Scalatra/ScalaQuery project

A derivative of Scalatra sbt project this repo is intended to get a scalatra/scalaquery based web app setup quickly.

Use this template

• Install giter8 (g8)

$ brew install giter8

• Get the g8 template and run it:

$ g8 AdamFerguson/scalatra-scalaquery
$ cd <name-of-app>
$ ./sbt
> container:start

• Open the default website in your browser.

IDE support

This template includes plugins that generate all the necessary files for working with either eclipse or intellij, depending on your preference. After generating the application, execute either sbt eclipse or sbt idea (or both!) from the project to directory to generate your IDE's dependencies. Note, anytime a dependency is added to the build.sbt file, these commands will need to be run again.

JRebel

Note: I recommend checking out JRebel for auto code redploys. is an IDE plugin that eases auto-deploy on code changes. They offer free one year licenses for Scala developers. It's definitely worth a look.

Database

This template is setup to work with postgres. The template will prompt you for the database name. This database will still need to be created locally. Make sure to run:

createdb DATABASE_NAME

From there, ScalaQuery can be used for creating the DB schema using ScalaQuery's DDL API

Modify this template

• Install sbt, version 0.12.0 or higher.
• Fork scalatra/scalatra-sbt.g8 on GitHub to your account. Let's assume your account is "foo".
• Clone it.

$ git clone git@github.com:foo/scalatra-slick.g8.git

• Now make your desired changes.
• Do a local deploy of your modified template and try it out.

$ sbt
> g8-test # must result in SUCCESS
> exit
$ cd target/sbt-test/default-*/scripted
$ sbt
$ container:start

• If you like your new template, push it to GitHub.

$ cd /path/to/scalatra-slick.g8.git
$ git push

• You can now access your modified template using g8.

$ cd
$ g8 foo/scalatra-slick.g8
