(Quick Reference)
resource
Purpose
Generates a link (URI) string. Can be used in an href, JavaScript, Ajax call, etc.
This tag is aware of the
Resources plugin, and if it's installed the tag will correctly generate links to static resources processed by the plugin.
Examples
Example usages for the "shop" app:
// generates "/shop/css/main.css"
<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" />// generates "http://portal.mygreatsite.com/css/main.css"
<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" absolute="true" />// generates "http://admin.mygreatsite.com/css/main.css"
<g:resource dir="css" file="main.css" base="http://admin.mygreatsite.com"/>
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" />
