Vert.x Thinkster.io Realworld (Conduit) Starter
Prerequisites
-
Apache Maven
-
JDK 8+
Getting started
Create your project with:
git clone https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-maven-starter.git PROJECT_NAME
Replace PROJECT_NAME
with the name of your project.
On Linux and MacOSx (or Windows with bash
), if you want to go faster and generate an already configured project run:
curl http://vertx.io/assets/starter-scripts/create-vertx-project-maven.sh -o vertx-create-maven-project.sh; bash vertx-create-maven-project.sh
Running the project
Once you have retrieved the project, you can check that everything works with:
mvn test exec:java
The command compiles the project and runs the tests, then it launches the application, so you can check by yourself. Open your browser to http://localhost:8080. You should see a Hello World message.
Anatomy of the project
The project contains:
-
a
pom.xml
file -
a main verticle file (src/main/java/io/vertx/starter/MainVerticle.java)
-
an unit test (src/main/test/io/vertx/starter/MainVerticleTest.java)
Start to hack
-
Delete the
.git
directory -
Open the
pom.xml
file and customize thegroupId
,artifactId
andversion
. You can also change themain.verticle
property to use your own package name and verticle class. -
Run
redeploy.sh
(orredeploy.bat
on Windows) and the project recompiles while editing.
Note
|
the redeploy script are also configurable
|
Building the project
To build the project, just use:
mvn clean package
It generates a fat-jar in the target
directory.
