  • 0

I’m creating a DB web application with grails for my company and found myself in the need to change the default scaffolding templates.

So far so good, everything gets generated with the modified templates (controllers, views, ..).

Now, however, I get a request to create some “composite screens” with functionalities and a layout that differ from the overwritten templates.

So now my question is: is it possible in grails to create one or more templates (next the the default one) and pass this template name as an argument to the generate-* commands?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Adding the template name to the generate commands was just an idea, if it’s possible to do this a different way, I’ll be happy too.

    Grails commands are scripts in grails/scripts. If you follow its logic you will see two things.

    1) There is only one parameter passed to the script → domain.

    2) Class for generating views is DefaultGrailsTemplateGenerator. You can analyse sourcecode and check what this class offers.

    Link to DefaultGrailsTemplateGenerator in GitHub.
