my searchable on grails
Posted: December 27, 2008 Filed under: code, grails, programming 1 CommentWithin grails, Book class-domain is very common used as sample. And here is my simple implementation of searchable plugin on Book class-domain:
Book.groovy
class Book {
String bookName Date release String description static Searchable = true }
BookController.groovy
def search = {
def bookInstanceList def searchResult if (params.query) { searchResult = Book.search('*'+params.query+'*') bookInstanceList = searchResult.results } else bookInstanceList = Book.list() render(view:'list', model:[bookInstanceList:bookInstanceList, searchResult:searchResult, query:params.query]) }
List view
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta name="layout" content="main" />
<title>Book List</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="nav">
<span class="menuButton"><a class="home" href="${createLinkTo(dir:'')}">Home</a></span>
<span class="menuButton"><g:link class="create" action="create">New Book</g:link></span>
</div>
<div class="body">
<h1>Book List</h1>
<g:if test="${flash.message}">
<div class="message">${flash.message}</div>
</g:if>
<div class="list">
<div class="nav">
<g:form name="search" action="search">
search: <input type="text" name="query" value="${query}"/>
<input type="submit" value="search">
</g:form>
</div>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<g:sortableColumn property="id" title="Id" />
<g:sortableColumn property="bookName" title="Book Name" />
<g:sortableColumn property="description" title="Description" />
<g:sortableColumn property="release" title="Release" />
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<g:each in="${bookInstanceList}" status="i" var="bookInstance">
<tr class="${(i % 2) == 0 ? 'odd' : 'even'}">
<td><g:link action="show" id="${bookInstance.id}">${fieldValue(bean:bookInstance, field:'id')}</g:link></td>
<td>${fieldValue(bean:bookInstance, field:'bookName')}</td>
<td>${fieldValue(bean:bookInstance, field:'description')}</td>
<td>${fieldValue(bean:bookInstance, field:'release')}</td>
</tr>
</g:each>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paginateButtons">
<g:if test="${searchResult}">
<g:paginate total="${searchResult.total}" params="[ query:query]"/>
</g:if>
<g:else>
<g:paginate total="${Book.count()}" />
</g:else>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
