriate inputs for different properties without having to copy and paste lots of boilerplate code. It should be possible to change the rendering for a field with the minimum of impact on any other code. This plugin attempts to achieve that by using GSP templates looked up by convention. Developers can then create templates for rendering particular properties or types of properties with the former overriding the latter.

This work comes from GRAILS-7635 and one of the major advantages would be to prolong the useful lifetime of dynamic scaffolding as developers can customize individual fields, add support for new property types, etc. whilst allowing scaffolding to continue laying out the overall page.
