Pekko HTTP quickstart in Java

This repository is a fork of akka-http-quickstart-java.g8.

Please see the quickstart guide for a walk through the code.

You can use Giter8 to create your own project from the quickstart. There are two ways you can achieve that:

Prerequisites:

• JDK 11
• sbt 1.4.5 or higher (download here)
• Giter8 (the second way only)

(Without cloning the repo) open a console and run one of the two following commands:

sbt new theiterators/pekko-http-quickstart-java.g8

or

g8 theiterators/pekko-http-quickstart-java.g8

This template will prompt for the following parameters. Press Enter if the default values suit you:

• name: Becomes the name of the project.

• pekko_version: Specifies which version of Pekko should be used for this project.
• pekko_http_version: Specifies which version of Pekko HTTP should be used for this project.

The template comes with the following sources:

• QuickstartApp.java -- contains the main method which bootstraps the application
• UserRoutes.java -- Pekko HTTP routes defining exposed endpoints
• UserRegistry.java -- the actor which handles the registration requests

Once inside the project folder, to run this code:

sbt run

This template also provides build descriptors for maven and gradle. You can use any of the following commands to run the application:

mvn compile
mvn exec:java
