Build and Run

Using CMake

Requires

  • oatpp and oatpp-swagger modules installed. You may run utility/install-oatpp-modules.sh script to install required oatpp modules.
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make 
$ ./gridiron-demo        # - run application.

In Docker

$ docker build -t example-crud .
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 -t example-crud

Example endpoint boilerplate (*the render mechanism is about to change)

  ENDPOINT("GET", "/", root) {
    GridIron::Page page("gridiron-demo/testapp.html");
    GridIron::controls::Label lblTest("lblTest", &page);
    page.RegisterVariable("lblTest_Text", lblTest.GetTextPtr());
    lblTest.SetText("these contents were replaced");
    auto response = createResponse(Status::CODE_200, page.render().c_str());
    response->putHeader(Header::CONTENT_TYPE, "text/html");
    return response;
  }
