Scala Webapp Template

Overview

The Wiringbits Web Application Template is a skeleton used by Wiringbits to create new web applications in Scala/Scala.js. It provides all the necessary boilerplate to quickly start building a traditional web application. The template aims to simplify the technical choices involved in building a Scala web application and make it easier for engineers, even those without previous Scala experience, to start contributing and developing.

Features

• User registration and authentication, including email verification, profile updates, password recovery, and captcha for spam prevention.
• Integration with the React ecosystem, allowing most libraries and components to work seamlessly.
• PostgreSQL as the data store layer, a sensible choice for most web applications.
• Practical components for testing server-side code, making it simple to write tests for the Data/Api layer.
• Practical frontend utilities, such as easily testing frontend forms and ensuring a consistent UI during asynchronous actions.
• Typed data inputs, eliminating the need to manually validate form data on the backend.
• Reasonable Continuous-Integration workflows using Github Actions.
• Simple and easy-to-follow architecture with short guides for common tasks.
• Deployment scripts for cloud instances, promoting simplicity with managed servers instead of containers or Kubernetes.
