Feature Request: Allow only specific properties (like Grails "includes" param)

[vahidpaz]

I'm currently using the domain class marshalling configuration style. Are you planning to add a counterpart to "ignore" called something like "only"? This would behave like Grails 2.3 respond()'s "includes".

There are times when I want to say "only allow these properties during serialization". Currently it requires using "ignore" but with many list items.

Also, why not deprecate the use of the term "ignore" and go with Grails terminology like "excludes" and "includes"?

I agree that this would be an useful feature for domain classes that have a lot of properties...

I just started using this plugin in favor over grails standard behavior. Why won't use the same respond parameters inside the marshaller?

I can develop the feature, just need a little hint for where I should look. :smile:

Hi @genuinefafa

If you refer to this respond: http://grails.org/doc/2.3.11/ref/Controllers/respond.html, then I think this belongs to the controllers scope because it makes use of the request headers. This plugin on the other hand belongs to the domain and command objects scope.

Cheers, Angel.

Hi @aruizca

The respond docs are incomplete. Even the REST docs do not include those arguments, which is weird but not that strange.

The main advantage of using respond AFAIK is that it automatically chooses between as JSON or as XML.

You can see more information here or maybe check this out.

The main advantage of this plugin (grails-marshallers), for me at least, is that it allow me to make deep JSON, and set-up mapping criteria inside the Domain Class.

+1 for the include option - would be more than helpful!

Guys, I'm a github newbie when it comes to pull requests, and a Grails newbie at the same time. But I really needed an include mode since I have a bunch of marshallers where only id/name pairs are needed, so there was a lot of unnecessary bloat in the form of very long ignore lists.

I've got this working on my fork of the plugin (not pushed to github yet) - would you be willing to pull this change into the plugin? Right now I only have it implemented for JSON so I assume I would have to do this for XML as well. The way my implementation works is that include/ignore lists are mutually exclusive. If both are defined, then include takes priority. Let me know what you think - thanks!

Guys, any chance of a new official release of the plugin (i.e. v0.7 published to the Grails plugin repository) in the near future? We'd love to avoid using a custom build for the include option. Thanks! :)

Thanks, that would be awesome!

I encourage the author to release the HEAD of master as 0.7. I've forked the plugin and built my own into a private artifactory just to achieve this which everyone can benefit from.

0.7 release has just been submitted for approval.

@dhalupa How long does it usually take for approval?
