How to retrieve post data, validate it in controller and save it in database using GORM in Micronaut?

I come from Grails background and have recently started a project in Micronaut using GORM.

I tried to find required information in documentation but its not clear how we retrieve post data in controller, validate it similar to Command Objects offered in Grails and save it into database using interface service provided in documentation

PS : I know I can map every field to action argument in controller, and also declare a interface method specifying each argument as property but that does not seems right thing to do as my domain class has so many properties. Making the action @Transactional or any method would work for saving data as far as I know but I want to know the proper way in Micronaut.

My requirement is simple, save post data in database using GORM in Micronaut.

Solution

  • If I were you I would look back at the documentation, sections 6.4 to 6.11: https://docs.micronaut.io/snapshot/guide/index.html#binding

    https://docs.micronaut.io/snapshot/guide/index.html#datavalidation http://hibernate.org/validator/

    Micronaut is very annotation based, unlike Grails which uses convention over configuration. However in Grails 4, Micronaut will toke over the application context, giving you some of the benefits of Micronaut, but still maintaining the convention over configuration.
