Most common grails plugins

Tags:

grails

One of the features which makes Grails wonderful is the plugin architecture. Over the years, it has fostered a large community of developers and users that are continuously enhancing the value which Grails provides. I hardly ever find myself working on a project which doesn't have a handful of 3rd party and/or custom plugins.

What are some of your "go to" plugins? (e.g. the plugins which you find yourself almost always adding to your projects) What makes those plugins soo useful?

What are Grails plugins?

A Grails plugin project is just like an application project except it contains a plugin descriptor and can be packaged as a plugin and installed into other applications. Plugins are not just useful for plugin developers, but also as a way to modularize large Grails applications.

Where are Grails plugins stored?

By default the plugins are in . grails/<version>/<project>/plugins . You can change it by setting grails. project.

I would say in my case:

  1. Database migration to have more control of how the database is created/updated, etc.
  2. Spring Security for authentication and authorization
  3. JQuery and JQuery UI because JQuery rocks
  4. Spring Cache to manage page caching
  5. Joda-time to handle dates more easily
  6. Codenarc to help keep coding standards and coding rules

There are other that I think are great but they depend more on your needs like:

  • Searchable
  • Rest
  • jms
  • Datasources
