#Grails Markup Decorator Plugin This plugin uses pluggable decorators to modify markup in GSP pages.

The plugin provides standard decorators for:

• Abbreviation - make sure content is shorter than a limit
• URL - convert www.company.com to hyperlink
• JIRA - convert uppercase characters followed by dash followed by numbers to a JIRA browse url (configurable)
• Telephone - convert telephone numbers to tel: hyperlinks

Usage Examples

In the following examples the tag body is hard coded to make it easier to see the result. Normally you will have a variable with dynamic information from a database, etc. like this <g:decorate>${user.profile}</g:decorate>.

##Abbreviation decorator <g:decorate max="20">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</g:decorate>

The quick brown f...

<g:decorate max="30" middle="...">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</g:decorate>

The quick brow...the lazy dog.

##URL decorator <g:decorate>www.grails.org</g:decorate>

<a href="http://www.grails.org"> www.grails.org </a>

##JIRA decorator <g:decorate>Please see GRAILS-1234 for more information.</g:decorate>

Please see <a href="http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-1234"> GRAILS-1234 </a> for more information.

##Phone decorator <g:decorate>My telephone number is 555-123456</g:decorate>

My telephone number is <a href="tel:555123456"> 555-123456 </a>

Configuration

All installed decorators except jiraDecorator are applied by default when you use the <g:decorate/> tag.

You can limit the number of decorators applied by default with the decorator.include parameter.

decorator.include = ['abbreviate']

You can exclude decorators applied by default with the decorator.exclude parameter.

decorator.exclude = ['telephone']

Custom decorators

You can provide your own decorators. Just put a Groovy class in grails-app/decorators with a class name that ends with Decorator and implement the String decorate(String, Map) method.

class MyDecorator {

    /**
     * Make words/sentences surrounded with asterisk bold.
     */
    String decorate(String markup, Map params) {
        markup.replaceAll(/\*([\w\s]+)\*/){s, sentence -> '<strong>' + sentence + '</strong>' }
    }
}
