enhance tutorial for play2-crud

karianna commented 10 years ago

Will there be a specific tutorial on using play2-crud-activator? I'm a bit confused how I should be migrating to this.

Tried adding "play2-crud-activator" % "play2-crud-activator" % "0.7.4-SNAPSHOT" but that didn't pick up the dependency.

Hi Martijn, please follow these instructions for the activator: http://typesafe.com/activator/template/play2-crud-activator

You can't search for templates in the activator UI. How can I install manually? Is it just an SBT plugin again?

hakandilek commented 10 years ago

Just search for "play2-crud" and you see the play2-crud activator there. It is listed as "Play + Java + CRUD"

Option 2, and 3 provide manuall installation instructions.

Doesn't seem to come up and I don't want to create a brand new activator project for this (I'm simply updating my old project). Anyhow - I've actually decided to move away from Play/Akka for this project, this was one of the many breaking changes when Typesafe introduced activator. Best of luck with the plugin!

Actually you don't need to convert an old project to use activator. Just install (in the PATH) activator and use activator command instead of old play executable. Like using activator clean instead of good old play clean.

Well these activator templates are only useful if you are starting a project from scratch. It's like using a maven archetype.
