This is a small showcase of what a project using Laminar, Play, ZIO and Slick could look like.

The technologies are for:

• Laminar: make the frontend (browser side) in Scala
• Play: Scala web framework
• Slick: library for communicating with the database
• ZIO: functional effect library for gluing all things together nicely.

Once sbt is installed on your machine, in sbt command line:

• fastOptCompileCopy compiles the frontend and puts the compiled file in the server public directory
• backend/run runs the server locally on localhost:9000.

With two sbt consoles open, you can have backend/run running in the first one and ~fastOptCompileCopy in the other so that frontend is automatically recompiled on file changes.

There is one example of a test case available in the shared project. Run sharedJVM/test to run them (It is useless to run the sharedJS test since they are exactly the same).

All of the afore mentioned technologies could be replaced by similar others:

• Laminar: see also scala-js-react and Slinky, or even Laminar-cycle
• Play: see also cask, akka-http or http4s
• Slick: see also doobie, quill
• ZIO: see also scalaz, cats-effect
