Greetings

Simple greetings application to showcase developing web services with Ace and Raxx.

Ace is a featherweight toolkit for developing web applications in Elixir. Similar to Sinatra for Ruby and Flask for Python.

• Ace on Hex
• Documentation for Ace
• Discuss on slack

Run

The greetings app in this project is started automatically with the shell. Therefore to run in development use

$ rebar3 shell

Then visit localhost:8080.

Comments

• At the moment the rebar3 plugin for Elixir does not do a good job of managing dependencies. This is manifest twofold.
  1. Each dependency has to be declared individually but the should be inferrable as dependencies of Ace.
  2. running application:ensure_all_started(ace) is a problem because it tries to start even development dependencies such as ex_doc.
