A profile for creating applications using AngularJS
Version: 1.1.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
Table of Contents
1 Introduction
Grails Profiles encapsulate project commands, templates and plugins. To create an application using the angularjs profile you can use
the next command:
You can also choose this project when generating your project from the Grails Application Forge, either from the web app or via the API:
curl -O start.grails.org/myapp.zip -d profile=angularjsGrails Application Forge is a great way to discover the different provided features in the profile.
2 Upgrade
You can explore the differences between Grails versions, to ease the upgrade of your Grails application created with the angularjs profile.
3 Profile Name
This profile was orginally named angular. In order to be consistent with the Angular team’s guidelines on naming conventions it was renamed to angularjs Read about the angular profiles name changes.

4 Plugins
If you create a Grails application with the angularjs profile you will see several
dependencies included in build.gradle.
Some of those are of special interest while developing AngularJS application with Grails.
In particular you will see a project and buildscript dependency to the Grails Angular Scaffolding Plugin. This plugin provides basic CRUD abilities using Angular in a single page application.
Read the Grails Angular Scaffolding blog post to see an example.
Additionally the project contains several dependencies worth mentioning:
Dependency |
Description |
Allow our templates to be accessilbe client side |
|
Annotate our angular code for us. |
|
Wrap each of our files in an inmediately invoked functional expression |
|
Client Dependencies Gradle Plugin allows you to declare client side dependencies in build.gradle. You will find client side depedencies declared in |
5 Date Data Binding
The scaffolding relies on the default format Angular applies to dates when they are included in a request. In Grails 3.1.x and later, the date format is not included in the default list of date formats that databinding will attempt to use. You can easily add it yourself via configuration.
