Purpose
The
create-views generates the views for a domain class
Examples
grails create-views Person
grails create-views "*"
Description
Given at least one domain class, this command creates the views for it. The command will generate the following files:
grails-app/views/index.gspgrails-app/views/_header.gspgrails-app/views/_topMenu.gspgrails-app/views/_menu.gsp
Besides, the plugin will install the following templates:
src/templates/scaffolding/_content.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_list.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_form.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/renderEditor.template
Finally, for the class domain, the plugin will generate the following files:
grails-app/views/{domainClass}/_content.gspgrails-app/views/{domainClass}/_list.gspgrails-app/views/{domainClass}/_form.gsp
The plugin overrides some important files that could already exist:
grails-app/views/index.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_form.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/renderEditor.template.
For this reason, use the create-views command carefully if you are working on an existing application.
Usage:
grails create-views [domainClass]
If you don't specify a domain class, the command only generate the following files:
grails-app/views/index.gspgrails-app/views/_header.gspgrails-app/views/_topMenu.gspgrails-app/views/_menu.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_content.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_list.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/_form.gspsrc/templates/scaffolding/renderEditor.template
The domain class templates will not be generated and the command will throw an error about the domain class.
Arguments:
domainClass - Either a domain class name (case-sensitive) without its package or a wildcard (*). If you specify the wildcard the artifacts will be generated for all domain classes.
