This is the source code for the Grails 3 - Step by Step Book sample application. The presentations site for this book is https://grailsthreebook.com. You can buy the book from https://leanpub.com/grails3book. You can read the sample chapter from https://leanpub.com/grails3book/read
The application is based on a multi project Gradle build so the application can be automatically built using Gradle - the build tool used by Grails 3 - a build scan here: https://scans.gradle.com/s/udze3slaacijm . This application is available online and the deployment is done automatically to AWS cloud in a Continuous Deployment style using Jenkins on this location: http://application.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com. Serenity living documentation: http://serenity-mvp.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
We structured our project in multiple applications and plugins, each having a clear responsability and a given Grails 3 profile:
| Name | Type | Grails profile | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-admin | application | web | The admin portal application (for intranet) used for administration |
| app-web | application | angular2 | The web application exposed to the customers (for internet) |
| mod-domain | plugin | plugin | A plugin with the application domain (domain services and entities) |
| mod-mobile | plugin | rest-api-plugin | A plugin containing the REST API consumed by a mobile app |
| app-microservice | application | rest-api | A miroservice exposing a REST API for used by the other apps |
The mod-domain plugin will be a dependency for all the applications because is the herth of the application. The micro-search microservice will be called by the others applications for some specific services using a REST API.
There is a dependency of mod-sandbox in web-sandbox: We have edited the build.gradle and added the dependency:
nano web-sandbox/build.gradle
We added this before dependencies section:
grails {
plugins {
compile project(":mod-sandbox")
}
}
We can run the web-sandbox application:
grails run-app --verbose
We get (you can seee that mod-sandbox is compiled before web-sandbox):
