So I have a Grails (3.2.4) app, but the routes are all set to be singular names by default. For example: 

/product/2
/order/4952

I have managed to change the database table naming to use plural using the following in the Product domain class:

static mapping = {
    table "products"
}

Reading the docs, I also found the following (added to UrlMappings.groovy) to create an alias using plural routes:

"/products"(resources:"product")

But the singularly-named routes end up still available. So either /product or /products can be used. Is there a way to change the default Grails routes to always use plural instead of singular naming convention? That is, a way so I don't have to explicitly write code to define them to be plural.

No there is no way to change the default behavior for url mapping in Grails to use plural without you having to explicitly write code to define them.

  • What if you defined the controller using a plural name? Wouldn't that work by default? E.g. ProductsController instead of ProductController – nbkhope Jan 05 '17 at 19:51

    That would still be using the default behavior and not changing it to automatically make it plural. So, if you can change the names of your controllers (and/or domains, depending on how you are doing things) then this might work for you. But again, it's not changing the default behavior, like you asked. – Joshua Moore Jan 05 '17 at 19:55
