Grails - Tag - resource

Tag - resource

Description

Creates a link that can be used where necessary (for example in an href, javascript, ajax call etc.)

Parameters

  • dir (optional) - the name of the directory within the grails app to link to
  • file (optional) - the name of the file within the grails app to link to
  • absolute (optional) - If set to "true" will prefix the link target address with the value of the grails.serverURL property from Config, or http://localhost:<port> if no value in Config and not running in production.
  • base (optional) - Sets the prefix to be added to the link target address, typically an absolute server URL. This overrides the behaviour of the absolute property, if both are specified.

Examples

Example usages for the "shop" app:

<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" /> == /shop/css/main.css
<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" absolute="true"/> == http://portal.mygreatsite.com/css/main.css
<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" base="http://admin.mygreatsite.com"/> == http://admin.mygreatsite.com/css/main.css

Example as a method call in GSP only:

<link type="text/css" href="${resource(dir:'css',file:'main.css')}" />

Results in:

<link type="text/css" href="/shop/css/main.css" />
