Resources Plugin -- How To include all contents in a directory?

grails, resources

Solution

problem solved.

As it turns out, the idea of running code to recuse through my javascript directories works. I just had the code incorrect. Here is the code that dynamically loads my javascript files:

--AppResources.groovy

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.context.ServletContextHolder as SCH

modules = {
    core {
        resource url: '/resources/css/app.css', disposition: 'head'
        resource url: '/resources/css/myapp.css', disposition: 'head'
        resource url: '/extjs/ext-all-debug.js', dispostion: 'head'

        getFilesForPath('/app').each {
          resource url: it
        }
    }
}

def getFilesForPath(path) {

    def webFileCachePaths = []

    def servletContext = SCH.getServletContext()

    //context isn't present when testing in integration mode. -jg
    if(!servletContext) return webFileCachePaths

    def realPath = servletContext.getRealPath('/')

    def appDir = new File("$realPath/$path")

    appDir.eachFileRecurse {File file ->
        if (file.isDirectory() || file.isHidden()) return
        webFileCachePaths << file.path.replace(realPath, '')
    }

    webFileCachePaths
}

The above will cause the Resource plugin to track my javascript files. Here's what the html looks like when Resources is in debug mode:

<script src="/myapp/extjs/ext-all-debug.js?_debugResources=y&n=1336614540164" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script src="/myapp/app/controller/LogController.js?_debugResources=y&n=1336614540164" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script src="/myapp/app/controller/LoginController.js?_debugResources=y&n=1336614540164" type="text/javascript" ></script>
<script src="/myapp/app/controller/ProfileController.js?_debugResources=y&n=1336614540164" type="text/javascript" ></script>

...

Being new to Grails, it is a very welcome fact that one can put executable code within a config file!

Problem

I have a grails app that contains a whole mess of individual javascript files in a series of nested directories. I want to manage them via the resources plugin, but don't want to have to explicitly register each one. Web Dir Structure ``` webapp app controller controller1.js controller2.js ... model model1.js ... view view1.js ``` what would be great is to just declare in my `AppResources.groovy` file: `resource url: 'app/**/*.js'` but that doesn't work -- throws a null pointer. I've tried: `resource url: 'app/**'` but with no luck I've thought that i would put some code in the config file that would recurse through the directory structure, but that doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I've tried: ``` def iterClos = { it.eachDir( iterClos ); it.eachFile { resource url: ${it.canonicalPath}; } } iterClos( new File("$grails.app.context/app") ) ``` Unfortunately that failed as well. Does anyone have any ideas how I could achieve this?
