Getting started
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First you must make your application aware of play-mini.
|

|
|
|
In SBT you just have to add the following to your ``libraryDependencies``::

libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe" %% "play-mini" % "<version-number>"

Akka Mist
|
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Akka Mist (Akka's old HTTP/REST module) with Akka 1.x and wish to upgrade to 2.x
|
|
|
|
|
there is now a port of Akka Mist to Akka 2.x. You can find it `here <https://github.com/thenewmotion/akka-http>`_.

Other Alternatives
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a bunch of other alternatives for using Akka with HTTP/REST. You can find some of them
|
|
|
|
|
among the `Community Projects <http://akka.io/community>`_.
