Getting application config in doWithSpring closure with a Grails 3 application

Question

Grails 3 allows authors to use startup hooks similar to the ones provided to Grails 2 plugins. I'm looking at defining beans in the doWithSpring closure, and I'd like to pass values into a new bean based on some configuration values. I can't figure out, however, how to get the grailsApplication instance or the application configuration. How do you do this with Grails 3?

Answer 1

Your plugin should extend grails.plugins.Plugin which defines the getConfig() method. See https://github.com/grails/grails-core/blob/9f78cdf17e140de37cfb5de6671131df3606f2fe/grails-core/src/main/groovy/grails/plugins/Plugin.groovy#L65.

You should be able to just refer to the config property.

Likewise you can refer to the inherited grailsApplication property which is defined at https://github.com/grails/grails-core/blob/9f78cdf17e140de37cfb5de6671131df3606f2fe/grails-core/src/main/groovy/grails/plugins/Plugin.groovy#L47.

I hope that helps.
