This is a quickstart for a Vert.x Scala project. It provides a few examples for doing unit-tests.

It comes with vertx-core and vertx-web so you are good to go for a little REST-project. Take your time and take a look.

Scala console

After launching sbt you can switch to the scala-console. There we took care that you get an already initialized Vert.x-instance and the necessary imports to start playing around.

sbt
> console
scala> vertx.deployVerticle(nameForVerticle[HttpVerticle])
scala> vertx.deploymentIDs

From here you can freely interact with the Vert.x API inside the sbt-scala-shell.

Fat-jar

Take a look at the build.sbt and search for the entry packageOptions. Enter the fully qualified class name of your primary verticle. This will be used as entry point for a generated fat-jar.

To create the runnable fat-jar use:

sbt assembly

Dockerize

The project also contains everything you need to create a Docker-container. Simply run the following command to package your fat-jar inside a Docker-container

sbt docker

To run use

docker run -p 8666:8666 default/vertx-scala-sbt
