Get Methods in Grails Controller

Question

I have some working ruby and javascript. The javascript is this:

} else {
   $.ajax("/values/" + facet + "/" + searchTerm, {
       type:"GET",
   dataType:"json",
   success:function (res) {
       callback(res);
   }
});

Now I have a ruby method:

get '/facets' do
  content_type :json
  //return some json here
end

I am looking to write a groovy method that does the same thing, however I have never seen anything like this. How do you write a method like this in groovy? Thanks

You say in your title (but not the tags) that this is in Grails...

So you'd want to add (inside ValuesController.groovy ):

def facets() {
    String search = params.id
    render(contentType: 'text/json') {
        [ term: search ]
    }
}

That should return the json:

{ "term": "whatever searchTerm was in the JS" }
