Using the Inject Method
@mrhaki explains:

Grails Angular Profiles
If you were using Grails Angular profiles, this blog post by @Schlogen is a must read for.

Groovy Calamari is two years old 🎂🎂. 17th of April 2015, I sent the first issue of this newsletter.
Thanks to every reader and most importantly thanks to every content author who makes this newsletter possible.
Groovy 2.x already empowers amazing DSLs (see link below for such an example). However, I am looking forward to see what you guys are capable to built with Groovy 3 (see link below).
