Vert.x 4 simple Gradle project example

This project shows a very simple example project using Gradle, which has an HTTP server with a very simple API and backend.

To run the service, Java 17 needs to be available on your machine.

Use the project in your IDE

To use the project in Eclipse, first run

./gradlew eclipse

to generate an Eclipse project that you can import into your workspace.

If you prefer to use IntelliJ Idea you can just open the project directly (as Gradle project).

You can run or debug the service in your IDE by running the main class (BookService).

When running the application is available at http://localhost:8080 with a simple "Hello world" response.

The scripts/ folder contains some example API calls w/ curl.

Run using Gradle

Because the application plugin is being used, you can directly run the application:

./gradlew run

Now point your browser at http://localhost:8080
