Build and Use

Build

activator compile

Use

Publish locally:

activator publish-local

Use in other projects:

libraryDependencies += "com.xcala" %% "xcala-play" % "0.3"

I haven't published Xcala into maven repositories yet. Because it's still under development and it's easier for me to use publish-local. Please let me know if there are simpler ways ;)

Known Issues

• Project structure is like a Play application while it's a library and should be improved
• Data services are hardly-coupled to Play config which should be decoupled
