Elli Template for Rebar3

This repo provides a rebar3 template for the Erlang web library elli.

To install simply clone to ~/.config/rebar3/templates:

mkdir -p ~/.config/rebar3/templates
git clone https://github.com/tsloughter/elli_template.git ~/.config/rebar3/templates/elli_template

Use

$ rebar3 new elli name=proj_name
$ cd proj_name

See the callback module for a "hello world" example:

handle('GET',[<<"hello">>, <<"world">>], _Req) ->
    %% Reply with a normal response. 'ok' can be used instead of '200'
    %% to signal success.
    {ok, [], <<"Hello World!">>};

Starting up is as easy as rebar3 shell, then go to http://localhost:8080/hello/world to see it work.
