Ratpack project template
You have just created a basic Groovy Ratpack application. It doesn't do much at this point, but we have set you up with a standard project structure, a Guice back Registry, simple home page, and Spock for writing tests (because you'd be mad not to use it).
In this project you get:
-
A Gradle build file with pre-built Gradle wrapper
-
A tiny home page at src/ratpack/templates/index.html (it's a template)
-
A routing file at src/ratpack/Ratpack.groovy
-
Reloading enabled in build.gradle
-
A standard project structure:
| +- src | +- ratpack | | | +- Ratpack.groovy | +- ratpack.properties | +- public // Static assets in here | | | +- images | +- lib | +- scripts | +- styles | +- main | | | +- groovy | +- // App classes in here! | +- test | +- groovy | +- // Spock tests in here!
That's it! You can start the basic app with
./gradlew run
but it's up to you to add the bells, whistles, and meat of the application.
