play-webpack-example

This Example demonstrates play-webpack

• Utilises Isomorphic server side rendering (with React)
• Uses GraphQL with apollo-client on the frontend and sangria on the backend to execute async calls.

Run with docker

If you just want to know what it exactly does, try the docker container:

docker run -p 9000:9000 bowlingx/play-webpack-example:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dplay.http.secret.key=notSoSecret

Install

Requirements

• sbt
• Yarn and node >= 6

Backend and frontend are build separately. The Backend is an ordinary play project with some glue code to allow GraphQL query execution on the JS Event-Loop that play-webpack creates.

The Frontend part is a webpack2 configured react project. It includes flow and eslint rules and validation. Additionally I added react-router.

Start

• yarn install to install all frontend dependencies

• yarn run develop to start the frontend compiler

• sbt and run to start the play project

Hot-Reload

Hot reload on the frontend is available with yarn run hot.
