Method Summary
`void` `generateController(GrailsDomainClass domainClass, String destDir)` Generates a controller for the supplied domain class
`void` `generateController(GrailsDomainClass domainClass, Writer out)` Generates a controller for the specified domain class, writing the result to the specified java.io.Writer instance
`void` `generateView(GrailsDomainClass domainClass, String viewName, String destDir)` Generates a view for the specified domain class and view name to the target directory
`void` `generateView(GrailsDomainClass domainClass, String viewName, Writer out)` Generates a view for the specified domain class and view name writing the result to the specified java.io.Writer instance
`void` `generateViews(GrailsDomainClass domainClass, String destDir)` Generates the necessary views for the supplied domain class
`void` `setOverwrite(boolean shouldOverwrite)` Whether the generator should overwrite existing files (defaults to false)
`void` `setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)` The resource loader to use to load templates from
