Derived Properties using aggregate functions in Grails

Question

I\'m trying to create derived properties based on contained objects.

Example below:

class Generation {

    String name

    DateTime productionStart

           


        

Answer 1

Another way to try it is to create a getter instead of derived properties:

class Generation {

    String name

    DateTime productionStart

    DateTime productionEnd

    static transients = ['productionStart','productionEnd']

    static belongsTo = [line: Line]

    static hasMany = [bodyStyles: BodyStyle, engines: Engine, models: Model]

    static constraints = {
        line nullable: false
        name nullable: false, unique: ['line'], maxSize: 255, blank: false
    }


    DateTime getProductionStart() {
      def datetime = Engine.createCriteria().get {
        eq('generation',this)
        projections {
          min('productionStart')
        }
      }

      return datetime

    }

    DateTime getProductionEnd() {
      def datetime = Engine.createCriteria().get {
        eq('generation',this)
        projections {
          max('productionEnd')
        }
      }

      return datetime
    }

}
