A templated Finatra application. See forthy/finatra.g8.
To compile and run tests:
sbt compile test
This project uses sbt-revolver to spin up a development instance quickly.
From an SBT console:
~re-start
This will run your application in a forked JVM, reloading it whenever files change locally.
This project use sbt-microsites to generate a project website.
The site's root directory is in the <project root directory>/src/main/tut.
From an SBT console:
sbt clean makeMicrosite
Then go to <project root directory>/target/site, then:
jekyll server
to publish the project website locally.
You need to install Jekyll first!
Finatra is a standlone Java application. You can build and package this application in any way you choose (e.g. sbt-assembly).
To make this process as simple as possible, the project template includes sbt/sbt-native-packager. This allows you to generate:
- A docker image
- A linux package
- A Redhat package (
rpm) - A Debian package
- A Windows installer (
msi) - A native package (via
javapackager)
For full details, see sbt-native-packger's docs
As an example, publishing this application to Docker locally is a cinch.
sbt docker:publishLocal
Check out the full sbt-native-packager documentation for all configuration options.
When this completes, run the image:
docker run $(docker images -a -q | head -1)
CTRL+C to kill the container.
The native packager's docker plugin gets you up and running in seconds. For longer term development, you'll probably find a Dockerfile to be a more maintainable solution.
