Akka HTTP quickstart in Scala

The Akka family of projects is managed by teams at Lightbend with help from the community.

Please see the quickstart guide for a walk through the code.

You can use Giter8 to create your own project from the quickstart. Or, download and extract the zip file(https://example.lightbend.com/v1/download/akka-quickstart-scala?name=akka-quickstart-scala) to a convenient location.

Prerequisites:

• JDK 17
• sbt 1.4.x or higher

Open a console and run the following command to apply this template:

sbt new akka/akka-http-quickstart-scala.g8

This template will prompt for the following parameters. Press Enter if the default values suit you:

• name: Becomes the name of the project.
• scala_version: Specifies the Scala version for this project.
• akka_http_version: Specifies which version of Akka HTTP should be used for this project. Must be at least 10.6.0.
• akka_version: Specifies which version of Akka should be used for this project. Must be at least 2.9.0.
• organization: Specifies the organization for this project.

The template comes with the following sources:

• QuickstartApp.scala -- contains the main method which bootstraps the application
• UserRoutes.scala -- Akka HTTP routes defining exposed endpoints
• UserRegistry.scala -- the actor which handles the registration requests
• JsonFormats.scala -- converts the JSON data from requests into Scala types and from Scala types into JSON responses

Once inside the project folder use the following command to run the code:

sbt run
