Pekko HTTP quickstart

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

or

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

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

• name: Becomes the name of the project.
• scala_version: Specifies the Scala version for this 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.
• organization: Specifies the organization for this project.

The template comes with the following sources:

• QuickstartApp.scala -- contains the main method which bootstraps the application
• UserRoutes.scala -- Pekko HTTP routes defining exposed endpoints
• UserRegistry.scala -- the actor which handles the registration requests
• JsonFormats.scala -- converts the JSON data from requests into Scala types and from Scala types into JSON responses

Once inside the project folder use the following command to run the code:
