playing-slick-pg

Building Reactive Play application with Slick extensions for PostgreSQL

This is a classic CRUD application, backed by a PostgreSQL database. It demonstrates:

• Handling asynchronous results, Handling time-outs
• Achieving, Futures to use more idiomatic error handling.
• Accessing a JDBC database, using Slick.
• Achieving, table pagination and sorting functionality.
• Embedded JS & CSS libraries with WebJars.
• Play and Scala-based template engine implementation
• Integrating with a CSS framework (Twitter Bootstrap 3.1.1). Twitter Bootstrap requires a different form layout to the default one that the Play form helper generates, so this application also provides an example of integrating a custom form input constructor.
• Bootswatch-Yeti with Twitter Bootstrap 3.1.1 to improve the look and feel of the application

Instructions :-

• Install PostgreSQL, if you do not have it already. You can get it from here
• Create a database called test
• To run the Play Framework, you need JDK 6 or later
• Install Typesafe Activator if you do not have it already. You can get it from here
• Execute ./activator clean compile to build the product
• Execute ./activator run to execute the product
• playing-slick-pg should now be accessible at localhost:9000
