bindData
Purpose
Allows fine grained control of binding request parameters from strings onto objects and the necessary types (data binding).Examples
// binds request parameters to a target object
bindData(target, params)
// exclude firstName and lastName (since 0.4)
bindData(target, params, ['firstName', 'lastName'])
// only use parameters starting with "author." e.g. author.email (since 0.5.5)
bindData(target, this.params, "author")
bindData(target, this.params, ['firstName', 'lastName'], "author")// using inclusive map
bindData(target, this.params, [include:['firstName', 'lastName']], "author")
// using exclusive map
bindData(target, this.params, [exclude:['firstName', 'lastName']], "author")
Description
Usage: bindData(target, params, excludes, prefix)Arguments:
target - The target object to bind toparams - The source parameters, can be either a map or the params objectexcludes - The parameters to excludeprefix - A string representing a prefix to use to filter parameters. A prefix separator of "." is assumed
The underlying implementation uses Spring's Data Binding framework. If the target is a domain class type conversion errors are stored in the errors property of the domain class.Refer to the section on Data Binding in the user guide for more information.
