(Quick Reference)
Controller Usage
A controller fulfills the C in the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern and is responsible for handling web requests. In Grails a controller is a class that ends in the convention "Controller" and lives in the
grails-app/controllers directory. A controller can be created with the
create-controller command:
grails create-controller hello
Or via your favourite IDE or text editor.
class HelloController {
def world = {
render "Hello World!"
}
}Each action in the controller is a callable block (for example the
world action above) that has access to a number of implicit variables and methods which are covered in this reference documentation.
Refer to the user guide topic on
Controllers for more information.
