Ext JavaScript Plugin for Grails

Author: Jimmy

7 Apr

Marcel Overdijk has released Ext plugin for Grails.

This plugin provides integration with the Ext JavaScript Library. When installing the plugin, it downloads and installs automatically the latest Ext 2.0.2 distribution in your application, and registers itself to be used with the adaptive AJAX tags. It also contains two helper tags to easily include additional Ext JavaScript and CSS files as well.

Installation

To install the Ext plugin type this command from your project’s root folder:
grails install-plugin ext
The complete Ext distribution is downloaded and installed under your project’s \web-app\js\ext\2.0.2 folder.

Usage

To use Grails’ adaptive AJAX support just add the following line in the head section:
1
2
3
<ext:javascript dir=“build/widgets” file=“MessageBox-min.js” />
<ext:javascript dir=“build/widgets” file=“MessageBox-min.js” version=“2.0.1″ /> // version to be used in case multiple version installed
<ext:stylesheet dir=“resources/css” file=“ext-all.css” />

It’s good news that Ext lib is now seamlessly integrated with Grails - a modern Java framework that I adore. Please visit project home page for more info and download.
