About

This plugin makes Slick a first-class citizen of Play 2.2.

The play-slick plugins consists of 2 parts:

DDL schema generation Plugin that works like the Ebean DDL Plugin. Based on config it generates create schema and drop schema SQL commands and writes them to evolutions.
A wrapper DB object that uses the datasources defined in the Play config files. It is there so it is possible to use Slick sessions in the same fashion as you would Anorm JDBC connections.

Setup

In the project/Build.scala file add::

In your application, add "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "0.5.0.8" to the appDependencies in your project/Build.scala file:

to your play.Project.

Example :

 val appDependencies = Seq(
   //other deps
  "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "0.5.0.8" 
 )

Add slick.default="models.*" and:

db.default.driver=org.h2.Driver
db.default.url="jdbc:h2:mem:play"
db.default.user=sa
db.default.password=""

to application.conf and create a model. Creating models are described in the Slick documentation: http://slick.typesafe.com/doc/1.0.1/lifted-embedding.html#tables.

NOTE: the Slick documentation is slightly outdated. The computer-database contains a proposal that better describes the current reality: https://github.com/freekh/play-slick/blob/master/samples/computer-database/app/models/Models.scala#L20.

Play 2.2.x is supported by the 0.5.x series. The Play 2.1 was supported in the 0.4.x series.

From Play 2.3 this module will be integrated into Play.
