Grails with Htmx

Grails Plugin for using Grails with htmx.

    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {

    // Grails 4
    compile "org.rainboyan.plugins:grails-plugin-htmx:0.0.2"

    // Grails 5+
    implementation "org.rainboyan.plugins:grails-plugin-htmx:0.0.2"

class BookController {

    def list() {
        def books = Book.list()

        withFormat {
            htmx {
                render(template: "book", model: [bookList: books])
            }
            json {
                render books as JSON
            }
        }
    }
}

Also, this plugin supports extendsions for Grails Request and Response,

// You can get htmx request headers from Grails Request

request.htmx.boosted == request.getHeader('HX-Boosted')
request.htmx.target  == request.getHeader('HX-Target')

// Check htmx request?
if (request.htmx as boolean) { // or use request.isHtmx()
    template = 'book-detail'
}

// You can set htmx response headers in Grails

response.htmx.trigger = 'itemAdded'
