play-template

This is a small play framework application one can start development from

How to use it

• Create a repo in github
• Clone this repo to a needed folder

git clone git@github.com:liveintent-berlin/play-template.git my-new-project

• Make origin point to the created repo

cd my-new-project
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:liveintent-berlin/my-new-project

• Replace all placeholders in the template files with values pertinent to your new project.

  The placeholders generally <LOOK_LIKE_THIS>.

  <SCALA_APP_NAME> determines the name of your application in the sbt build. This name is also used for the packaged startup script. Examples: decision-engine-recommendation or streamliner.

  <EB_APP_NAME> should match the Elastic Beanstalk Application where this service is going to be deployed. Examples: DER or Streamliner.

  <AWS_SERVICE_TAG> should match the Service tag set up for the EB application. In most cases this will be the same as <EB_APP_NAME>.

  <SCALA_APP_NAME_WITHOUT_DASHES> is the same as <SCALA_APP_NAME> with all funny characters removed - the BuildInfo class is auto-generated in a namespace derived from the sbt name setting and will strip away characters that are not legal in namespace identifiers. Examples: decisionenginerecommendation or streamliner.

• git push origin master

git add .
git commit -m "ready to use"
git push origin master

• Get a coffee

bind(classOf[BuildInfoProvider]).toInstance(new MirrorBuildInfoProvider(BuildInfo))
