Improve and talk more about Grails scaffolding features

[itexto]

Grails has the best scaffold I had ever used. It's great, easy to customize and, more important: generate GREAT code.

It was a shame when at the time of the release of Grails 3 there was plans to remove this feature from Grails (thank you for didn't doing that!)

Now we are seeing more and more people using SSR in frameworks like Angular, Vue, React. I think that Grails should invest more on this feature. But more than invest and improve, show to the world what we can do with it.

Because as a consultant, many times the main feature of Grails that customers wanted and LOVED was the scaffolding mechanism. And even today, this is one of the main differentials of the framework.

The closest we get is the admin module of Django (which have many limitations). jHipster is not even close because it don't deal well with legacy databases and Ruby on Rails is waaaaaaaay behind Grails in this feature.

It's not a Scaffolding feature but I kind of feel you may be interested in Dueuno Elements: https://medium.com/@gianlucasartori/my-first-dueuno-elements-application-in-3-steps-tutorial-4210e606c204

I agree with this comment for several parts of Grails. The fields plugin, which scaffolding leverages, is the best form field rendering solution I have seen. It is the DRYest and a pleasure to use.

Enhancing the documentation and having more examples will definitely spread the word.

Scaffolding for MongoDB is buggy.
I do not know how common is MongoDB+grails combo. But I love it.

I am not saying that didn't happen, but I don't remember that. Did we publish something to that effect at one point?

Hi Jeff, yes: at the time the first version of 3.0 did not have the scaffolding feature. It was added on the next release. Em qua., 2 de out. de 2024 às 15:10, Jeff Scott Brown < ***@***.***> escreveu:
