how to pass params using action button in grails
action, button, grails, parameters, submit
Solution
The Grails documentation doesn't list `params` as one of the attributes accepted by `actionSubmit`.
It is possible to inject the value you want in your params list in the controller by exploiting what that tag actually does:
def editPhone = { forward(action:'action', params:[actionTaken: 'editPhone'])}
def editEmail = { forward(action:'action', params:[actionTaken: 'editEmail'])}
You may also just want to just code completely separate logic into the `editPhone` and `editEmail` actions if that makes your code cleaner.
Updated View Code:
<g:actionSubmit action="editPhone" value="${message(code: 'default.button.edit.label', default: 'Edit')}" />
Problem
been having toruble with the button that has action. I have several btns which I want to know its paramaeter. In grails tutorial it says it should be like this: ``` <g:actionSubmit action="action" value="${message(code: 'default.button.edit.label', default: 'Edit')}" params="['actionTaken':editPhone]"/> ``` I tried using remotelink, submitButton, submitToRemote tags but none works. I always get null when I try parsing it in my controller: ``` def action= { def actionTaken = params.actionTaken def employeeId= params.employeeId MySession session = MySession.getMySession(request, params.employeeId) profileInstance = session.profileInstance switch(actionTaken) { case "editPhone" : isEditPhone=true break case "editEmail" : isEditEmail=true break } render(view:"profile", model:[profileInstance:session.profileInstance, isEditPhone:isEditPhone, isEditEmail:isEditEmail]) } ``` What am I missing? is my params code wrong? Is my code in parsing params wrong? this just gets me in circles with no progress. help. thanks.
