Feature request: type checked view references

[davidkron]

Hello

As I understand, the next Grails version 3.3 will have support for type checked GSPs, which I think is a great feature and I can't wait to use it!

I don't know if this is possible from a technical point of view, but I think this "type checked views" idea could be even better, if it could expand throughout the whole framework and not only the view layer: My idea would be to also provide type checked references to views. Currently, views in controllers are rendered by providing a string in the render method, like render(view: 'myView'). It would be great if such calls could also be used in a type checked manner (find missing views before runtime).

I have seen something like this implemented in the Play framework:
Content html = views.html.Application.index.render(customer, orders);

I don't know if this is possible, but at least for me, this would be a very useful addition.

@davidkron Thanks for the feature request. I think it would be very useful in combination of being able to pass type-checked parameters for the view.
