bootstrap-play-25

This library implements basic functionality required by the platform frontend/microservices.

Adding to your build

In your SBT build add:

resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("hmrc", "releases")

libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" %% "bootstrap-play-25" % "x.x.x"

Configure as a frontend microservice

In your application.conf file, add:

# An ApplicationLoader that uses Guice to bootstrap the application.
play.application.loader = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.ApplicationLoader"

# Primary entry point for all HTTP requests on Play applications
play.http.requestHandler = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.http.RequestHandler"

# Provides an implementation of AuditConnector. Use `uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule` or create your own.
# An audit connector must be provided.
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule"

# Provides an implementation of MetricsFilter. Use `uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.graphite.GraphiteMetricsModule` or create your own.
# A metric filter must be provided
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.graphite.GraphiteMetricsModule"

# Provides an implementation and configures all filters required by a Platform frontend microservice.
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.FrontendModule"
play.http.filters = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.filters.FrontendFilters"

And in your SBT build add:

libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" %% "play-ui" % "x.x.x"
libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" %% "govuk-template" % "x.x.x"

Configure as a backend microservice

In your application.conf file, add:

# An ApplicationLoader that uses Guice to bootstrap the application.
play.application.loader = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.ApplicationLoader"

# Primary entry point for all HTTP requests on Play applications
play.http.requestHandler = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.http.RequestHandler"

# Provides an implementation of AuditConnector. Use `uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule` or create your own.
# An audit connector must be provided.
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule"

# Provides an implementation of MetricsFilter. Use `uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.graphite.GraphiteMetricsModule` or create your own.
# A metric filter must be provided
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.graphite.GraphiteMetricsModule"

# Provides an implementation and configures all filters required by a Platform frontend microservice.
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.MicroserviceModule"
play.http.filters = "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.filters.MicroserviceFilters”

Default HTTP client

A default http client with pre-configured auditing hook can be injected into any connector. The http client uses http-verbs For more http-verbs examples see https://github.com/hmrc/http-verbs-example

Make sure you have the following modules in your application.conf file:

play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule"
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.HttpClientModule"

import uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.http.HttpClient
import javax.inject.Inject

class SomeConnector @Inject() (client: HttpClient) {
  
  client.GET[Option[MyCaseClass]]("http://localhost/my-api")
}

User Authorisation

The library supports user authorisation on microservices

Make sure you have the following modules in your application.conf file:

play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuditModule"
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.HttpClientModule"
play.modules.enabled += "uk.gov.hmrc.play.bootstrap.AuthModule"

Your controller will look like this:

class MyController @Inject() (val authConnector: AuthConnector) extends BaseController with AuthorisedFunctions {
   
   def getSomething(): Action[AnyContent] = Action.async { implicit request ⇒
       authorised() {
         // your protected logic
       } 
   }
 }
