Web Development with Webmachine for Erlang

Webmachine-Example

This is an example for a simple REST API build with Erlang and Webmachine. Its creation is discussed in: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Web_Development_with_Webmachine_for_Erlang

Also I took an example from here: https://github.com/figield/webmachine-example Thanks jups23

Project Skeleton for the mybets app.

You should find in this directory:

• README.md : this file
• Makefile : simple make commands
• rebar : the Rebar build tool for Erlang applications
• rebar.config : configuration for Rebar
• start.sh : simple startup script for running mybets
  • /ebin
    • /mybets.app : the Erlang app specification
  • /src
    • /mybets_app.erl : base module for the Erlang application
    • /mybets_sup.erl : OTP supervisor for the application
    • /mybets_resource.erl : a simple example Webmachine resource
• /priv
  • /dispatch.conf : the Webmachine URL-dispatching table
  • /www : a convenient place to put your static web content

You probably want to do one of a couple of things at this point:

0. Build the skeleton application: $ make

   • or: $ ./rebar compile

1. Start up the skeleton application: $ ./start.sh

2. Change the basic application: edit src/mybets_resource.erl

3. Add some new resources: edit src/YOUR_NEW_RESOURCE.erl edit priv/dispatch.conf
