Grace with Unpoly

Grace Plugin for using Grace/Grails app with Unpoly.js.

Usage

Add dependency to the build.gradle,

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.graceframework.plugins:unpoly:VERSION"
}

Unpoly plugin supports controller-specific withFormat() method,

class BookController {

    def list() {
        def books = Book.list()

        withFormat {
            unpoly {
                render(template: "book", model: [bookList: books])
            }
            json {
                render books as JSON
            }
        }
    }
}

Also, this plugin supports extendsions for Grails Request and Response,

// You can get unpoly request headers from Grails Request

request.unpoly.version == request.getHeader('X-UP-Version')
request.unpoly.target  == request.getHeader('X-UP-Target')

// Check Unpoly request?
if (request.unpoly as boolean) { // or use request.isUnpoly()
    template = 'book-detail'
}

// You can set Unpoly response headers in Grails

response.unpoly.target = '.content'
response.unpoly.events = JsonOutput.toJson([["type": "itemDeleted"]])

If you use respond method introduced in Grails 2.3. The respond method tries to produce the most appropriate response for the requested content type (JSON, XML, HTML etc.)

You can configure mime types for Unpoly.

Update the app/conf/application.yml:

grails:
    mime:
        types:
            up: text/html

For example given the show action:

def show(Book book) {
    respond book
}

You could supply a show.up.gsp file to render the Unpoly:

<div id="${book.id}">
    <h1>${book.title}</h1>
    <p>${book.description}</p>
</div>
