The Grails Asset-Pipeline is a plugin used for managing and processing static assets in Grails applications.
Asset-Pipeline functions include processing and minification of both CSS and JavaScript files. It is also capable of being extended to compile custom static assets, such as CoffeeScript or LESS.
Here is one way of using the asset pipeline grails plugin to write Page Specific Javascript
specific.js // will be included by default
var pageSpecific = function() {
console.log('Hello from specific page!)
});
$(document).ready(function({
if($(document.body).data('page') == 'specific') {
pageSpecific())
}
}));
index.gsp
<meta name='layout' content='main'/>
<body data-page="specific">
<h1>Hello from Specific!</h1>
</body>
main.gsp // modify so that it passes the data-page attribute to the JS (since index.gsp uses main as a layout)
<body data-page"${pageProperty(name:'body.data-page')}">
// main body content
</body>
