Hi all,
I'm very happy to announce the *final release of Gaelyk 1.0*, the
lightweight Groovy <http://groovy.codehaus.org> toolkit for Google App
Engine!
It took some time to get to 1.0, but it's now here, with the key feature
I've been missing since the beginning of the project, in particular the
Query DSL which allows you to write queries like this one:
def latestArticles = datastore.execute {
select all from articles
sort desc by dateCreated
where author == params.author
limit 10
}
If you want to learn more about this lightweight framework, head over to:
http://gaelyk.appspot.com/
You can learn everything through the tutorial:
http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial
And download the JAR or the template project here:
http://gaelyk.appspot.com/download
Should you want to ask questions on the Google
Groups<http://groups.google.com/group/gaelyk>,
get involved in the community, participate in the development of this Open
Source project <https://github.com/glaforge/gaelyk>, have a look at our
community page:
http://gaelyk.appspot.com/community
This release wouldn't have been possible with all the great contributions of
you all, your pull requests on GitHub <https://github.com/glaforge/gaelyk>,
your Gradle plugins, your bug
reports<https://github.com/glaforge/gaelyk/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open>,
your questions on the Google Group, etc. So I'd like to tell you all a big
thank you for all your work and contributions. They were very much
appreciated, and keep them coming!
The change log:
- GAE SDK updated to 1.5.2 and Groovy to 1.8.1
- Introduction of a Query DSL for creating SQL-like queries against the
datastore <http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/app-engine-shortcuts#query>
- Updated template
project<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/template-project> with
a Gradle build, the usage of Gradle GAE / Gaelyk plugins, and the support of
Spock for testing Groovlets
- Introduction of the plugins page <http://gaelyk.appspot.com/plugins> in
the Gaelyk website, for referencing known plugins
- By annotating classes with GaelykBindings, the same services and
variables are injected in your classes as
properties<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/views-and-controllers#gaelykBindings>,
as the ones which are injected in Groovlets and templates
- The validation
closures<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/url-routing#path-variable-validation>
of
the routes in your URL mapping have access to the request, so you can
validate a URL depending on what's in your request (attribute, session,
etc.)
- Added a DSLD file (DSL descriptor) for Eclipse for easing
code-completion and navigation
- Added a get() method on
Key<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/app-engine-shortcuts#delete-get-on-key>,
as well as on lists of keys
- Ability to convert lists to
Keys<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/app-engine-shortcuts#list-to-key-coercion>
- Added two encoded string and key
conversion<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/app-engine-shortcuts#key-string-conversion>
utilities
- Additional datastore.get()
methods<http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial/app-engine-shortcuts#datastore-get>
to
retrieve entities by their keys more concisely
- Problems with the recent XMPP support fixed
- Fixed inability to access the various services and variables from
within binding/before/after blocks in plugin descriptors
Thanks a lot for your attention, and enjoy developing Groovy applications on
Google App Engine!
