jQuery for Grails Developers
summary
Builds a small Grails "tasks" app and shows concrete code: uses formRemote + jQuery to post a create, controller renders a JSON payload containing the single-task HTML produced by render template, client inserts that HTML into the table at the correct alphabetical position using a server-returned previousTaskId, then highlights it with jQuery UI effects. Demonstrates stepwise debugging in the browser console and shows Grails/Spock tests (including mockForConstraintsTests) to validate constraints and controller behavior; the approach works end-to-end.
