util:remotePaginate

Creates next/previous buttons and a breadcrumb trail to allow pagination of results, without a page refresh using ajax calls.

Example domain class

class Book {
       String title
       String author
}

Example controller:

class BookController {
  def list = {
     [books: Book.list(params)]
  }
  def updateList ={
  	render(template:"listTemplate" ,model:[ bookInstanceList: Book.list(params )])
  }	
}

remotePaginate code:

<util:remotePaginate controller="book" action="updateList" total="${Book.count()}"
                                   update="listTemplateDivId" max="20" pageSizes="[10, 20, 50,100]"/>

util:remoteSortableColumn

Purpose

Renders a remote sortable column to support sorting in tables , without a page refresh using ajax calls.

Examples

<util:remoteSortableColumn property="title" title="Title" update="listTemplateDivId"/>
<util:remoteSortableColumn property="title" title="Title" style="width: 200px" update="listTemplateDivId"/>
<util:remoteSortableColumn property="author" defaultOrder="desc" title="author" 
                                    titleKey="book.author" update="listTemplateDivId"/>

Description

Attributes update, action and either title or titleKey are required. When title or titleKey attributes are specified then titleKey takes precedence, resulting in the title caption to be resolved against the message source. In case when the message could not be resolved, the title will be used as title caption.

Attributes

• property - name of the property relating to the field
• defaultOrder (optional) - default order for the property; choose between asc (default if not provided) and desc
• title (optional) - title caption for the column
• titleKey (optional) - title key to use for the column, resolved against the message source
• params (optional) - a map containing request parameters
• action (required) - the name of the action to use in the link
• update (required) – the id of the div/span which contains the tag to render the template, which displays the list.
• controller (optional) - the name of the controller to use in the link, if not specified the current controller will be linked
