Akka-HTTP Routes

Learn how to start the server and implement the routes for returning and updating a single product.

We'll cover the following...

Basic routes

Defining the routes is pretty simple if you are used to the Akka-HTTP routing DSL syntax.

Press + to interact
val route = path("product" / JavaUUID) { id: ProductId =>
  get {
    ???
  } ~ put {
    ???
  }
} ~ path("products") {
  get {
    ???
  } ~

Press + to interact
val host = system.settings.config.getString("api.host")
val port = system.settings.config.getInt("api.port")
val srv = Http().bindAndHandle(route, host, port)
val pressEnter = StdIn.readLine()
srv.flatMap(_.unbind()).onComplete(_ => system.terminate())

The code will fire ...
