How can I create a detached predicate to send to a method and then do the search with criteria?
Something like this:
def predicate = { eq 'field1', 1 }
search(predicate)
--
def search(predicate) {
return SampleClass.withCriteria() {
predicate
eq 'field2', 2
eq 'field2', 3
}.find()
}
There is a way to do that to avoid ifs inside the criteria?

There are different approaches you could take. One is represented in the project at github.com/jeffbrown/victorsoarescriteria.
grails-app/domain/victorsoarescriteria/SampleClass.groovy
package victorsoarescriteria
class SampleClass {
String name
String country
int someNumber
}
grails-app/init/victorsoarescriteria/BootStrap.groovy
package victorsoarescriteria
import grails.gorm.transactions.Transactional
class BootStrap {
def init = { servletContext ->
initData()
}
def destroy = {
}
@Transactional
void initData() {
new SampleClass(name: 'Jeff', country: 'United States', someNumber: 42).save()
new SampleClass(name: 'Jake', country: 'United States', someNumber: 21).save()
new SampleClass(name: 'Bill', country: 'United Kingdom', someNumber: 27).save()
def greaterThanFive = search {
gt 'someNumber', 5
}
println "greaterThanFive.size() is ${greaterThanFive.size()}"
def greaterThanTwentyFive = search {
gt 'someNumber', 25
}
println "greaterThanTwentyFive.size() is ${greaterThanTwentyFive.size()}"
}
def search(predicate) {
SampleClass.withCriteria {
predicate.delegate = delegate
predicate()
}
}
}
