Description

Grails supports a feature known as scaffolding which involves the generation of a CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) interface for a given domain class.

The generate-all command generates an implementation of CRUD including a controller and views for the given domain class. So for a domain class org.bookstore.Book a controller in grails-app/controllers/org/bookstore/BookController.groovy and views in grails-app/views/book will be generated.

Usage:

grails generate-all [name]

Fired Events:

  • StatusUpdate - When generation begins
  • StatusFinal - When generation completes

Arguments:

  • name - Either a domain class name (case-sensitive) or a wildcard (*). If you specify the wildcard then controllers and views will be generated for all domain classes.
