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.[1]
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.[2]
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.[3]
