Experimental http4s backend for Play framework. This is just a proof of concept for the moment and needs work.
To use the Akka HTTP server backend you first need to disable the Netty server and add the http4s HTTP server dependency to your project:
lazy val root = (project in file("."))
.disablePlugins(PlayNettyServer)
resolvers += "Knshiro's repository" at "https://dl.bintray.com/knshiro/maven"
libraryDependencies += "me.ugo" %% "play-server-http4s" % "0.0.5"Create a custom provider like
package provider
import me.ugo.http4s.middleware.JsonP
import play.core.server.ServerProvider
import play.core.server.http4s.Http4sServerProvider
class AppServerProvider extends Http4sServerProvider(Seq(JsonP(_)))Then add this to your conf/application.conf
play.server.provider = "provider.AppServerProvider"
So far it doesn't work in dev mode since you can't load the project classpath while starting the dev server. I also tried with a subproject but to no avail.
Middlewares can inject values in requests by the mean of Request.tags. It's
limited to String right now due to Play Request model.
Example using Referrals middleware from https://github.com/knshiro/http4s-middlewares:
import play.api._
import play.api.mvc._
import me.ugo.http4s.middleware.Referrals
class Application @Inject() (implicit ec: ExecutionContext) extends Controller {
def getReferralTag = Action { request =>
val referringSearchEngine = request.get(Referrals.referringSearchEngine.name).getOrElse("No referring search engine")
val referringSearchTerms = request.get(Referrals.referringSearchEngine.name).map(_.split(",")).getOrElse("No referring search engine")
Ok(referringSearchEngine + ":\n" + referringSearchTerms.mkString("\n"))
}
}
- Make dev mode work
- SSL
- Websockets
- Better enumerator to stream (and vice-versa) transformations.
