using value of enum in g:select when enum is attribute of selection object
enums, grails, gsp, scaffolding, select
Solution
enum BatchRange {
JAN1 "January Biweekly 1",
JAN2 "January Biweekly 2",
final String value
BatchRange(String value) { this.value = value }
String toString() { value }
String getKey() { name() }
}
Note the getKey() method. And then your g:select
<g:select name="batch" from="${BatchRange.values()}" optionKey="key" />
or
<g:select name="batch" from="${BatchRange.values()}" keys="${BatchRange.values()*.name()}" />
Problem
Example: batchTag is an enumerated type attribute of a batchRange, with values like so: ``` JAN1 "January Biweekly 1", JAN2 "January Biweekly 2", ``` etc. I want to display the VALUE of the batchTag in the select, IOW, the select should contain ``` "January Biweekly 1" "January Biweekly 2" ... ``` not ``` JAN1 JAN2 FEB1 FEB2 FEB3 ... ``` I have tried several things in the g:select to do this, but without any success. I thought perhaps "it" would be available as part of the g:select (as it is clearly an iteration) and tried to reference it.batchTag.name for the optionValue, but that did not work. Any suggestions? Thank you!
