Grooscript is a library that converts Apache Groovy code to JavaScript code. grooscript-x.y.z.jar is required to convert the Groovy code to Javascript, and grooscript.js is needed to run the generated code.

Although Grooscript has some limitations compared to Apache Groovy, it can use domain classes in both the server and the client. A typical development process is to create a dynamic single webpage application in Groovy, test its various parts with Spock, and use web sockets to speed up page reloading on the fly.

Features

Most valid Groovy files that will compile in Apache Groovy will convert to JavaScript using Grooscript. Setting up the conversion environment is as simple as putting

compile 'org.grooscript:grooscript:1.3.0', {
    exclude module: "groovy"
}

in the Gradle build file.

Plugin support for Grails version 3.0 is provided, as well as online code conversions.
