10.3 Linking to REST resources from GSP pages 5.3.2

(Quick Reference) # 10.3 Linking to REST resources from GSP pages Version: 5.3.2 ## 10.3 Linking to REST resources from GSP pages The `link` tag offers an easy way to link to any domain class resource:
    <g:link resource="${book}">My Link</g:link>
However, currently you cannot use g:link to link to the DELETE action and most browsers do not support sending the DELETE method directly. The best way to accomplish this is to use a form submit:
    <form action="/book/2" method="post">
             <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="DELETE"/>
    </form>
Grails supports overriding the request method via the hidden `_method` parameter. This is for browser compatibility purposes. This is useful when using restful resource mappings to create powerful web interfaces. To make a link fire this type of event, perhaps capture all click events for links with a `data-method` attribute and issue a form submit via JavaScript. | Quick Reference (hide)
