The Grails Framework 6.0.0

(Quick Reference) ## findBy* ### Purpose Dynamic method that uses the properties of the domain class to execute a query returning the first matching result. ### Examples Given the domain class `Book`:
    class Book {
        String title
        Date releaseDate
        String author
        Boolean paperback
    }
The following are all possible:
    def b = Book.findByTitle("The Shining")
    b = Book.findByTitleAndAuthor("The Sum of All Fears", "Tom Clancy")
    b = Book.findByReleaseDateBetween(firstDate, new Date())
    b = Book.findByReleaseDateGreaterThanEquals(firstDate)
    b = Book.findByReleaseDateLessThanEquals(firstDate)
    b = Book.findByTitleLike("%Hobbit%")
    b = Book.findByTitleIlike("%Hobbit%") // ignores case
    b = Book.findByTitleNotEqual("Harry Potter")
    b = Book.findByReleaseDateIsNull()
    b = Book.findByReleaseDateIsNotNull()
    b = Book.findPaperbackByAuthor("Douglas Adams")
    b = Book.findNotPaperbackByAuthor("Douglas Adams")
    b = Book.findByAuthorInList(["Douglas Adams", "Hunter S. Thompson"])
### Description GORM supports the notion of Dynamic Finders. The `findBy*` method finds the first result for the given method expression. The following operator names can be used within the respective dynamic methods: `LessThan` `LessThanEquals` `GreaterThan` `GreaterThanEquals` `Between` `Like` `Ilike` (i.e. ignorecase like) `IsNotNull` `IsNull` `Not` `NotEqual` `And` `Or` `InList` The above operator names can be considered keywords, and you will run into problems when querying domain classes that have one of these names used as property names. For more information on dynamic finders refer to the user guide. | Quick Reference (hide)
