Minimum System Requirements

These projects are built with Grails 7 but sometime I will explain how it is done in older versions.

Tech	Version
Java	17
gradle	8
groovy	4
Grails	7

Install Grails

The easiest way to setup Grails in your local environment is by using sdkamn. Then add the file ".sdkmanrc" in every root directory of a project. Every time entering the directory it will load tech stack listed in .sdkman. Essentially you can run multiple different versions in the same local environment. For example this .sdkmanrc

# Enable auto-env through the sdkman_auto_env config
# Add key=value pairs of SDKs to use below
java=17.0.13-zulu
gradle=8.10.2
groovy=4.0.24
grails=7.0.0-M1

Examples

Examples are divided into different grails projects. Developers intention should be to learn from examples. Study the code and copy them to their own project. Examples may not be runnable.

• Example1: Basic Grails tips and tricks.
• Example2: DataSources.
• Example3: Create REST API.
• Example4: Consume REST API. Example include connecting to Netsuite and Salesforce.
