I am working on a Grails form item that just populates a list of FaqCategories from an FaqCategory domain class. All I want the select dropdown to do is display the list. So far, this sort of works, but I'm not sure how to generate the list or what to put in the Value section if anything.
Form item:
<div class="col-sm-9">
<g:select name="Category" from="${FaqCategory.list()}" required="" class="form-control" aria-labelledby="faqCategory-label" value=""/>
</div>
Domain class #1
class Faq {
String question
String answer
FaqCategory faqCategory
static constraints ={
question nullable:false, maxSize:1000
answer nullable:false, maxSize:1000
faqCategory nullable:false
}
}
Domain class #2
class FaqCategory {
String categoryType
String toString(){
"$categoryType"
}
static constraints = {
categoryType nullable:true, maxSize:100, unique:true
}
}
Controller snippet
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
def create() {
respond new Faq(params)
}
Controller code :
yourAction(int id){
//do some
def faqInstance = Faq.get(id)
render[view:"form",model:[faqInstance:faqInstance]]
}
<g:select name="faqCategory"
from="${FaqCategory.list()}"
value="${faqInstance?.faqCategory?.categoryType}"
optionKey="id" />
Hope it helps..
