Requirements

Activator

You can get this example through Activator. For more information please use following url that explains how to get this template on your computer step-by-step: https://www.typesafe.com/activator/template/akka-http-rest

Configuration

  • Create database in PostgresSQL
  • Set database settings on application config or set enviroment variables

Changing application config

There are two config files. Application config src/main/resources/application.conf and test config src/test/resources/application.conf.

Enviroment variables

  • PSQL_URL - database url by scheme jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database-name
  • PSQL_USER - database user
  • PSQL_PASSWORD - database password

Run application

To run application, call:

sbt run

If you wanna restart your application without reloading of sbt, use:

sbt re-start

Run in Docker

For launching application in Docker, you must configure database docker instance and run docker image, generated by sbt.

Generating application docker image and publishing on localhost:

sbt docker:publishLocal

Example of running, generated docker image:

docker run --name restapi -e DB_USER=dbuser -e DB_PASSWORD=dbpass -e DB_NAME=dbname -d --link DATABASE_INSTANCE_NAME:database -p 9090:9000 APPLICATION_IMAGE
  • DATABASE_INSTANCE_NAME - name of your Postgresql docker instance
  • APPLICATION_IMAGE - id or name of application docker image

Run tests

To run tests, call:

sbt test

Live example

Application deployed on heroku and can be accessed by URL http://akka-http-rest.herokuapp.com/. First request can take some time, because heroku launch up project.

You can see documentation for this example on Apiary.
